I was brought up on John Wayne films.

As a child the first thing I remember wanting to be 'when I grew up' was a cowboy - it's never left me. :)

One of the most miscast films of all time is The Conqueror, John Wayne as Genghis Khan, obviously filmed in Arizona as it is a John Huston film and he filmed all his westerns there.

Here is a sample, but it is worth watching the entire film as it is so bad

Think you're getting a bit mixed up mate. That wasn't a John Huston film, he never did westerns,wasn't shot in Arizona either. John Ford?

You need to watch it. If you can watch it without laughing you deserve a medal. Imagine if Brian Potter from Phoenix Nights decided to make a film about the life of Genghis Khan, and this is the film he would have made. To make Wayne look like a *****l they basically sellotaped his eyebrows upwards so he has a surprised expression throughout the film. He then squints all the time to suggest he is of Asian stock! Everyone has a strong American accent and they actually use American slang in the dialogue. It is a prime example of a film made for a country where only about 10% of the huge population have passports.

Bit like Sean Connery in Highlander.
