If I am correct, we are listing movies he appeared in. This is a whole new ballgame if we include appearences on TV, and can you include his movies that are appearing on cable TV today? I think we need to keep this on movies on the big screen. This can be totally complicated.

I can appreciate the listing of a movie by the production date, and understand the reason for the listing. My question is why would you want to list a movie by the completion date when the "public" see a movie by the release date?
The reason for this is the majority of the movie goers see the movie when the movie is released on a certain date. What ever the reason for the delay might be the decision of studio to stall a release date.
For example, a movie with Arnold was to come out the Friday after the 9/11 attack, and it was a terrorist movie on an airplane. Of course the studio decided to hold the release date because of the inappropriate plot of the movie at the time, and was released some 6 months later. No telling how long it was held prior to that, but years from now, that movie (which I heard didn't do well at the box office) will not be remembered as the movie that was held for a long time but one that had a release date in early spring 2002.
Just curious, because I don't really understand.

Keith,
You have a list of all the movies when production was complete?

ethanedwards,
What is the difference between the release date, and production order? Maybe you can tell me what production order is.

Popol Vuh,
I appreciate what you did, and listed the movies for the regions in 1 and 2. We've had many discussions about the movies Duke made, and had many different numbers. There was confusion to appearances counting as movies, and even cameo appearances. We never confirmed an actual number to how many movies Duke made. The list ethanedwards mentioned is different from imbd. And the other sources were different as well. So let me say that I appreciate what you have done, and enjoyed the list.
And ethanedwards, I agree with you on the actual release dates. I happen to have the same book, and find it informative. It might be nice to get the official count from the John Wayne Estate. I bet they know.
Anyway, I'm sure there will be more debate about the number of movies he was in.
Cheers B)
