Thanks for posting those cards- I see that it was actor Lloyd Batista who played Neemo (the Bandit who rustled Chisum's cattle leading to the river gunfight). He was earlier confused with Pedro Armandariz Jr. (who played one of Billy's friends).

Ben's Pepper reminded me quite a bit of Ken Curtis' Festus. A fun film could have been made teaming those characters in a western!

yeah I have to find out where you get those!

Well, Jim Burke doubled him during part of the fight and the fall, but Tucker DID do the bulk of it himself. It was kinda strange that Tucker's character was able to fire a shotgun at point blank range at Chisum (as he came thru the window) and STILL missed him. Then Chisum jumps him and they crash into a chair that smashes to pieces, but mysteriously is back together a second later for Chisum to fall onto.

Just watched this again last night. As everyone knows, Duke tried to help out friends whenever possible, with roles in his films. John Agar was one who Duke used whenever he was available. Another was stuntman Bob Morgan-who can be seen as the bartender when Duke & Ben Johnson go to the saloon before the horse thieves confrontaion. I believe he also has a small role in Rio Lobo, again as a bartender (alongside Don 'Red" barry), when Duke meets up with Rivero & Mitchum in the saloon tent. As most of you know, Morgan was badly injured doing a stunt on How The West Was Won, that limited his ability to do stuntwork from that point on.

I like the film alot more now than when I first saw it. the fault was that I didn't know it was a "Billy the Kid" plot. I expected a new story with Duke. Once I'd grown to accept the story line, I appreciated the film much more.
I liked the action, especially the final confrontation between Duke & Tucker (sure "Bad Chuck" did alot of the fight, but it was still a nice old-fashioned battle).
