^ John Wayne as Genghis Khan in the CONQUEROR (1956).

While Khan was clearly a monster in real life, isn't he essentially the hero of the film?  I have to admit, never seen the whole thing. 

I have't either. I just assumed, I mean it's Genghis Khan!  :question:

Just seems like if you're going to get John Wayne to play Genghis Khan, you probably don't care too much about historical accuracy.   :twirl:   :drink:

Quote from: Jim H on October 14, 2020, 11:19:24 AMMy own contribution - I don't think John Wayne ever played a villain in his hundreds of roles did he?  Maybe when he was a stuntman/extra, but never as the lead.

Doesn't he kind of go "racist psychopath" in The Searchers?

Yeah...  In the end though, he does the right thing and doesn't actually murder anyone (despite attempting to at one point) to my recollection.  Haven't seen it in ages though.
