John Wayne in Brannigan

Last night I watched the 1975 "Brannigan" and found John Wayne to be himself as always - which made for a fun movie.

No, it won't become an epic in 2,000 years but it had amusing characters and I knew what to expect.

As a bonus we get to see some well dressed English police officers - lots of contrast collars which surprised me.

As in the old Bond I like my chase scenes to have some humor. Brannigan had a great line when he chased down a delivery guy who had just thrown a bag of money into the Thames:

"Can you swim?"

"Yes"

"Good go get the money"

He then kicks him in the water. Sort of Clint Eastwood with a smile....

Rooster Cockburn was well turned out. Great eye patch too.

I'm a real life Regent's pal.
