Another great yarn I've seen these movies once if not twice and I'm surprised to see so few comments is thought whith so many western lovers there would be more thankyou for bringing so many memories of the good old days ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These lone star productions are some of my favorite john wayne movies. There is just something about them and the way they are done makes one feel as though you could have been there.
Yeah, for me they seem to have a "feel good" quality to them that makes me watch them often. No telling how many times I have watched most of these John Wayne/Gabby Hayes flicks from the 1930s.
Yakima Canutt as an Indian.... Man, they were really straining on this one. This is the 12th one of these 1930s John Wayne movies I have watched in the last two weeks. Yakima is much more convincing as a bad guy than an Indian. And Gabby Hayes with no beard. That is new, too! And he's the bad guy! What a hoot! :)
I'm in my mid 40s and loved western movies since I was a teenager ❤ John Wayne tom mix etc but I'd love it if you could show some Jimmy Stewart cowboy movies I adore him as a cowboy very much underrated star of the western world of movies ❤ Tess
Wayne definitely became a better actor in the 40s but this younger time was his horse training with Yakima being the expert stuntman rider. Yakima apparently created the not exactly humane horse tripping stunt, pretty brutal on those fast moving horses, some being injured and having to be put down. Read about Yakima on Wikipedia, pretty tough dude!
Story time: Many, many years ago, I met an old cowboy in western Washington that worked in the b-western in the mid to later part of the 30's and he rode a few horses with trip wires or into trip pits. He showed me a display in his den and it had an old beat up saddle, cinch with a figure 8 ring, and the hobbles for the horse's front legs and said this was his stunt horse gear. He showed me how to rig the horse to throw it with one front leg or both front legs. They also did once in a great while do four leg horse throws. For throwing a horse with all four legs, a wire would be wrapped around a trailer hitch on a truck to the figure 8 ring and all four legs. The driver would let out the clutch. The rider knows whats coming. As for the horse, it gets a big surprise - it goes straight down quickly and brutally. Then he started telling me a couple of stories about himself and a couple of other riders. It was dangerous work - near misses were common. There was no insurance and the men were on their own for medical care. As for the stunts, he called them gags, he usually got an extra 5 to 8 dollars and some whiskey to ride the horse falls. His description was blood chilling. He told me that as the horse's head hit the ground and he went sailing over the horses head, he could often hear the horse's bones snap / break and the horse's screams would dig into his memory. Many a time, he would know if the horse was dead before he stood up or turned around and looked at the horse. He figured that he rode 30 to 35 horse falls before he moved on and half of them were severly crippled or killed. The stunt horses that could be ridden again, were rigged and ridden down in the next few days. He basically said too bad horses, its a job. He said that once in awhile he would dream about riding one of the stunt horses and could still hear the animal's death scream. He said he worked the b-western for a couple of years and then moved on.
That is a tale of misery. I often wonder how the horses faired on those falls and the men too not only in the horse trips but when the good guy pulls the bad guy off a speeding horse. Tough dudes, horses had no say in the script. I wonder what the real old west chases were like. Whats that Hollywood line”Thats entertainment”.
We see this is several of the 1930s Wayne movies. They have telephones, flashlights, cars and pretty large trains. Some had planes and machine guns. These were made in the 1930s, so must have been set no further back than the 1920s.

having a good and pleasant time watching this old Jphn Wayne 's film 👏
I love these old westerns i can watch them over and over thx for bringing them to us it's really appreciated 👍
This is one of my favorite B Westerns that Wayne did
Yakima Canutt was a top champion of horse riding
One of the best of John Wayne's early westerns

Enjjoyable film. This must have been before John Wayne got his strut. I'm an old man and love old westerns.
yeah, he didn't get the strut til some years after these flicks.

Muy buena película, me hacen regresar al pasado recordando mi juventud. Gracias por compartir, saludos desde Perú.
Great movie
Love westerns, and this is no exception. England, August, 2024.
The tall steel power line tower on the far ridge behind Wayne and Yakima as they glass the villains at the ranch > Can't get better'n that!
Gabby looks so young in this movie
GREAT 👍
Wayne's horse keeps changing colors.
No..... He switched horses with Yak one time. The rest of the film he is riding his white one.
A lot of the movies today are unwatchable, no story, highly propagandised, too far fetched. These kind of movies are more for my liking.

Nice
I like John Wayne and his movies
Excellent
Assistia antes do filme principal. São o máximo. Era sucesso de bilheteria
😂nice fun
I wonder year this movie was supposed to be set in, as the flashlight was not invented until 1899 .
The writer needed the flashlite to keep the story moving.
We see this is several of the 1930s Wayne movies. They have telephones, flashlights, cars and pretty large trains. Some had planes and machine guns. These were made in the 1930s, so must have been set no further back than the 1920s.
Forget to say: what happened to Gabby Hayes?
he made more movies. then he died. just like everyone else.
and the maxim machine gun was invented in 1884...
Love these John Wayne movies, but he took that shotgun and he’s responsible for everyone that died on that stage
