If there was ever a tough guy, it was HONDO! Yes, Hondo was played by John Wayne. Hondo Lane was his full name. He was a scout for the army and lived life by his own rules. There were a lot of great scenes in this movie! My favorite was when he THREW the kid into the river upon being told that he did not know how to swim. Talk about OLD SCHOOL! "I can't swim" said the boy. Then Hondo LAUNCHES him into the river! Haha! The Apache leader was a Hollywood NDN and played by a white man who wore very short shorts. At one point the Apaches catch Hondo and decide to torture him by pouring hot coals on his hand. This didn't last too long. Hondo eventually ended up being set free from the Apache. If you like to see cold hearted callous John Wayne, then HONDO is the movie you should see!!!
