- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Jake McCandles (John Wayne) enters a vile den of killers...
...to pay the million-dollar ransom for his kidnapped grandson.
Their leader (Richard Boone) issues a stern warning.
Jake counters with a warning of his own.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
The Duke and Richard Boone made this scene so great! I remember watching this when I was just a pup, and have been a John Wayne fan ever since... 50 some odd years later....
This one of my favorite John Wayne scenes. It's also a good way to negotiate from a position of weakness. Make sure the other negotiator knows that even if his side wins, he personally will lose.
But… “Fill your hand, you sonofabitch!” Gotta be the best right?
Damn skippy! Make it clear to the leaders of your enemies, they may win, but they won't be able to celebrate their victory! Make it clear, make it personal and be ready to make it happen!
This movie and the Cowboys
Classics!
Basically, it's not negotiating.
It's him saying "You fcced up. How big of a fcc up....is now up to you to decide. Give the guy the answer to his question"
John Wayne was a big cheerleader for war but he was too cowardly to serve...
BIG JAKE has always been one of my favorite John Wayne movies.
They only appeared together a few minutes in this movie, but when they did the result was fantastic! These two produced some unforgettable entertainment.
The same can be said about these two in The Shootist
Correct.
The way Jake turns the bad guy's psychology against him...brilliant.
it's a pin dropping moment when Boone issues that threat to Wayne. When Wayne repeats it, it just doesn't have the same sting.
@@WintersWar I don't think so.
John Fain knew that things were about to go wrong but he didn't really figure on just how badly they would get.
It's that moment when Richard Boone's character realizes that he's run into a man as ruthless and capable of violence as he is. He was thinking he was dealing with sheep but found that a wolf had come calling.
@Brad1980 I admire many of Wayne's roles, but when a weak spot emerges, I identify it the way I see it. Many cannot bring themselves to ever criticize performers they may revere.
Possibly THE best scene. Makes the hair stand up on me. This is when movies were made instead of the overproduced garbage that is out now trying to push the envelope on everything. This is right to the point and chilling. Love the Duke
I love that scene and the way he parrots the line to Richard Boone's character. One of the best John Wayne lines ever.
richard boone was a great villain too.....no modern movie can ever equal what John Wayne delivered......i was lucky to be alive and see his movies as they came out in his best years
This is my FAVORITE movie of all time. This scene is perfection.
This IS the #1 John Wayne scene, period. I remember seeing this movie when I was about 10, and still use THE line, ‘your fault, my fault, no one’s fault’ to this day (+50 years).
We're about the same age. I saw this at the drive-in at 8. The line you reference is truly one of the great screen rants of all-time. The scene is definitely in my JW Top Ten, but probably not #1. The Horseback Duel in True Grit, the brawl with Will Danaher (sp?) from The Quiet Man, bringing Debbie home in The Searchers, the clay side fight from McClintock to name a few.
Fill your hand you son of a bitch @@doc_adams8506
Some of the best lines in all of cinema. Nobody who saw this movie and heard this dialogue ever forgot it.
This is one of my favorite John Wayne movies, and it's easily my favorite from the later part of his career. This scene is great too, and I love the quiet menace John Wayne exudes as he lets the bad guy know that if comes down to it, he'll blow him away, and do it with a smile on his face.
I love the last scene with Richard Boone as well. After he knows he has lost, and picked a fight with the wrong man.... but has to ask who beat him. That same "Jacob McCandles....... I thought you were dead....." such a great movie!
Not Hardly
Big Jim Burk played “Trooper”- the guy that took the kick from the mule. Learned a lot from him when I was younger. He loved John Wayne and enjoyed working for him.
Got kicked by a mule once and I'm here to say I did not get right up. Trooper must have been one bad ass man haha
Fantastic scene! Richard Boone had immense presence and credibility in his acting! Blessings.
Q
Excellent in hombre as well.
@@chrisclarke6344 Absolutely!
Boone was a great actor, best playing villains but he was really great playing Chuck Heston's bodyguard in The War Lord.
@@eddie12454 Thank you for your reply. I completely agree however, I have never seen that particular film. I will look it up! My very best wishes to you and your Family.
I only wish it was about three minutes longer! Hands down my all time favorite scene with John Wayne! Thanks for sharing!
Richard Boone came across as a real mean tough guy. I always thought the better the villain the better the hero. Great scene
I loved the way Richard boone played that last scene. He had the look of a man who knew he had no chance. He gambled big time on john waynes character wanting to keep the boy alive over killing them.
We miss you 'John Wayne' and the great American principles you stood for, sir.
That’s for DAMN sure!
100% agree such a good man sadly missed 🤔
I had this as a ringtone for one of the Best men I’ve ever known. Still gives me chills when I hear it.
The great Richard Boone , one of my all time favorites.
"I killed a bar over thar"
@@rustyrussell2537 H
Top 3 western all time for me. Boone and Wayne were amazing in their few minutes together on the screen.
Boone was a great actor. Very natural in delivery. If you haven't already, check him out in Hombre with Paul Newman. He's basically playing the same character but he's fantastic.
This scene makes the movie!!! And the dialogue between John Wayne and Richard Boone makes my spine shiver!!! It is simply amazing!!! The look on Richard Boone’s face from pure giddiness to “Oh Shit!!!” when he realizes what is actually in the chest is priceless!!! That look conveyed so much!!! I just love it!!!
I’ve watched this scene countless of times, and yet the thrill and excitement has never diminished!!!
By the way, to the owner of this channel: this series of John Wayne’s Coolest Scenes has been most entertaining!!! Much thanks for sharing it!!! ☮️🖖🏽
Damn, The Duke! I could spend a whole day watching him.
Always great to watch.
I love the part at 1:10 where Jake sees his grandson for the first time. The affection and proud look in Big Jake's eyes, not to mention the beautiful music being played in the background, makes it a very touching moment
This whole movie, culminating to this scene, is a classic example of "did not know who he was messing with!" And "he wasn't dead" (running gag throughout the movie) lol!
Richard Boone’s expression is priceless. Holy s**t I’m toast
Richard Boone was one of the few actors who could play equal to the Duke that sets this scene apart
I like the scene at the camp, where they paw at each other looking for an advantage. "No, they hurt ma' teeth" kills me every time.
@@1950Grendel that is a great scene and it sets up the later scene perfectly
The Paladin....have gun will travel...
@@al6347 best of the TV westerns hands down
Hell yes...I wholeheartedly agree...Sir...
My Favorite John Wayne line of all time.
Awsome line. There's nothing today that can beat that line.
is it the I saw a foolish thought or the now you understand part?
John Wayne made so many great movies, this scene with Richard Boone was absolutely one of the most memorable and timeless. Thanks for posting these scenes, brings back memories of when movies were great.
Damn! Richard Boone could ACT.
Nicely done. My favorite actor in some of his most iconic scenes!
This is so underrated in my opinion. Probably the number one scene honestly.
It's never been underrated... exactly the opposite in fact
This is my all time favorite movie. I can recite every inflection of every line. I sometimes will play scenes im my head when I'm bored. And genre, any decade, any actor.. this movie is my favorite.
I used to watch this movie on TV with my Dad whenever it would come on. One of my favorites! No actor can command a screen the way John Wayne can.
Richard Boone was so good in this movie.
The BEST western ever....next to Magnificent Seven.....and Tombstone !! One of the BEST !!!
And _The Searchers._
And _The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly._
And _Lonesome Dove._ And a few more, but not many.
Before Clint, Before Arnie, Before Bruce, there was John Wayne, the King of action movies, the King of delivering bad arse lines! All hail the king. I'm not gunna hit you, the hell I'm not!
The "stuff dreams are made of" line is from Bogart in The Maltese Falcon tho. So who's the real king?
@@nicholasmuro1742 actually the greatest line ever, Peter O'Toole, No Prisoners!
@@nicholasmuro1742 I said you pick it up Valance, The real King!
Duvall...I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
BIG JAKE is my favorite John Wayne movie by far. I saw that flick in Ottawa, KS when it was released with two of my cousins. Thank you for the memory.
When Richard Boone worked for the Duke in a movie, they never had a contract. Just a simple, yet meaningful, shake of the hands!
That's all that's needed for two men with immense integrity.
John Wayne specifically requested that Richard Boone be in his last film, “The Shootist”. Friends off screen, but arch enemies on flim. Their chemistry was great. RIP to The Duke and “Hec Ramsay” (I’m a little too young to think of him as Paladin).
Not me, being 65, but they both earned my respect.
“You’re just like I remember the Sweeney’s, mean and ugly!”
Thanks for posting! One of the best scenes in US cowboy history ever.
Richard Boone... Ya gotta love him!
+slippery j The best show I ever saw him in was Have Gun, Will Travel.
@@whiteribbonman1 .. check out Hombre, with Paul Newman.
the duke and Richard boone,marvleous actors,they brought any script to life,he also played opposite the great paul newman in HOMBRE,RICHARD BOONE RIP
Boone's line in Hombre is one of my favorites, "Well now...just what do you think hell is gonna look like?"
Thanks for not expanding to the end- a masterpiece of editing
Love this movie. Saw it in 1971 in the theater.
So did I, the only movie that Dad and I saw together in the theater
"Don't mess with the Duke everybody knows that." - Cabby
"Your fault, my fault, nobodies fault..." great line. Boone always played a bad@$! well, even if Duke killed him twice (the Shootist).
This is a great scene in.one of my favorite John Wayne moviesm. I was raised on. John Wayne movies.I watched them all the time with my Dad. Iff we were at his place or he at ours, my grandfather, Poppy
Imagine, 3 generations gathered around the TV watching John Wayne. If Dad called out,._Johm., the Duke's on.!" I knew I was in.for.a good time !!!
This was one of my favorite Duke Movies.
Always my favorite Duke movie!
One of my favorites. The Searchers is probably #1. True Grit and Big Jake are tied.
Leonard Inabinet isn’t it interesting that some of his most popular roles weren’t the standard hero, but rogueish tough guys! I guess as the world has gotten to be a rougher place, we want a little meaness on our side. Those were all some of my faves too!
@@leonardinabinet2478Searchers for me is 1 but I’d put Big Jake at 2
"Do you understand me"?
(Wayne nods in the affirmative).
"Say it!".
My favorite Duke film ever. I watched plenty. My dad gave me my middle name as Wayne after The Duke.
Dad's name was John, he gave that name to his first born son as tradition dictated.
Named me for his favorite actor out of love I suppose.
Miss my dad and the Duke. Two of the greatest men I've ever known!
I was named after my dad and he was named after his dad but me and my dad loved John Wayne
*@Eric Brawand*
So you really knew the Duke?
@@donarthiazi2443 No, but I wish I had.
Miss what he stood for, a real patriot with morals real American values.
Best line ever, DOG!
Can you tell this is one of my favorite John Wayne movies?
Great Choice of Clip there. Two Great Actor's who Knew how too Act. And Especially Opposite other Talented Actor's & Actresses as well. For those Not Familiar with Richard Boone. His Career Episode's of Hick Ramsey, were Very Complimentary of His Skill as an Actor, just as Have Gun Will Travel, was also Excellent 👌👍🙏 for That. Thank You for Sharing.
That was John Wayne's youngest son, Ethan Wayne playing little jake.
John Wayne's other grandson Brandon is in acting today. He plays a tough guy with a gun in a popular TV series.
Well, actually, its an internet series...and its not a gun, its a "blaster". You don't see his face because its hidden under a silver helmet. A Mandalorian helmet in fact. He's a stand-in for Pedro Pascal in the series.
John Wayne movies were the best.
Oh man, first time seeing that, all I can say is, awesome.
My personal favorite Wayne movie.
I have got a movie DVD of John Wayne and Richard Boone in Big Jake as I am dedicating this movie to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them very soon to Chris from Billyxxxx
This is 1 of the best lines.
I know he looked pretty pissed off when you opened up the trunk and there was no money that dreams are made of !!
named my son after this character... he loves it.
I was always sad the dog died
Same here there are a number of movies that I loved but only watched a couple of times just because of things like that
true
That's the stuff Dreams are made of , or maybe nightmares with a 12 gauge 2 barrel shotgun pointed at your head about 6 feet away , lol
Richard Boone was one of my cousins! Great actor.
This wasn't the best movie, but the scenes with both Wayne and Boone were fantastic.
Gregg Palmer was actually an accountant before getting into acting.Just like Jack Elam was.
His expression when McCandles calls him out into the light says it all.
"I will mess your taxes up so badly,the IRS will NEVER let go of you."
Take a look at Ethan Wayne (lil Jake) now (he is about the same age as his father back end) man he looks like his dad!
1:16 Violins ain't doin' it for me 53 yrs later! Jake hilarious right here!
A great actor and being a distant relative to frontiers man Daniel Boone is awesome
Awesome scene... seen this same dialogue on Have Gun will Travel
I never knew the Richard Boone was the voice of Smaug in the animated ranken bass version of the Hobbit.
Happy 50th. I remember seeing this at the theater with my folks. I have memory of this being one of the best setting fucking things right scene ever.........😆😅😆😅😆😅😆😅
You're a little long in the tooth for that kind of language Kev. And especially for adding childlike emojis... not to mention a string of them.
@@donarthiazi2443
Exactly my friend.
@DonarThaizi...And I am guessing you are just green enough to be advising your peers on how to go about spending their time on the internet...
Go fuck yourself.👌👌👌👌👌👌
Is any one else admiring the grey the kid is sitting on?
I've got most of this memorized and so does a friend of mine
You know that you've memorized a movie when you pick the character whose lines you're going to recite for the entire movie.
Great scene, great movie, always liked the lines about; your fault, my fault, nobody's fault...........
"I saw a foolish thought".
one of the Duke's best flicks...also one of his last.
"Palladin" was awesome in this scene.
The second he looked into that box and saw nothing but paper he knew it was game over!
Richard Boone. Paladin. Have Gun, Will Travel! He was also a direct descendant of Daniel Boone.
Actually, he's a direct descendant of Daniel Boone's brother. So Daniel Boone would be a Great Grand Uncle. Pat Boone is a direct descendant of Daniel Boone, though.
I love at the end of the movie, they all smile and ride off in the sunset, yet his beloved dog and best Indian friend are laying there hacked to pieces.
Bruce Cabot was an injun??
First movie I ever went to see with my dad.
"What does the million dollars look like?"
"Something wrong John?"
Hah!
Nobody talks to John Wayne like that!
My favorite as a child new all the lines
Love this part..
This is not the Duke’s “coolest scene, it’s a total boss badass scene! “I’m gonna blow your head off!”
2 mins - 10 sec - That the stuff that's dreams are made of...
🤦🏻♀️ lol can’t believe it! Ambulance brought my Mom home from hospital in middle of this movie.🙆🏻♀️ I MISSED THIS PART! What are the odds that you’d post it?! 🤷🏻♀️ HAHA this is _GREAT!_ Made my day! TYTYTY! 🙋🏻♀️
"He doesn't like anyone behind him, neither do I "
"The stuff dreams are made of"
- Bogart The Maltese Falcon
That's the stuff that dreams are made of.~Duane Colbert~
Richard Boone was a cousin of Daniel Boone , the genes do not lie . Boone, was a true combat veteran from a mean war in the pacific , in WWII, naval air force , carriers ...
He sure does look extra, extra pissed when Duke tells him the score . .
Lol!
You chopped the scene up!
