Warning: Spoilers
This is one of only 10 movies out of hundreds that He made that John Wayne actually dies or is killed in. The other nine are not seen that often on TV---but people cannot believe that "The Duke" even died or was killed in any of His movies. The list contains both westerns & action movies from almost all decades. 40s--50s--60s & 70s. The list includes: The Wake Of The Red Witch, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Cowboys, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Shootist, The Alamo, Reap The Wild Wind. It is widely know of a story which was told By a person who was there on the Tonight Show of the night that a man bragged of making Wayne back down in a Hotel lobby that He & Wayne were staying at while filming a Movie. A film crew member heard the boast & went too Wayne's room too inform him of the mans claim. Wayne walked up behind the man & In His most recognisable voice said "I Hear You Made Me Back Down From A Fight Pilgrim"--at which the man passed out in shock.
