It Shouldn't Have Taken Four Of You

I still loved how later in the movie Mississippi managed to miss his target with a sawn-off double-barrel shotgun.

Mexican bitches aren't happening. And when you start in about me lying about being gay, I'm just going to explain how I'm not accountable to you again.

Oh shit. Daaammmnn!

"You with the hat." In a room full of cowboys wearing hats. 😂

When the knife brings itself to the gunfight...

Howard Hawks like the story so much, he made into a movie 3 times with John Wayne: Rio Bravo; El Dorado; and Rio Lobo.

My favourite actor ever.

Christopher George looks a lot cooler sitting in a Jeep with a ma deuce on the back.

I love how people in movies die as soon as a weapon touches them. That knife penetrated the lower left portion of the rib cage. The thrower was damn lucky to have it go, apparently, in between the man's ribs. The organs inside the rib age are well protected by it. That's why it's called a cage! But at the place where the knife penetrated the man, it might have pierced the bottom of his left lung, but there's not much else there that could cause death. Certainly not instantaneous death as depicted here. Oh, the man might have bled out, eventually, if that's all the kid in the black hat did. But in reality, to kill a man, you would need to throw the blade and hope it hits a vital spot, then jump him, pull the blade out and stick it back in a much more lethal spot. His carotid artery or straight into his heart, perhaps. Then the man would be dead. The result of this knife throw would leave the man wounded and probably in pain, but there's no way he would have died that quickly!

Rest in peace, Charlie Higgins.

A fantastic scene, but I'll be honest, about the only decent scene in the movie.

One hell of a classic movie

I have an idea for a remake of this film, and in fact i tried to pitch it to a film company online but it turned out to be one of those programs that you have to pay to get a chance, no way. My remake would have some differences in plot, primarily in the end.

Christopher George's character was so great, he actually sided with Mississippi.

Yeah, Charlie stand up.....OK fall down. These are very obedient henchman!

Entertaining watchable film. Could do without the 'Injun fighter' stuff and that James Cahn 'Chinese' immitation. Great theme music, the poetry verses add an accent to the characters and I you can't beat the 'off the wall 'shotgun Mares Leg' Cahn aquires.

El Dorado?

Don't you just love Hollywood, where a guy takes a knife to the chest and just stops living immediately

Charlie was dead as soon as James said it shouldn't have taken four of them. He was on his own at that point.

An important lesson here too. You might think you have the drop on a guy with a knife if you're holding the gun, but keep in mind that he might just be able to throw it very well...

Good theater, but not very realistic. A stab even to the heart is a long way from a no reflex kill. Guy could have, should have put all six rounds into him before he went down

"It shouldn't have taken four of you." -that's what she said

They don’t make em like that anymore do they fellas?

What made McCloud a great character is that yes he was the bad guy but he was not evil. Unlike the villains in the other Rio movies he was not sadistic and would not hurt someone for the saking of hurting someone. You could tell he had nothing for contempt for Bart Jason and when Mitchum rifle whips him,he is actually smiling.

Good old fashioned entertainment I miss those times. 👍

Those guys at the table sure didn't think much of Charlie

I’m really pissed that I didn’t realize for YEARS that Mississippi and Buddy’s. Dad are the same person. If I had known that then I would’ve looked into what I could do to meet him because I’ll never have the chance to meet John Wayne but I want to meet anybody that I still care that has a chance to work with them. I would love to meet Bruce Dern but I doubt that’s gonna happen and I am seriously running out of Time. Plus from what I’ve heard he really hates when people bring up the fact that he’s the SOB that killed John Wayne and shot him in the back despite the fact that John Wayne did warn him that if you go through with this, you will be known as the SOP that shot John way to the back for the rest of your life.

Any reason why that young man from the east is wearing leather chaps like a man working herd in heavy brush?

Love the Batman style music of this movie.

Yea. Like, a knife can kill stone dead!??

There aren't movies like this anymore , that a father can take his son to .

This was probably my favorite moment in the film, primarily because of McLoud siding with Mississippi on the fact that Charlie was very much in the wrong.

El Dorado! One of the greatest John Wayne movies

.... he brought a knife to a gun fight?

John Wayne - America's # 2 asshole. Asshole # 1 is, of course, Donald "The wig" Trump.

rio lobo,the second time remake of Rio Bravo

“I’m curious to see how he does this, and it really shouldn’t have taken four of you.”. Great lines written for another one of JW’s best. And James Caan was special in this one, and you can see he was going to be special for years to come.

Elf's dad in a knife fight.

The bitch%rat calling the name princey:period

Stand up junky

Christopher George (1929-1983) as the leader of the gang, great actor, later died of heart failure.

The type of movie they don't make anymore, one for mature men.
And with VERY rare exceptions I haven't seen a decent Western since John Wayne died, the Duke understood the genre better than anyone else.

Good movie. The soundtrack was disappointing. Nelson Riddle. Felt I was watching a long episode of Batman.

I love John Wayne films and I am 34 years old. El Dorado is one of my top favorites.

The bad guy had his standers and was not to Happy to hear that it took 4 men to kill one old man.

The more I watch this movie, the more interested I get in McLeod. He's a major antagonist in the film, but not really a villain.
He's a gun for hire with no scruples about who he goes to work for. But he still has a code of honor of some kind. But what's most fascinating is his fatalism. He knows and accepts that his career can only end one way, and even at the end of the movie he's completely unfazed by his defeat, even AMUSED by it.

This movie > Rio Bravo
