Frank Pierce (Bruce Cabot) is a ruthless man bent on manipulating the cattle business towards his own wealth and prosperity. When Taw Jackson (John Wayne), an honest rancher, interferes with his plans, Pierce imprisons him and confiscates his gold-filled land. Escaping the prison, Taw plans a raid on Pierce's heavily guarded pay roll carriage, but not if Pierce has anything to say about it. After assembling a group of misfits and hired guns, Taw runs into serious opposition when he encounters the madcap gunslinger, Lomax (Kirk Douglas). Sent by Pierce to stop the raid, Lomax winds up taking a liking to Taw, and they decide to join forces and stage a raid on Pierce's WAR WAGON. Famous for its fighting scenes between John Wayne and Kirk Douglas, WAR WAGON is quintessential of its genre. WAR WAGONS features astonishing stunts and pyrotechnics. Advanced for its time (it was released in 1969) one would think Kennedy produced it in the mid '70s. The climactic end scene which pits Douglas and Wayne against a Gatling gun has spawned similar scenes in RED DAWN and YOUNG GUNS. WAR WAGON is a modern and triumphant film.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Super movie
Of course, another super movie with John Wayne in his usual confident manner. However, Curt Douglas adds another interesting character to the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed both characters.

5 stars War Wagon Review
A clasic John Wayne western. The comic scenes between the Duke and Kirk Douglas add a nice human touch that makes the movie that much better. It rankes up there with "The Sons of Katie Elder" and "El Dorado" as some of the greatest westerns made. It's too bad the Duke never got recognized for these classics (as in an academy award) until his acting career was almost over and then won with another great western - True Grit.

In this action-packed Western, three wandering sons return home to attend the funeral of their mother, Katie Elder, who's been murdered. The brothers then set their sights on the man responsible for her death, as well as for the death of their father, who was killed six months earlier. They receive help from a fourth brother, who has remained at home. However, getting revenge won't be easy because the culprit, who has also gained possession of the family's ranch, will do anything to stop them--including hiring an assassin to kill the oldest brother, John. This classic late-era John Wayne Western features a musical score that bears a suspicious resemblance to the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN theme. (Both were written by Elmer Bernstein.) Also starring in Henry Hathaway's excellent cast are Dean Martin, Earl Holliman, James Gregory, George Kennedy, and Dennis Hopper. John Wayne, Dean Martin, Martha Hyer, Michael Anderson Jr., Earl Holliman, Dennis Hopper - Dir:Henry Hathaway Katie Elder's four sons return home to Clearwater, Texas to pay their last respects on the day their mother is buried.

Their travels take them to a small town being held in terror by an evil Sheriff. McNally and his crew decide to help the townspeople with their own brand of justice. With a considerable amount of humor and Hawks's reliable ...

The daytime soap opera DARK SHADOWS garnered a huge cult following in the years that it aired, 1966-1971, and afterwards. It separated itself from its peers due to its subject matter, which dealt with supernatural elements usually consigned to horror films. Central to the program was the tortured vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid), a member of a family around which strange events seemed to circulate. VOLUME 19 collects episodes 936-975 of the daily program. In these episodes, Barnabas must simultaneously deal with the mysterious, evil organization known as the Leviathans while agonizing over his return to vampiric ways. Meanwhile, werewolf Chris Jennings must counter a threat to his person as someone discovers his devastating secret. This 4-DVD set includes episodes 942-981. At the altar of the Leviathans, Barnabas Collins is attacked by a bat and is again a victim ...
