It was filmed across three central locations in Arizona (Monument Valley), Mexico (Durango), and Utah (San Rafael Swell). Most scenes were shot in Durango, Mexico, giving viewers a taste of the Wild West atmosphere that makes up this classic movie.
Is Big Jake a good movie?
A very entertaining John Wayne western. Richard Boone makes a great villian. It's action packed much more in the style of a Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry picture than a vintage John Wayne. Most highly recommended of Wayne's movies in the post-True Grit period.
What happened between Christopher Mitchum and John Wayne?
The two actors fell out when Mitchum disagreed with Wayne's conservative views during a television interview, and they never spoke again. Mitchum tried to get in touch with Wayne in 1979 when the veteran star was dying of cancer, but did not receive any response.
