Josey Wales would have kicked the Rooster's ass.

Plus Eastwood's characters weren't as stale as Wayne's.

Clint was much better than John.  John sounded like a drunk in every episode.

Clint would have shot Duke before he finished talking.

John Wayne does look like he could handle himself in a fist fight better though.

This is the toughest poll I have ever participated in here.. I give a slight tip of the hat to the Duke.. like 49.9 to 50.1

Both good.




Clint is just so damn cool though, it's almost no contest.

That said, Eastwood kicks ass too. Josey Wales is a damn strong contender against any of John Wayne's characters.

I cant believe this is 20 years old




Best scene ever

As much as I admire John Wayne, his characters always have seemed more sappy to me than Clints. Could just be more to do with their era of popularity though. Nothing against either though

Its impossible to make that decision.

Its like divding by zero

I can't pick one over the other.

I tend to think of Clint's Western characters as sons of John Wayne's Western characters.

...and shame on you for not having any pics of the Duke from "The Quiet Man"!

But no seriously, it's John Wayne.

Eastwood. But I voted Duke because he deserves votes too. Both good men.

I'd go with Eastwood only because he hasn't done any parts that tarnish his image. His later acting parts may not be as glorious as the early ones, but they don't tarnish.

Further, when one plays an amoral, self centered assassin, if a governmental one, such as Jonathan Hemlock, one has a lot more lee way to take less shining knight roles.

I mean, who would ever see Wayne as a prisoner at Alcatraz?

34 years since John Wayne died, think the poll would be closer if he had lived longer and was more known to the under 40 crowd.

Clint all the way.

At least he can act, unlike Marion


Neither of them are what anyone could call a great actor. Duke pulled off some surprising performances over his career. Eastwood has as well. They both have a fairly limited range.

If you voted for Clint, you voted for Euro-trash spaghetti (e.g., Sergeo Leone, Ennio Morricone, etc.).

John Wayne remained faithful to the United States of America, throughout his career.

eta: many of Clint's "Westerns" were filmed in fucking SPAIN.
