    Best scene he ever did was as Rooster Cogburn when, as he put his reins in his mouth, he said to Robert Duvall "Fill your hand, you son of a b1tch!"

    "The Shootist" was his last movie.

    As for the can opener thing, lesser services call it a "P38".

    Now buffs, how many did he die in, no fair looking it up
    John Wayne:
    Reap the Wild Wind (1942)
    The Fighting Seabees (1944)
    Wake of the Red Witch (1949)
    The Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)
    The Alamo (1960)
    The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
    The Cowboys (1972)
    The Shootist (1976)

    In "The Deceiver" (1931), Wayne had an uncredited role as a dead body, and in "Central Airport" (1933) he was one of two men seen floundering in the sea at night after their plane had crashed.

    In one other film, "The Sea Chase" (1955), it is not made entirely clear whether he dies at the end or not. It is left for the audience to decide whether he survives or goes down with his sinking ship.

    "Fill your hands you sons of a b1tch" Probably one of my all time favorite lines. The mold was busted when he checked out, won't be any more like him.

    John Wayne

    I never understood the love fest with John Wayne and the military. He was an actor not a war hero. Although he supported the military and he was a good actor he did not join the military during the nation's greatest time of need. (Like many in Hollywood did). I will not say he is a dodger, just someone that should not be idolized. York, Murphy or Dan Daily would be more appropriate.

    John @#%#$@ Wayne

    Different strokes for different folks.

    In the sixties when a lot of star were protesting like Hanoi Jane, John (so what if he never served) Wayne made a movie about Nam. Yeah, I know it was about the green beanies, but it was Pro-military.

    OOHRAH

    There are a lot of WW2 Vets who did not like John Wayne because he did not join any branch of the services. There were a bunch of Hollywood actors who did join. One other thing just this past week there was a documentary on John Wayne's death. While the filming of The Conqueror in Snow Canyon in southern Utah in I think 1953 or 54 they were in a high level area of atomic fall out from the tests in Nevada. About half the the actors and film personnel ended up with cancer.
