Posts from ethanedwards in thread „Great Chase Scenes.“

I would think that almost every Duke film from the word go,
involved some sort of a chase scene.
Many have already been mentioned.
Hey there was even a movie called
The Sea Chase!!!

dont forget the great chase scenes in Brannigan and McQ

Another odd one that Bill might be thinking about
is chasing the baby elephant in Hatari!

Quote from BILL OF PA

There are a few of Duke's that I can think of, one in particular. Very unusual one. But I'll see if anyone else can come up with it.

The Lucky Texan

This film contains a couple of oddities for a series western.
Firstly, while pursuing one of the bad guys on horseback,
Wayne actually misses tackling him off of his horse and lands at the bottom of a ravine.
But fear not. A large downward sloping sluce just happens to be nearby and the Duke grabs a tree branch,
mounts it and slides down the sluce in time to leap up a tree and jump the fleeing villain.
Secondly, the final chase sequence is also interesting in that the baddies are escaping in an old railway utility car
and are pursued by Hayes in a vintage auto which criss crosses the tracks Keystone Cops style with the villains,
and of course by Wayne on horseback.

Duke was to race over a hill on horseback and intercept the railroad in a canyon, then gallop alongside it, and leap onto the car, from his horse.

Interesting thread Bill, thanks for starting it.

Duke of course in many films had memorable chase scenes,
particularly those in the Lone Star series,
and in many others afterwards
