Believe it or not, while both Hondo and McLintock! star Michael Pate as an Indian chief, the Indians, whether Apaches or Comanches, speak Navajo in both movies instead of their different tribal Native American languages as well.
John Wayne died on 1979, yet actors like Haley Joel Osment & Hillary Duff who were born just shy of a decade later are still connectable to the duke in short order. In HJO's case he was in "Second Hand Lions" with Robert Duvall, who was in "True Grit," with the Duke. Hillary Duff was in "The Lizzy McGuire Movie with Robert Carradine who was in "The Cowboys," with John Wayne. Now I'm challenging y'all to link current actors to John Wayne.
First, The Quiet Man and now, McLintock!.
Both featuring Maureen O'Hara getting spanked by John Wayne, whether for affection or simply knocking some sense into her once and for all.
Lol!
I bet none of you could tell me what those 2 actors had in common other than The War Wagon.
I noticed something concerning movies. Now, it's your turn to find out.
