Sedalia Dave Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 So as to not hijack Major Crimes thread but can anyone name all EIGHT movies where The Duke had an on screen death? Sea Chase doesn't count as the movie leaves you wondering if Captain Ehrlich and Miss Keller really went down with the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The Conqueror - if he wasn't actually killed, he should have been. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Crimes Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Had to look it up: His death is seen in the following films:• The Shootist - He is killed in a gunfight in at the end of the film. • The Cowboys - He is killed by Bruce Dern's character. • The Alamo - Playing Davy Crockett, he is killed by a Mexican soldier's lance. • Sands of Iwo Jima - He is killed by a sniper's bullet at the end of the film. • Wake of the Red Witch - He dies as the ship sinks. • The Fighting Seabees - He is shot by a sniper. • Reap the Wild Wind - He is killed by a giant squid. His character death is not shown in the following:• The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - His character is dead at the beginning of the film and the story is told in flashback by James Stewart who is attending his funeral. • The Sea Chase - Lana Turner and Wayne are on a ship when it sinks, but the possibility that the characters survived is left open. • The Deceiver - Ian Keith's character died, but the corpse was played by John Wayne. • Central Airport - John Wayne has a very minor role as the co-pilot of an aircraft that crashes into the ocean.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Following "The Cowboys" ...... it was years before Bruce Dern could get work. If he actually has ....... I haven't noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
