Talk:Rio Grande (1950 film)

Broken Links
There are two broken hotlinks on the webpage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Grande_(film). In the PLOT section, the last two hotlinks to the "Fourth Cavalry" and "Colonel Ranald Mackenzie" bring up the following message: "Article not found. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia".

Inaccuracy.
This film is fiction, so I know we shouldn't be too meticulous about accuracy. However, I have to point out one glaring flaw. In one scene, the sergeant-major announces that Jeff Yorke and his nemesis will settle a dispute with a boxing match under Marquess of Queensbury rules. However, during the actual fight, they're apparently using London prize ring rules. For instance, they fight bare-knuckle, and a round ends when one of them the fighters is knocked down.97.73.64.164 (talk) 16:08, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Technically, you're right. However, in 'common' usage, to invoke the phrase "Marquess of Queensbury rules," means that whatever contest is about to take place (and, yes, it usually is a fight), "sportsmanship and fair play" are to be observed.


 * Ironically, in the 'follow-up' movie The Quiet Man, when John Wayne's & Victor McLaughlin's characters have their big fight, the "Marquess of Queensbury rules" are also invoked. And as in the Rio Grande fight, it is bare knuckles (and not always 'fair'). 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 11:44, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

York/Yorke
The second paragraph says that John Wayne is playing the same character from Fort Apache. Is that right? I always thought the three films in the Cavalry Trilogy existed in their own timelines. Captain York in Fort Apache never made any mention of a wife or child in the film, and Victor McLaglen, Grant Withers and Jack Pennick all come back in different roles. --Funkychinaman (talk) 21:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Black and White Shouldn't the article mention that this film is in black and white? In fact, shouldn't articles on all films specify whether or not they were shot in colour and the colour process or otherwise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.255.194.210 (talk) 13:38, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
