QUESTION: How many movies did John Wayne die in? ANSWER: John Wayne died in 8 films for sure, and a further three, depending on how you want to look at it. "Central Airport"(1933) He was one of two men seen floundering in the sea at night after their plane had crashed. "Reap the Wild Wind"(1942) He is trapped inside the wreck of a sunken ship after a fight with a giant squid and drowns. "The Fighting Seabees"(1944) He is shot by a sniper as he attempts to dismount from a bulldozer loaded with TNT aimed at a fuel depot. "Wake of the Red Witch"(1949) He drowns when the sunken ship he is trying to salvage shifts and drops further into the ocean, carrying him with it. "The Sands of Iwo Jima"(1949) He was shot by a sniper at the end. "The Alamo"(1960) He played Davy Crocket, so he must have died in that one. "The Cowboys"(1972) He was shot in the back by Bruce Dern.  "The Shootist"(1976) He died in a gun fight rather than dying of cancer. He was already dead at the start of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"(1962), and most of the film is a flashback to when he was alive. In "The Deceiver"(1931), Wayne had an uncredited role as a dead body. In "The Sea Chase"(1955), it is left to the audience to decide whether or not he died. The romantic among us like to think that he and Lana Turner were able to escape from the sinking ship at the end of the film, but it is not made clear. wiki.answers.com |
