My dad had all John Wayne's movies on DVD. He would watch them over and over......True Grit and North To Alaska were his favourites. My dad passed away February this year he was 87yo...my dad served in the Aussie Army and learnt his trade as a mechanic. My Dad had True Grit.
God Bless your father! He must have been a real man with exceptional good taste!
Gods speed. Sounds like he raised a good kid.
@@danielmulhern3375 he was raised with 8 brothers and sisters in a 2 bedroom house at Seven Hills. My dad was conscripted into the Aussie army during the Korean war. He did his bit and learnt his trade as a mechanic. He had True Grit mate.
This scene is so ingrained in my brain that it will be eternal. My dad took me to this movie about 1968? I had to be kept awake for 24 hours so they could do a precidure the next day. I love himforever for his unselfish love.
True Grit and North To Alaska are two of my favorite Wayne movies .
I was 6 years old. The 1st movie my Dad ever took me to see. My Mom had the church ladies over. When we got home I told them about this scene and repeated the SOB line. My Mom rolled her eyes
I have to say, it's one of my favorite lines. "FILL YOUR HANDS..." is practically a command and a warning, because he's ready to open fire on you and you'd better be ready for it.
@@karazor-el6085 "Fill your boots" actually was and is still a popular phrase in Ireland and England meaning 'get to work' or 'let's go.' "Fill your hands" was popular but is not so much now.
I was 7, when I went to see True Grit with my Dad. Was always one of my favourite scenes.
@@judgedredd1399 What the living fuck are you blabbering about, you absolute imbecile? I'm American BTW, you twat.
That’s a great memory to have!
A few minutes ago, I watched a video of (supposedly) the ten greatest Western scenes. After seeing that the meadow shootout scene wasn't one of them, I had to go back and watch this one. From 1954 through June 11, 1979, John Wayne was my favorite actor. I met him and got his autograph in 1972. I laminated his autograph the day after he died. I still carry it in my wallet. RIP, John Wayne. The meadow shootout scene is still the best in Western movie history.
I'm not a big John Wayne fan, but I love that line. Seeing the Duke lever-spin the rifle was the entire reason that I viewed this clip.
I am 62, and I still love this film.

An iconic scene. The look on Wayne's face when he hears the 'one-eyed fat man' quip is priceless. The Duke may be riding the range in Heaven now, but he will never be forgotten and will live on through his films.
Way back in the day my grandpa was a young man working as an Elevator Attendant at a hotel in Seattle. John Wayne was staying in the hotel and came into the elevator drunk as a skunk and another guy started talking smack to Wayne. Wayne didn’t take kindly to that and when he cocked back to punch the guy he accidentally caught my grandpa with his elbow and knocked him out. Wayne was so apologetic he gave my Grandpa a $5 bill which was a lot back then. Both are now gone and I have that $5 bill.
Good story...😊😊😊
I grew up where True Grit was filmed. Ate many a picnic in that meadow. Grandfather worked on the ranch where the fence jump was filmed. Uncle served as a livestock wrangle for the film. My dentist repaired Duke's partial plate when it broke and was his personal dentist until the day he died. John is like family to me.
Oregon. I never lived there. But trucked through there for 40 years. Hauling Aluminum out of Portland back east.
@randallcampbell510 Actually a large amount was filmed in the western part of Colorado. The Rooster Cogburn movie are Washington and Oregon
Holy shit John Wayne did that one handed reload thing just like Arnie did in Terminator 2….20 years earlier
I’ve seen so many John Wayne films so many times,this is one of his finest roles,and of course best actor Oscar ,what a legend he was, such screen presence
The shootout will be remembered forever ...John Wanne R.I.P

FILL YOUR HAND YOU SUN OF A BITCH! One of my all time favorite movie lines. A line only John Wayne could deliver so well.
Bronson kinda tried in Death Wish.

There will never be another John Wayne!

You mean a cliched, overacter? 😃 Jeff Bridges does this part far better in the remake.
@@hieverybody4246 John Wayne was not only a bad actor, but a complete piece of trash human being.
@@hieverybody4246 not hardly
For all the John Wayne fans out there, take a trip to the Owl Pass area in Colorado to visit the site where this was filmed. Gave me chills to imagine The Duke had been there with the other cast members of this scene. True Grit was one of my Mom’s favorite movies and she passed that on to me.
The director figured that the people in Arkansas would just think that the scenes filmed in Colorado & elsewhere were just parts of the state that they hadn't seen.
50 years already....if I were to live another 100 years I certainly would see John Wayne's movies again!
69 years old. Wife and I are taking a train trip to Flagstaff this August. Ridgway is 6 hrs. drive from Flagstaff. Have to go see the place where this scene was filmed.
So how was it?
In those John Wayne movies, he was always like a wild stallion. He was not afraid of any other man and he couldn't be tamed.
RIP John Wayne. Ain't no one going to outdo your movies.
John Wayne was a piece of shit. If you want to idolize a real man from that era, go idolize Jimmy Stewart.
AMEN!! You said it !!!❤️💔Sure do miss his wonderful movies !!!🥺😢

John Wayne was a human turd.
Jeff Bridges did😂
An American classic, outstanding 👍👍👍👍
These moments in the film are the memories of a legend. That’s one of the reasons his depiction of the code of the west is always remembered. His films made a time in our past remain with us forever. When we fail today to remember the pride and dignity that it takes to defend the principles of democracy, the films of John Wayne remind us over the many years of his career. Immortal words and visual scenes are burned into our memories. He made an album of how he felt as an American. To hear his voice all these years after his death can still touch your heart. He spoke for unity among all people. He was much loved and admired. He still is today. He wasn’t perfect as a person but it was his film work that’s he’s remembered for. The bill of rights let’s you think of your own opinions and let’s you express them. He was entitled to reflect his life’s attitude drawn from his life’s experiences. Don’t criticize him now because the atmosphere in our country has become so divided. He didn’t do that. We did. The first version of this film used a great musical score, and they filmed in the most beautiful countryside. The director picked memorable locations to film the action scenes of the story. This film would not be as special as it is if it’s supporting elements of photography, music, locations, and supporting cast were not found to be the perfect combination. There were enough great things, memorable moments, beauty that filled the heart and soul, violence, tenderness, and saving each other’s lives, that you didn’t really mind that a few couldn’t act because everybody else was so good. When a movie is called great it’s because of the way the story is told. It was enhanced by supporting elements to make it memorable. When Our three main characters began their journey together they were not United. Our Marshall was still drinking and he was stung by the cutting remarks of the Texas ranger that he couldn’t do his job, in the beginning they were both against the girl coming but the Marshall soon opposed every objection the Texas ranger had, so he ends up siding with the girl which means he will have to work to help her survive. Our Marshall runs out of drink that has an affect on his actions and his judgement. By the time the Marshall rides to meet the gang in the meadow he’s cold sober and remembering his duty. The girl wavers in her confidence in the Marshall to be able to get the job done. But he won’t be shown up by that pup of a ranger. Appearances can be deceiving. Even though the Marshall was older, overweight, a drinker, cynical about life, he stood for the badge he wore. He was as rough, and tough, and dangerous as the outlaws he hunted. His pride could be easily hurt. Watch John Wayne’s face when Ned Pepper calls him a one eyed fat man. His reputation as a rough and tough fearless lawman is threatened. He won’t stand for it. In those days wearing a gun did make you judge and jury. So Judge Parker was right. Rooster started out trying to do what the law wanted. But his pride and dignity were threatened. So he attacked. It made him appear brave and fearless. He warned off the others but rats on a sinking ship don’t leave each other. You will remember how hard it was to shoot at fast moving targets. He had a good heart. You can see that in the efforts he made to save Matties life. There were many moments of unspoken affection. It’s there right at the end. She never forgets the example he set her as a man.
unfortunately the more recent True Grit is a lot better than this first one. Both are good, the second one is a lot better
@@pamtnman1515i respect your opinion but disagree to the very fiber of my being

One actor in the closing years of his career - John Wayne - and the other one rising to stardom - Robert Duvall.
I love "The Duke," my Dad always watched him.
This is one of the only two I took my Dad to the Drive in. The other was Patton.
Love this Eternal scene.
Hello Liz
Timeless...only one Duke....this scene gets in the top 5 of the greatest scenes ever....let em avit waynie
Definitely the best Western shootout maybe.
@@ethanweeter2732 agree
I thought the remake did it far better
@@allofthepoints9636 what???? Are you serious mate? I think you will be in the minority
@@garyteeley8351 well I don’t have any nostalgia for the old one, and the new one is shot more dynamically, has cooler music, I think the actors are more convincing, so I think many will agree with me.
What I love about this scene is when he bites down on the reigns of his horse. It shows that he was one of Quantrill’s Raiders, southern rebels who took up arms when their state was ordered to be “depopulated”. They would go on suicide missions, riding through Union camps guiding their horses using their teeth and pair of 45s. Blowing away anything that moved.
In “The Outlaw Josey Whales” when Whales offers to live in peace with Ten Bears. Ten Bears counters that Whales has nothing to offer him, he already has the land and the cattle. Whales’s response is to bite down on the reigns of his horse and put his hands on his guns…
From across the pond in England, the 'Duke' is my all time favourite actor and True Grit my all time Favourite john Wayne film, i grew up on cowboy films and TV series like Bonanza, The High Chaparral, Rawhide, Gunsmoke was a little to early for me but they showed reruns on UK TV. happy memories.
Watching true grit at the moment,what an immense character he was,absolutely brilliant to watch ,cracking film 🎥
My grandfather gave me a horse when I was 7 years old. I named him Bo, after John Wayne's horse in this movie.
Fill your hand…..is the second best line in the movie.
The best….” By God, she reminds me of me.”
Love how he reloads that gun. Just like Lucas McCain from the Rifleman.
You mean ’Lucas McCain did it just like The Duke’ - who’d been doin’ it since Stagecoach!
Lukas got it from Stagecoach.
we need John Wayne more than ever !!
Oh Lord that's a great scene, gives me chills!
The Coen brothers said they followed the Charles Portis 1968 novel, only, but, the 2010 and 1969 dialogue of this gunfight are identical. The difference is in the characters' actions. The Duke carries a rifle and a gun, and cocks the rifle with one hand. He also shot 2 antagonists in the back, and was attempting to reach for his gun when trapped under his horse. This is more realistic than the 2010 version, in which bridges shoots them both with pistols, and just lies there and waits to be shot. But, there was more suspense before the final sniper shot in the 2010 version.
Robert Duvall was so young. Another legend who's time is ticking down.
The Duke!
The real American.
Greetings from Germany!
After 50 years this scene still gives me chills. In my opinion one The greatest scenes in American Cinema. Only the Duke could pull it off like this. :-)
Jeff Bridges did better
@@dookeland8 wash your mouth out 🤣
@@dookeland8 not even close and I like Jeff Bridges.
@@Elite59 John Wayne played John Wayne, Jeff bridges played rooster cogburn
@@dookeland8 John Wayne won an Oscar for playing Rooster Cogburn.
Classic my grandad watched this all time ...
Deb’s Meadow out side of Ridgway. Ranch scene off Route 58. Note the white pickup blasting by on the road. Great job of editing. The ranch house is now being restored.
That was one one of the classic and best joined wayne scenes.
My dad took me to see this when I was 11. The film premiered June 11 1969. Wayne died exactly 10 years later, June 11 1979m
Great film. Never tire of watching it. A true classic.
He pulled that rifle out like
I am the Duke.
There will never ever be a cowboy like The Duke! My favourite!
I'm a diehard JW fan. Went to all his movies with my dad as a kid. There is not one of movies I didn't enjoy...but as a 75yrs old my absolute favorite is The Cowboys...perfectly cast and acted, by all including the boys who probably didn't realize at the time what a privilege it was for rhem to act with JW
I watched that film for the first time when I was 8 years old. I sobbed like a baby at the ending, and told my Dad I would never watch it again, because Duke was never supposed to die! I didn't watch it again until many years later!
I have the same feeling today as I did the first time I saw True Grit. John Wayne was, and still is, the only one that could make this scene believable. RIP Duke.
My father "was" John Wayne. He was a gunsmith for 40 years, hunted all over North America, and trained me to have true grit and how to be a man. These movies make me feel close to him.
“I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned, or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience. Which’ll it be?”
You can’t beat people like this. Nope.
Just FYI, I see a lot of people referencing the Coen Brothers True Grit at a remake of this movie. It was not, they Coen Brother's used the original novel to write their script, so the reason the dialogue is the same in much of the movie, is because both movies lifted much of the dialogue straight out of the novel. The Charles Porter novel is a classic, if you have no read it.
Gotta love the special lever action rifle he swings around to reload with one hand!
That will always be the best western shootout scene ever!
Between John Wayne here, and Gary Cooper in High Noon...BEST SHOOTOUTS EVER !!
I saw John Wayne's Oscar at Paramount yrs ago. My brother worked there for years as a grip and dolly grip
I loved this movie.
In school in the 90s we read the book then watched this film still enjoy this flick!
Still gives me goosebumps.
I'm 64 years old and John Wayne was my hero. Along with Chuck Connors, Roy Rogers, and a few others. Great scene, a great movie. And the remake was actually good!
A legend performing a legend of his own legend, Great scene again 👍🇺🇲
I moved to monrovia ca in 1973 at 13 been here since. Loved this movie the shootist and the cowboys to mention a few.
Now, THAT'S A MAN...!!! No one can touch Mr. John Wayne....
John Wayne " Chuck Norris??? Never heard of her. "
Barry Pepper was great as Ned Pepper. He sounded exactly like the character in the original.
Have set foot on that very meadow, in front of that very Chimney Rock and the very rock the Duke falls by in Colorado... it was quite water-logged in late May of 2018.
It's not easy to get to, but surely worth it... hallowed ground for western fans the world over, and I spent 40 years in HOLLYWOOD and never got to work on a single western movie.
Great presentation tribute!
As a Side Bar. Among the tsa la gee people (Cherokee) of the Indian Nation. Where this took place. A Turkey Gobble was always a call to all warriors to battle. This explains the chuckle among the outlaws. This movie is spot on in so many ways. And one of my all-time favorites.
No way. I love❤ this iconic American tale of home of the brave land of the free and its about love. I always cry if i see the whole movie.
The OG terminator spin
I love stopping for a picnic in Debbie's Meadow there when I pass through. It's between Ridgway and the top of Owl Creek pass.
My favorite scene was the dugout. Jeremy Slate and Dennis Hopper were great in that scene. John Wayne gave so many actors their jump it was astounding.
Still the best scene in a western ever,
The ending of for a few dollars more is arguably better
I would argue 75% of Tombstone scenes deserve top 10
@@RK9th when the music starts after Clint gives Mortimer his gun I get goosebumps
@@RK9th Nope, nothing tops this and I’m a Clint fan.
@@jmccOutdoors I hated Tombstone as a western. It was full of lies.
They created a remake of True Grit, but no one outdoes John Wayne. Not in 1000 years. The old True Grit movie was my dad's favorite, and mine too ever since the first time we saw it.
The remake is pretty good for the most part. More realistic too.
@@alucard624 I didn’t like the remake outside of Maddie. I couldn’t understand anything Rooster said & I’m a huge Jeff Bridges fan. Wayne’s True Grit is my favorite.
The remake was good, but there is only one Duke!
It's fashionable in some quarters to sneer at Wayne, but he will be remembered long after the 'right on' actors of today are forgotten.
I also did not like the re-make. There was no point to remaking a masterpiece……
If I may barrow a line from another great western “when you need to shoot, shoot don’t talk.”
Tuco...love it!

Money well spent both times, Donnie Osmond.
I saw this on a pay tv at the Airport in Okinawa, in Japanese. "Fill your hands your hands you son of a bitch" in Japanese was the funniest thing I have ever seen.
They don’t make movies like this anymore 😞
@@Ben-pd2bx and the new one is better.
@@MrChickennugget360 I beg to differ. the new one just doesnt have that epic feel, or the duke.
@@paulmatthews463 To me it definitely had an epic and a much more down-to-earth feel. I also see it as a plus that it didn't have John Wayne in it, he never really was much of an actor. Also the soundtrack in the 1969 version is a bit too cheesy/hollywood to my tastes..
I cried when the Duke passed away. I have a good collection of his movies that I watch every chance I get. "Fill your hands you son of b____." R.I.P. John Wayne.
My own Grandfather passed away 10 June 1979. We buried him on the 12th. That evening, we learned John Wayne had died. I felt like I lost another Grandpa. I was 12.
That year was a terrible year for me. I did lose both my Grandfathers, one Grandmother, my Sister, and my idol; John Wayne. It was one of the worst years of my life.
even in 2021, i still love those films, classic actors ...........wayne..........peck.........jimmy stewart........... flynn etc...........age 83 .....i can appreciate good movies and excellent actors from long ago..........h6...........ukvet................and a very young Robert Duvall..............
Awesome ending still preserved 😎
I remember watching true grit xmas day with my da many moons ago just class 👍
For me as a kid this was it 4 against 1 the ultimate shootout…💕🙏🏻
John Wayne was the best, bigger than life and true to his character!
Top three best Westerns ever made. The Magnificent Seven, True Grit, and Lonesome Dove
The final shootout scene in a meadow on Owl Creek pass about 10 miles East of Ridgway is on a road that leads into the Silverjack valley. My wife and I have been going there since 1979. Easily the most beautiful camping area in Colorado. When watching that first True Grit movie they had Rooster leading the Texas Ranger and Maddie through an Aspen forest. I knew immediately that "this movie wasn't filmed in Arkansas!
I've been to the meadow. I spent the better part of an afternoon there. It was a surreal feeling. Every John Wayne fan should go.
The first rifle flip reload and the music get me everytime
This was and is a great movie. The remake, though, was excellent, too. It was also more in line with the novel. Both are fantastic.
I was raised on John Wayne, both of my sons are named after him. 25 and 22 years old. God forbid what mythical creature they will name their own after.
One of the best movies ever.
this was my very first John Wayne film
Nothing infamous about this scene. It's John Waynes greatest ever
The entire scene is done massively better in the remake. This version just seems extremely silly in retrospect.
Awesome scene.
One of the most memorable ever filmed.
Now This is an action scene!!
My favorite John Wayne seen of all time
A brilliant film. Sensational actors but John was the best.
Great film and the music suits,fab
FANTASTIC SCENE!
Best line in the movie is actually, “True Grit, Rooster Cogburn? Not much!”
THAT WAS ROOSTER FROM TOP GUN Maverick GREAT GREAT GRAND FATHER
Planning to go down to that True Grit country again in late September of this year. Have been there in the past, but not in the Fall (when this was shot). I've visited all the filming locations of True Grit in Colorado. I plan to do the Last Dollar Road where Mattie's farm scene was, as well as Owl Creek Pass, where the shootout was filmed in Deb's Meadow and the pass location itself, where they camped for the night. This will probably be my last trip down to True Grit country in my life. I'm looking forward to it.
John Wayne is Immortal in my family
Only about a million times better than the Cohen Brothers remake.
One of my all time favorites. Jeff Bridges although a good actor couldn't touch The Duke. John Wayne played Rooster to a tee. Gave off the impression that he actually WAS that man. Plus Strother Martin as Stonehill, and of course Glenn Campbell as LaBeouf. Perfect
Für mich einer seiner besten Filme !!! 🙋😇🥃♥️♥️♥️
John wayne is my HERO 😍
"Which'll it be?" Is it really 50 years? Then I been sayin that for 50 years then since hearing it in this, probably the greatest thing JW ever did. See, it's the way he says it. Matter of fact like.
Ikr. Like it's no doubt. Ned, you're going down. Just a matter of when and where.
John Wayne... so great that no one pays much attention to the great Robert Duvall [Ned Pepper]. This is one of the finest Western scenes of all time. "Fill your hands, you Son-of-a-bitch!"...too classic, too good.
I'm here just for Duvall. Great work from both actors though.
In my humble opinion the John Wayne version of this scene far surpasses the later Jeff Bridges version.
