Film Deaths:[]
- Shoot Out At Medicine Bend (1957) [Clyde Walters]: Tipped head first down a mine shaft after a fight with Randolph Scott. (Thanks to Brian)
- Hellfighters (1968) [Jim Hatch]: Poisoned when the oil fire is caught up with toxic gas, we don’t see him getting poisoned but we see his jeep crashing then they take out of his body and when John Wayne askes Edward Faulkner on when he took off his mask, Faulkner said he did it a few seconds before they got in the safe zone.
- The Devil's Backbone (The Deserter) (1970) [O'Toole]: Falls to his death off of a cliff while training for a covert mission for the army.
- Blazing Saddles (1974) [Gum Chewer]: Shot in the stomach by Harvey Korman for chewing gum and not bringing enough for everybody. (Played for comic effect) (Note: the film’s closing credits erroneously list Don Megowan as “Gum Chewer”. Don actually played the part of “Big Man in Saloon” during Madeline Kahn’s musical number, while John went uncredited in this role.)
- The Wild Geese (1978) [Randy]: Shot in the forehead by Roger Moore.
