People also ask
Is Rio Lobo a remake of Rio Bravo?
Although greeted with lukewarm reviews upon its release, Rio Bravo is now regarded as a classic western. Hawks and Wayne remade essentially the same story twice, in El Dorado (1967) and in Rio Lobo (1970), Hawks's final film.
How old was John Wayne during the filming of Rio Lobo?
The director, who injured himself and needed four stitches while filming the railway scene, felt that at 62-years-old Wayne was too old to carry the movie – with critics saying the same in their reviews. He went on to claim that O'Neill was inexperienced and difficult to work with too.
Is Rio Lobo a good movie?
If it lacks the formal perfection of Rio Bravo and the moving elegy for men grown old of El Dorado, it's still a marvellous film. John Wayne is great to watch, and the train holdup sequence that leads the film is genuinely exciting. A rambling Western. Disappointing.
Which movie came first, Rio Bravo or Rio Lobo?
El Dorado (Paramount Centennial Collection)
This is the second of a trilogy of Westerns starring John Wayne and directed by Howard Hawks. The other two are "Rio Bravo" made in 1959 and "Rio Lobo" filmed in 1970.
