Fun fact: Rio Lobo was made because Robert Mitchum was angry that he didn't play in Rio Bravo! So...Howard Hawks and John Wayne agreed to make Mitchum happy!
This is from a TV documentary, "Shoot-Out at Rio Lobo." George Plympton was an author who had researched a book on the Detroit Tigers by actually playing one of their linemen. He then contacted Howard Hawks to get the bit part in Rio Lobo. He also researched the life of a stand-up comedian by consulting with different comics on how to tell jokes.
🎥 de western sempre bom, deveria ter mais na atualidade, mas os antigos é melhor porque é mais natural e tem uma trilha sonora ótima e um som de fundo, no decorrer das cenas
Duke always gave a mug to people who worked on movies with him.On one side, it would say, "To ____ from Duke," with the person's name, and on the other side would be the name of the movie. Chuck Roberson had more than thirty of them because he "doubled" for Duke and had small roles in his pictures for over 20 years. I've seen his "bit" in The Searchers, along with "good Chuck." He was nicknamed "bad Chuck" to differentiate him from Chuck Howard, because he got the reputation as a "womanizer"
This is from one of a series of hour-long TV specials writer George Plimpton did in the early 1970s, "Plimpton! Shoot-out at Rio Lobo." It aired in December 1970 on ABC.
Interresting thar JW is the one who gives instructions in how to hold a gun, talking about things that the civilized Howard Hawks never knew at thing about.
Rio Bravo. Starring John Wayne Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson and Angie Dickinson. Great Movie but in my opinion the 2 BEST John Wayne westerns are ...El Dorado and ...Chisum. :)
I have to disagree. She was poorly directed. Each actress or actor needs different directing. All she needed was a little coaching and she would have come off better is some of those scenes. Mainly I would have told her to start by being herself instead of trying to be a character. It's always a good place to start to get a player comfortable with the set and the scene. Then vary her demands slightly from there. It works most every time.
It's funny; I always concur with most of the criticism of this movie but I always enjoy this flick. I like the intro tremendously, and then the transition from Civil War to Mexican border-type surrounding that match the intro is well done. After that, the unknown actors hurt, especially Jorge Rivero and the 3 babes. Oddly, Mike Henry was left as chief villain and they didn't want to let Victor French (a better actor) develop as the heavy for some reason and he comes off useless as the villain.
George Plimpton was famous for what he participated in: among some crazy things -- he "fought" former light-heavyweight champion Archie Moore in a boxing match. Plimpton wanted to "taste" what it was like to be in the ring with a pro. And yes, then he wrote about it...with accuracy. The man experienced everything first hand that he wrote about. They didn't waste any emulsion on Plimpton. Do you really think a John Wayne would allow it? Also, Plimpton was one of three men who wrestled the gun away from Sirhan Sirhan when Robert Kennedy was shot. Football player Roosevelt Grier & decathlete Rafer Johnson were the others. Plimpton was actually quite a special man -- being a terrible actor had little or nothing to do with why he was in Rio Lobo.
He was a writer, and a good one. He was famous for sharing his experiences, which led to some of his books. Do your research before you say something as stupid as what you typed.
Howard Hawks is so overlooked. IMO he's one of the greatest directors of all time.
His filmography is one of the top 10 on the planet
Overlooked by who ? are you new on planet earth??? 🤔 Howard Hawks and Billy Wilder the kings amongst kings 🤴 👏🏼

Most older Movie fans know that Howard Hawks was a master director especially of Classic Westerns.

What a great video clip....Thank you!!!
Weird how people hate on this one. It' my favorite John Wayne movie.
One mine too
Hawks also produced perhaps the greatest sci/fi movie of all time, "The Thing from Another World". With James Arness
Watched this movie couple dozen times since my youth and.never realized George Plimpton had a part in the movie.
Same here.
and of course, Duke Wayne couldn't have been more gracious.
This was the best ERA the Golden Era. It's garbage that they make nowadays

Interresting thar JW is the one who gives instructions in how to hold a gun, talking about things that the civilized Howard Hawks never knew at thing about.
Fun fact when John Wayne’s in the Sheriffs office one of the wanted posters is for Hondo Lane and the picture looks like John Wayne!

Hello, Good Leadership. seed side What's your opinion about that
Jennifer O'Neill--terrible actress. Howard Hawks probably had designs on her. Typical of him.
I have to disagree. She was poorly directed. Each actress or actor needs different directing. All she needed was a little coaching and she would have come off better is some of those scenes. Mainly I would have told her to start by being herself instead of trying to be a character. It's always a good place to start to get a player comfortable with the set and the scene.

Im going on white

Hawks said himself that the film was no good.
Rio Lobo was terrible. Hawks was too old to get decent performances from the younger members of the cast.
It was pretty good.
George Plimpton--another terrible actor. Why waste photographic emulsion on him?
+MrShobar
George did a lot of stuff like this, then he wrote about it.

I am aware he was a writer, And an over-rated one. Now get back to work on that GED.
Publisher turned you down, eh?
