60 of 187 · most liked firstPeople are arguing whether or not Coogler borrowed ideas from Tarantino like the horror community doesn't love that shit. Carpenter said "I wanted to remake Rio Bravo so I made ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13" and we were all "Fuck yeah, you did!" Who cares if he was inspired; he made a very different movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is such a funny idea. You're 20 minutes into Get Shorty and then you have to watch Rio Bravo for two hours. Then you're almost through the movie and, bam, time for the theatrical cut of Touch of Evil.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie is a classic film from a legendary director. Join me as we breakdown John Carpenter's homage to Night of the Living Dead/Rio Bravo in Assault on Precinct 13!
neutral · AI labelView post →RIO BRAVO is very much a No Kings movie masterpiece (just brought this home from the frame shop yesterday)

neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #285 "Rio Bravo" (Howard Hawks/1959) Hawks awesome Western set siege film. A huge influence on Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. Check it out!
positive · AI labelView post →One movie a day for 365 days. 100/365: Rio Bravo. Among the many things I like about it, the fact that Hawks plants Angie Dickinson among the guys and she helps Wayne in defeating the villains. It's a western all right, but there's so much comedy in it that it's a joy from start to end.
positive · AI labelView post →#Deucember 2025, Movie 22: ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (1976) Finally treated myself to a long overdue rewatch of John Carpenter’s classic updating of siege westerns like RIO BRAVO. Still kicks ass. #grindhouse #filmsky #action #crime #johncarpenter
neutral · AI labelView post →This week on @rememberthispod.bsky.social: Howard Hawks's final films include an African safari hangout movie, a rom-com with Rock Hudson, half-hearted remakes of RIO BRAVO, and a James Caan racing pic that's the best of the bunch. www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/how...
neutral · AI labelView post →Director Howard Hawks (Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, To Have and Have Not, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Rio Bravo) said a good movie is "three good scenes and no bad ones". Same is true of comics. #ComicSky
neutral · AI labelView post →Inspired by other folks comments and reviews, I'm sat here on a Saturday afternoon watching Rio Bravo for the first time. My dad was a big John Wayne fan, so I can't account for never having seen it before. Angie's great, as are Dean and Walter. It's a different kind of storytelling.
positive · AI labelView post →So watched THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and realized just how much a certain generation of horror film was influenced by RIO BRAVO.
neutral · AI labelView post →If anything, it's a tribute to John Carpenter, not only as a skilled director but as a fan of film. This is the guy that loved Rio Bravo and Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster and Double Indemnity. Big Trouble is a movie that only gets made when your tastes are very broad.
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #270 John Carpenter's action/siege repurposing of Howard Hawk's Rio Bravo employs that rare gift of complimenting it's forebears by refraining from copycat tropes. For me, the film IS Napoleon Wilson! #BluRay #FilmSky

neutral · AI labelView post →Rio Bravo (1959) It's got pretty much everything a dad could want out of a dad movie--male bonding, violence, guns, period costumes, Angie Dickinson, Dean Martin being drunk

neutral · AI labelView post →I only saw assault on precinct 13 for the first time last year, for movie night. And we were all really surprised that it's basically a zombie movie. In a way that Rio Bravo 100% is not!
neutral · AI labelView post →The common theme of my favorite films is about friendship. ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, E.T., SEVEN SAMURAI, RUSHMORE, RIO BRAVO, BECKET... What makes me return to those movies is the relationships. The friendships between men. THE LONG WALK is going to be another one, I can tell.
positive · AI labelView post →"THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, that's a movie. RIO BRAVO, that's a movie. And THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, *that* was a fuckin' movie." - what Clarence Worley shoulda said 5 stars. No notes. Go dirty Texas hippies go.
neutral · AI labelView post →Arthur Hunnicutt, Michele Carey, James Caan, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum in EL DORADO (1966) maybe my favorite Howard Hawks film. Like HATARI, RIO BRAVO, you want to keep hanging w/ these characters. Leigh Brackett’s dialogue is sharp & frequently hilarious. Strong villains & action packs a punch.
neutral · AI labelView post →Somebody on Bluesky pointed out yesterday that most of the John Wayne movie Rio Bravo is four men sharing complaints about getting old. I think a lot of people have never been taught to listen. You have to learn that to have a conversation.
neutral · AI labelView post →I would like to see a slasher/thriller type of movie in the RIO BRAVO mode: two “good guys” killed, tops; personal struggles; romance; teamwork; bunches of baddies getting wiped out; maybe a song or two?
neutral · AI labelView post →The heatwave keeps us indoors, so our movie sessions continue: Rio Bravo starring John Wayne and Dean Martin. For hubby’s gluten-free breakfast: cucumber, radishes, grapes, melons, tomatoes, zucchini, strawberries, wild mushroom salad, bell pepper, cherries, apple, cabbage. 🍜
neutral · AI labelView post →There aren't many people around me who can talk about John Wayne these days. It's sad. For entertainment films, there's "Big Jake" and "Rio Bravo." For serious human dramas, there's "The Shootist" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." My favorite movie of his is "The Searchers."
positive · AI labelView post →Tarantino has compared the film to Howard Hawks’ classic western Rio Bravo – a movie which QT loves. He said "It's a hangout movie [like Rio Bravo]. The second time you see it, you're not thinking about the plot anymore. You're waiting for the hangout scenes." 20/42
neutral · AI labelView post →Great film. I interviewed Saulnier when it came out - and what should be his embarrassment - he had never seen Rio Bravo before making it.
positive · AI labelView post →Good morning, Jim. El Dorado was basically the same movie as Rio Bravo. When they were working on El Dorado, someone mentioned to John Wayne that it was the same movie they did a few years before. He supposedly said, "If they liked it once, they'll like it again."

positive · AI labelView post →My first film of 2026: Howard Hawks’ RIO BRAVO! The 4K Blu-ray is a revelation compared to the old Blu-ray.
positive · AI labelView post →Angie Dickinson hold a horse in a scene from the film ‘Rio Bravo’ with Ricky Nelson, 1959.
neutral · AI labelView post →My DVD copy of Rio Bravo has a fascinating (and somewhat snarky) audio track in which iconic horror director John Carpenter and film critic Richard Schickel discuss their appreciation of Howard Hawks, the gravitas & physical grace of John Wayne, and the pitch-perfect dialogue of Leigh Brackett.

There is not a shot that is wrong. It is uncommonly absorbing, and the 141-min running time flows past like running water." - Roger Ebert

positive · AI labelView post →And Tarantino's movie is actually much older than Rio Bravo was when Carpenter was making Precint 13. Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress was also only around half as old as Dusk til Dawn is to Sinners when Lucas made Star Wars.
neutral · AI labelView post →MAD MAX, that's a movie. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, that's a movie. RIO BRAVO, that's a movie. And MENACE II SOCIETY, *that* was a fucking movie. (h/t Clarence Worley)
neutral · AI labelView post →Drop the last movie you watched. Not surprisingly there aren’t a lot of Rio Bravo GIFS on here.
neutral · AI labelView post →Leigh Brackett was born OTD in 1915. "The Queen of Space Opera," she was an accomplished screenwriter and wrote THE BIG SLEEP, RIO BRAVO, & worked on an early draft of EMPIRE STRIKES BACK but died in 1978 before the movie was completed. Only the second woman nominated for a Hugo.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ooh! Also the writer of many books and screenplays, including my favorite movie, Rio Bravo. I should go watch it today.
positive · AI labelView post →Now keep in mind I'm a HUGE sucker for a good siege movie and the OG Assault on Precinct 13 delivers on a fantastic re-imagining of Rio Bravo! So it is HIGH up in my list for that reason. Well worth your time though!
neutral · AI labelView post →Favorite Movie(s) Right This Second. Rio Bravo (1959) El Dorado prequel. Probably the better movie but, y’know, James Caan. OTOH, Angie Dickinson. What’s yours? #filmsky #scriptsky #cinema
neutral · AI labelView post →"Mad Max, that’s a movie. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, that’s a movie. Rio Bravo, that’s a movie. And Coming Home in a Body Bag, that was a fuckin’ movie.” - Clarence Worley He was right to say it. Coulda said THE 39 STEPS while he was at it, too, because *that's* a fuckin' movie. 5 of 5 stars.
neutral · AI labelView post →I really like it – it is so entertaining. Assaults on Precinct 13 is an interesting unofficial remake. You probably know this but in case you don’t, Rio Bravo was itself a comment on High Noon, so that movie is also worth checking out in this context.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's late great movie is, the hell with it, RIO BRAVO. Always wanted that brick red shirt with the exaggerated cavalry placket.
positive · AI labelView post →I think it’s fair to say the structure of it is, where it’s two different films almost. Like everybody mentioned From Dusk till Dawn when the movie came out for a reason. But Sinners execution is more like Night of the Living Dead or Rio Bravo
neutral · AI labelView post →Fred Zinnemann directed a great western with "High Noon", which Howard Hawks and John Wayne hated so much, they made "Rio Bravo" in response. Which is also a great western. Thank you for the these two delicious cakes. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...
positive · AI labelView post →Rio Bravo (1959) - Oh the vibes are near perfect even if Wayne thinks he’s in a totally different movie. boxd.it/cw4HYb
