| Big Jake | comment |
A 1971 Western movie directed by George Sherman, starring John Wayne, Richard Boone, Maureen O'Hara and Jim Davis.In 1909 Texas, a gang of brutal ruffians led by John Fain (Boone) violently kidnaps the grandson of Martha McCandles (O'Hara), who runs a large and lucrative cattle ranching operation. When the thugs demand a ransom, Mrs. McCandles decides it's time to send for her long-estranged gunslinger husband, Jacob "Big Jake" McCandles (Wayne) – a rough and unpleasant man, to do a rough and unpleasant job.Not one of The Duke's best-known Westerns, it is an interesting treat for dedicated fans. The film was made relatively late in the careers of most of those involved, and Wayne and his co-stars brought their many years of experience in making Westerns to bear on their roles, resulting in a competently-made, easygoing, consistently entertaining film. In addition to older, experienced Western actors, the film also featured two of Wayne's real-life sons, as well as the son of Robert Mitchum. The score, by Elmer Bernstein, was pretty good too.Set in 1909 – rather than the 19th century, like most Westerns – Big Jake deals tangentially with the closing of the American West and the ''end'' of the age of cowboy heroes like those played by John Wayne throughout his movie career. Automobiles, motorcycles, oil wells, and semi-automatic pistols all make appearances, and both Big Jake and his Indian companion Sam (Bruce Cabot) are old and grey, worn out by years of hard living. | |

Underestimating Badassery | |
| Big Jake / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: Like nearly everybody else in the movie (see Phrase Catcher above), the kidnappers assume that Jacob McCandles is dead. It naturally never crosses their minds that he might be the one coming after them. Had they known he was alive, it's very likely they would have kidnapped somebody else's grandson. It isn't until the very end that John Fain confirms that he, too, thought McCandles was dead. | |

In the Back: The kidnappers shot two unarmed McCandles hands (one of the bronc busters and a cobbler) in the back as they run for cover, and also shoot Moses Brown multiple times in the back after he drops the rifle he was preparing to fight them with and is trying to stagger inside. | |

Throw-Away Guns | |
| Big Jake / int_225b682 | comment |
Throw-Away Guns: Big Jake does this at one point, but it is probably justified- out of ammo, he was aiming for his assailant, hoping to slow him down in a life-or-death situation and thereby buy himself enough time to finish the guy off. He would have been easily able to retrieve it, once the assailant had been dispatched. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| Big Jake / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: The McCandles foreman Bert Ryan, the two broncobusters, the old cobbler and the younger cook who are shot during the kidnapping. One of them survived based on a line from Jake that seven McCandles people are dead and one is crippled (not counting Jeff), after Moses Brown and implicitly the two children are said to have been killed earlier on, but it isn't revealed who the survivor is (presumably either the broncobuster shot in the back climbing the fence or the cook, the only two besides the boy whose wounds weren't shown much after they were shot). | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Big Jake / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Several. In one instance, a member of lynch mob gratuitously kicks a young boy, prompting Big Jake to get involved in the situation, when previously he had been subject to the Bystander Syndrome. There are also several examples involving the gang of kidnappers, the most egregious of which belong to the machete-wielding overweight kidnapper. One of these involves an actual dog. | |

Batman Gambit | |

Batman Gambit: Big Jake needs to convince kidnapper Pop Dawson that one of the members of the ransom party has died, even though he is still alive. When the kidnapper demands to see the body, Jake tells him it is sitting in the jailhouse, with all the other dead bodies, knowing that the kidnapper (a career criminal) will be highly averse to going anywhere near a jailhouse. | |

Whispered Threat: While he's not really whispering, Jake delivers one of these in such a low voice that only the Big Bad can hear it. His henchmen, standing several yards away, lampshade this by asking each other what Jake is saying. After the Big Bad tells Jake that his grandson is going to "get his head blown off" if anything goes wrong, he opens the crate and sees it's filled with only newspaper clippings. | |

Made of Iron \ Rasputinian Death: John Goodfellow, the machete-wielding kidnapper is attacked by an angry dog (twice!), shot with a pistol (also twice), stabbed in the stomach with a knife, and finally dies after being stabbed in the stomach with a pitchfork. Jeff McCandles is shot and falls through a railing during the kidnapping, then gets back up, shoots one of the kidnappers before being shot again and manages to survive that. One of the McCandles men, Stubby the broncobuster, is shot in the leg, but then staggers to the bunk house to retrieve a gun and keep fighting. | |

I Just Shot Marvin in the Face | |
| Big Jake / int_a1d70162 | comment |
I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: Big Jake casually sticks a derringer pistol into the front of his pants, pointing straight down to his groin. It probably wasn't loaded, but he doesn't actually bother to check. There is also a scene in which Michael McCandles' fancy new semi-automatic pistol fires wildly out of control, causing all of the other members of the ransom party to dive for cover. The derringer is single action meaning the hammer needs to be cocked by hand. As it was not cocked, it wasn't really a danger. | |

Speak Ill of the Dead | |
| Big Jake / int_d259fea2 | comment |
Speak Ill of the Dead: Downplayed. When being told about those killed during the kidnapping Big Jake comments that Moses Brown was a good man, but a lousy cook. | |

Camp Cook | |
| Big Jake / int_d339924e | comment |
Camp Cook: The opening scene shows two cooks at the McCandles ranch, an aging black man named Moses Brown and a younger, unnamed white man preparing a meal for the household and ranch hands. Both of them attempt to fight back and are shot down when the ranch is attacked by outlaws. | |

Only a Flesh Wound | |
| Big Jake / int_e663d3ef | comment |
Only a Flesh Wound: Many, many times. The only really realistic example is when Jacob's son James takes a barrel full of buckshot in the arse. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Big Jake / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: The party that comes to ransom Little Jake instead just kills the kidnappers and takes him back without paying. | |

Evil Old Folks | |
| Big Jake / int_eb9afb9d | comment |
Evil Old Folks: Pop Dawson, the oldest of the gang and a former member of the James gang is a mean old man who needlessly shoots a young boy running for cover during the kidnapping and once killed a man for $7.00. | |

Can't Bathe Without a Weapon | |
| Big Jake / int_f79d939e | comment |
Can't Bathe Without a Weapon: There's a Shower Scene, and Jake knows someone's after him, so he keeps a shotgun in the shower. When the guy comes in to kill him, Jake has the shotgun in his hands and uses it to shoot through the thin wooden door of the shower stall. | |

Answer Cut | |
| Big Jake / int_fd16495f | comment |
Answer Cut: Martha noting that for this "harsh and unpleasant" affair, they'll need "a harsh and unpleasant kind of man" (and she knows exactly the right one). Cut to Jake's intro scene with his rifle at the ready and a badass scowl, with his Leitmotif playing. Also a bit of a Description Cut, as the scene is a big Pet the Dog for him—though he does take advantage of the situation a bit himself. | |
