Hi Colorado Bob,

Hi Senta,
How many have I seen? Well, I have 147 John Wayne films in my collection, and I've seen all of them at least once, most more than that, plus a few dozen documentaries, TV shows, Specials, etc..., so not counting them, I'd have to say 147. My family says I need to get a life!
Colorado Bob

Senta, don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I tried the quiz and I did not get any of the ones I answered correct. :headbonk: I might try the quiz again after I take a cruise through the IMDB site.

Well I just found this thread and I for one would definitely be interested in another trivia quiz. I actually was able to answer most of the ones here.

Howdy gt12pak,
Glad you enjoyed it. I'll squeeze my brain cells and see if I can't come up with a few more questions for y'all. Just give me a couple of days.
Best Always,
Colorado Bob

ALRIGHT! Let's have some more!
Cheers - Jay:beer:

Thanks Jay. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one here who would be interested in this.

Here's a suggestion - do it something like dukefan1's What's on TV? feature, posting it and then folks PM the answer(s) so that everyone has an equal chance to answer, and after a week, you post the correct answers, and the names of those who got them right, if you want to.

Chester :newyear:

It Is a great idea! I like it.

Senta

Yes, sounds a Great Idea

It seems like there was some interest in doing this, but I know Colorado Bob is a pretty busy guy, so I don't think he'd mind if I revive this thread.

In order to give everyone an equal chance to get credit for knowing their John Wayne trivia, I'd like to use the same model that dukefan1 has used in the What's on TV? thread. Those who want to play can PM me with your answers, and in a week I'll post the correct answers and the names of those who got it right.

Here's the first question -

John Wayne generally wore a cowboy hat in most of his westerns, but donned a coonskin cap in a number of his films. Name four.

Chester :newyear:

Are you kidding? Alright I'll PM you the answers.

Cheers :cool:

Hi Chester

Its probably my lack of knowledge on this subject but I was always pretty certain he only wore this type of hat in three movies, can you confirm that there are at least four movies in which he wears this type of hat?

:agent:

In a word . . . yes. :wink_smile: All four titles are available (although I can't say with certainty that they are available in all regions).


Chester :newyear:

Just wanted to (bump) this back up, since this is the weekend, to give y'all an opportunity to see that we are trying a weekly trivia quiz.and give you a chance to play.

Thanks for that, I'm pretty sure you have me stumped on this question but I will nevertheless have a stab in the dark.

Well I sent my answer. Only timec will tell.

I thought I should offer this hint - in one of the four titles, he doesn't wear a coonskin cap throughout the movie, but he is definitely seen in that same movie with a coonskin cap at one point in the movie.

Chester :newyear:

Hi Chester

When do we have to have our answers in by?

:agent:

I posted the question on Friday morning, and I was figuring I could put up the answer in a week, next Friday morning. That would give folks time to research or watch movies, if they want to. But I am open to suggestions - none of this is cast in stone.

Chester :newyear:

Re: John Wayne Trivia
Just wanted to (bump) this back up, since Friday is coming soon, to give y'all an opportunity to play. So far, four folks have sent answers, and. they have each gotten three out of four correct. Back to the resource books and movies. :wink_smile: Don't give up!

Howdy, y'all!

I apologize for getting back to this a little late. Been dealing with some stuff around home that is rather time-consuming. Anyway, just as a reminder


Here's the first question -

John Wayne generally wore a cowboy hat in most of his westerns, but donned a coonskin cap in a number of his films. Name four.
Four people ventured out on this, and each one got three of the four films, which were

The Big Trail
Allegheny Uprising
The Fighting Kentuckian
The Alamo

The Big Trail was the one that no one guessed. Quite frankly, we had to watch it again to confirm that Duke wore a coonskin cap in it, as every picture we found showed him in a regular hat. However, in a flashback scene in the movie, he is indeed wearing a coonskin cap.

Thanks to Hondo Duke Lane, arthurarnell, wbbison, and Robbie for playing this first game!!

Now, for the second question -

In what film did Duke co-star with two single-named actors, in what year did the film's story take place, and where (location) in the movie did he meet his leading lady?

Don't forget to PM the answer to me by next Sunday morning (I want to give everybody a week to answer; I'll eventually figure out if one day of the week works out better for me than another).

Have fun!

Chester :newyear:

Now, for the second question -

In what film did Duke co-star with two single-named actors, in what year did the film's story take place, and where (location) in the movie did he meet his leading lady?Here are the answers to last week's question -
The film was North Alaska.
His single-named co-stars were teen idol Fabian and French actress Capucine.
The story takes place in 1900, during the Alaska gold rush.
He met Michelle/Angel (played by Capucine) in a dance hall/bordello in Seattle.

Of the three responses, one person got all four parts correct, and that was dukefan1!

Way to go, Mark!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~


Here's question number three -

John Wayne was responsible for recommending James Arness for the role of Marshall Matt Dillon in TV's Gunsmoke.
Name the John Wayne movies in which James Arness appeared with Duke.

I guess I owe you guys an apology. I started this post last Monday, and somehow never hit the "Submit reply" button - got sidetracked somehow.

Anyway, the answers to the above question are:

Big Jim McLain (1952)

Hondo (1953)

Island in the Sky (1953)

The Sea Chase (1955)

Of the five response received, all five were correct. Congratulations to gt12pak, dukefan1, H.sanada, Jay J. Foraker, and ralphper, and thanks for playing!
