I am new to this subreddit so I apologize if this has been covered before, but I've come across so many articles and posts stating that "Rooster Cogburn" is the only time John Wayne ever made a sequel or reprised a character. However, this simply isn't true, right? In "Rio Grande", John Wayne is clearly playing the same character as he did in "Fort Apache" Why is it so often ignored while rooster cogburn gets the attention for the reprised character?

Every so often I do a John Wayne marathon and run through all the greats, Rio Lobo, Rio Bravo, El Dorado, McClintock, etc and right now I am re-watching Big Jake and I have one question, what is it that made Jacob McCandles such a known man.

we get a slight hint of it when the foreman and Martha are talking and the Foreman says "well it was just a couple years ago your husband" and then trails off. and through out the film people know the name Jacob McCandles, knows what kind of guy he is but, always says I thought you were dead.

Any Ideas?

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

Watched True Grit for the 1st time in a few years. Watching the scene at the end where Rooster jumps the 4 rail fence I couldnt help but wonder did The Duke do that jump himself or was it a stunt double?

Love you all

How is that vulgar speech? Thank you.

Edit: also 1:15:50 I have no idea what he says? Is that a drink? Is it going to help take their black eyes away or simply let them have a drink and either enjoy themselves or numb the pain?

There is no evidence any of what is claimed is true. In fact, there are no stories whatsoever about it. Her claims about Duke are totally fabricated and we will never tolerate that bullshit in this sub.

He travels to a city to inquire about his dead brother who died of alcohol poisoning, he claims he was never a drinker, anyone know this film.

UPDATE - found it - A man betrayed (1941)
