But I always find it funny that he's looked up to by many as this prototypical tough guy, when other actors like, Jimmy Stewart, served voluntarily, Stewart tried to enlist and was turned away for being underweight. He could have let it go, satisfied that he at least tried. But instead he worked with a studio trainer to bulk up and retake the physical. He passed, was selected for pilot training, and wound up flying 20+ combat missions over Nazi Germany. He continued to serve in the Reserve after. He even accompanied a bombing mission in Vietnam, and retired as a 2-star General. But Stewart is remembered as this skinny, warbly-voiced, everyman. It's almost like Hollywood depictions of toughness and valor have little to do with real life bravery and heroism.....
But there's no reason to dislike Wayne for his lack of service when there are so many real reasons to dislike him, like being an open racist and homophobe (see his 1971 Playboy interview), a snowflake who got so triggered by a Native American woman's mere presence at the Oscars that he tried to physically assault her, cheating in all three of his failed marriages, including allegations of trafficking a teenage girl from Mexico during his first marriage.
John Wayne was a piece of crap, not because he didn't serve in the military, but because he was a piece of crap.

All of that aside, IMO, I think he is the most overrated actor ever. He is the very definition of "wooden," which should not be confused with stoic, distant, etc. I love old movies and actively avoid anything he is in. He's just a terrible actor. But I guess people at the time (and even now) were into the macho, rugged type, regardless of how believable they were.
Whenever I see him in a movie, I am immediately reminded that I am watching a movie, which then seems like some second-rate acting school where they are giving the flunky a chance. It's really noticeable when it is around actual good actors. I wonder what they must have thought, especially the female actors that were probably paid a fraction of what he made.
No matter how you spin at the end of the day, you cannot hide an open racist and a Nazi sympathizer by saying just look at his acting skills.
Big Jake is still my favorite western. So many great quotable lines in it. The westerns bundle is by far the best.

Great deal otherwise if you're okay with 1080p / HD.
