    Similar to High Noon but the complete opposite: Countdown to the Train Vs. Prison Defense, one pushes out, one sucks in. Gary Cooper was thin and nervous, and he wanted help but no one came, and John Wayne was strong and laid-back, and he didn't want to involve others, but there was always someone who offered to help. The colors are black and white versus color, the time is doubled, and several gunfights and several characters are extremely entertaining. Ford defines Westerns, Hawks defines...

    One of the most classic Westerns and one of John Wayne's best, very traditional and very flavorful. The foreshadowing of each character is very long, the sheriff of a small town, an alcoholic who is a deputy sheriff, a lame old man who guards prisoners, a mysterious romantic woman, a villain who does many evils, condensed all Western movies....

    The acting is superb especially the babbling lame old man and the romance of the last man is moving but the plot drags a bit for a western and John Wayne always seems to be playing the same...

    The only thing that the whole film can't compare to "Guanshan Feidu" should be that the heroine is too soy sauce. But she is also a dusty woman. The heroine in "Red Galloping Dragon" looks much more sexy and sultry than the one in "Guanshan...

    Seeing and hearing the top 100 western masterpieces. It is different from the despair of [Noon]. The optimistic spirit runs through the whole film. The perfect interpretation of the plot and the appropriate slow rhythm add comedy to the whole. Western famous song. Dude gotta have a Chance. I will arrest you (I love...

    20190927le. That's why I love old movies. A lot of shots and cinematic feel are great now. The several partners arranged for the sheriff are wonderful and complementary. John Wayne's sheriff is too upright, maybe it would be better if it were a little more ruffian. It looks cool. 4.5

    The returning hero

    "Are you competent?" In Howard Hawks' 1959 masterpiece "The Scared Dragon", John Changs (played by John Wayne) repeatedly asked his partner, facing the fierce Joe and his gang, as long as The slightest negligence pays the price of life. If I had to choose a favorite among Hawks’ countless classics,...

    [Film Review] Rio Bravo (1959) 7.8/10

    Allegedly, Howard Hawks' jaunty response to the daunting self-centeredness and pessimism permeated in Fred Zinnemann's revisionist Western classic HIGH NOON (1952), RIO BRAVO reunites Hawks with marquee star John Wayne, over a decade after their last enterprise RED RIVER (1948) , the whole...

    Carlos Robante: I yell at her, come down! She said she ain't coming! I go up and get her, she said she don't go!

    John T. Chance: Well did she go?

    Carlos Robante: Please! I tell her you say go! I tell her I am responsible, she say *no*, *she* is responsible! And I say "that may be"... and I pick her up. Then Consuela say, "what are you doing with that woman?" And I say I take her to the stage! "The woman," she said, "she don't want to go on the stage!

    John T. Chance: Well, did she go on the stage?

    Carlos Robante: Please! Then Consuela tell me, "put her down!" I said "I am responsible!" Consuela, she thinks that means something else! So she give me this eye!
