I still can't watch the final fight between Wayne and Bruce Dern, especially when the latter starts shooting the former.
Years ago on The Tonight Show, Dern talked about the filming of this scene and how roughed-up he got by Wayne.
He said something like "I'm 6-2 but I only weigh 165 pounds. Wayne's 6-4 and weighed like 265 at the time, and he threw me all over the place. Hurt my back so bad I had to start seeing a chiropractor."
Dern also said after one take of the scene where he shoots Wayne over and over, he and Duke were sitting in their chairs waiting for the lights or something to be rest, and Wayne said to him, "When this (picture) comes out, they're gonna hate yooouuuu."
Meaning the fans would hate Dern for so viciously beating up/killing Wayne. And Dern played meanies so well.

The Sands of Iwo Jima Wake of the Red Witch The Fighting Seabees The Shootist and of course, The Alamo I see! Maybe I got it wrong because recently I saw Bruce Dern´s daughter talking about that scene on TV (or on the net) and about how her dad shot John Wayne... |

Bruce Dern is a guy you just love to hate.
He did however, play a sympathetic father-figure in Billy-Bob Thornton's film ASTRONAUT FARMER. How about that? Dern got to play against two Davy Crocketts.

In all the movies I've ever seen with Dern (and there haven't been many), I don't once recall ever seeing him play a good guy...
