McQ (1974) -- (Movie Clip) Shotgun In The Back In the credits, we saw Stan Boyle (William Bryant) kill two patrolmen, then found out he’s a cop, then he gets shot and we find out his partner is John Wayne (title character), awakened on his boat in the Seattle harbor by J-C (Jim Watkins), in McQ, 1974, directed by John Sturges.

Brannigan (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Smaller Than The Statue Of Liberty Chicago cop John Wayne (title character) arrives at Heathrow for an extradition, a hit-man (Daniel Pilon) maybe on the same plane, greeted by Scotland Yard's Ms. Thatcher (Judy Geeson), plus a brief bit with villain Larkin (John Vernon) and lawyer (Mel Ferrer), in Brannigan, 1975.
Train Robbers, The (1973) -- (Movie Clip) He Ain't Changed Comfortably non-Australian Rod Taylor just had himself doused at a water tower, with cohorts Christopher George and Jerry Gatlin, having joined Ben Johnson and Bobby Vinton, all now waiting on John Wayne and Ann-Margret, opening writer-director Burt Kennedy?s The Train Robbers, 1973.
Train Robbers, The (1973) -- (Movie Clip) There'll Be No Doubt You're A Woman John Wayne is reasonably principled gunman Lane, consulting with young widow Mrs. Lowe (Ann-Margret), who’s hired him and his gang to collect gold her husband stole, planning to turn it in for a reward rather than keep it, early in writer-director Burt Kennedy’s The Train Robbers, 1973.

Brannigan (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Knock Knock Modern enough opening, interrupting the credits, Ralph Meeker as the Chicago captain supervising cop John Wayne, title character, about to turn 70, who casually thumps a counterfeiter (Arthur Batanides), in the fairly profitable, mostly London-based police drama Brannigan, 1975.
