  Coaster Kingdom - Rio Bravo, Movie World Madrid
Rio Bravo, the 2002 ride, celebrates the film industry’s infatuation with all things western with an epic boat ride around the dusty wooden streets of Western Americana and harsh landscapes of the West.
With only two drops on Rio Bravo, it is the forgettable drop that has been omitted from the ride leaving two excellently situated and well executed drops to remember the ride by.

 DVD Review - Rio Bravo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
"Rio Bravo" is a fun-filled, gung-ho Western that is much better than its successors, "El Dorado" and "Rio Lobo." John Wayne is settling in his familiar role, giving us a great performance that is complemented by a great supporting cast, that includes Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson and Angie Dickinson.
Romanticized, featuring great, iconoclastic photography and ever-blue skies, "Rio Bravo" is one of the films that burn themselves into your mind and create an immediate association with the genre.
Although not as remarkable as some of the fully restored releases of classic films we have seen in recent times, "Rio Bravo" is a beautiful transfer the decries the film’s age.

Rio Bravo is often recognized as one of the finest westerns ever made.
Rio Bravo has continued to gain stature through the years and is considered by many critics to be one of Howard Hawks' very finest pictures.
In my opinion, Rio Bravo suffers from excessive length, which happened in a few John Wayne films, but that is a forgivable sin in such an otherwise pleasing film.

 Rio Bravo (1959 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rio Bravo (1959) is a Western movie, directed by Howard Hawks.
Rio Bravo is generally regarded as one of Hawks's best, and is notable for its lack of close-up shots.
However it is true that in Rio Bravo Wayne is surrounded by allies - a drunk deputy, a young gunfighter, an old man and an attractive young woman - and he definitely needs their help.

 Rio Bravo
If you are a Dean Martin fan and have seen all his movies, TV shows and club appearances, the next time Rio Bravo is on (or better yet, buy it or rent it on tape) look real closely at Dean's facial expressions.
The most riveting scene in the movie is where the story shows Dude fighting the demons and the DTs on a lonely chair in the middle of the jailhouse.
Dean sings, "...while the river Rio Bravo flows along." Maybe they changed the words because, although Rio means river, we never seen one in or near the town.

i bought "rio bravo" entirely on the strength of the critical acclaim, and i was awfully disappointed.
compared to "the searchers," "rio bravo" is claustrophobic (all the action takes place inside a jail, a saloon or a single street) and pointless.
"Rio Bravo" offers us great brush strokes on a democratic canvas, a film about a bunch of folks that operate on the feeling that there really is no one to waste.

And so the two of them, in conjunction with screenwriters Leigh Brackett and Jules Furthman, set out to do a film in response, and the result was Rio Bravo, which was a complete inversion of High Noon in virtually every detail of its plot and structure.
Finally, beyond its relationship to High Noon, Rio Bravo's most notable aesthetic attribute is its marvelously neat construction.
Rio Bravo was one of Wayne and Hawks's most successful and satisfying vehicles, which may help explain why they liked it so much and were so impressed with its potential for further exploration, that they remade it twice, once as El Dorado and once as Rio Lobo.

 Rio Bravo
In response, Wayne, Hawks and screenwriter Leigh Brackett build the whole plot of Rio Bravo around Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne), callow kid Colorado Ryan (Ricky Nelson), drunken ex-deputy Dude (Dean Martin) and toothless old cripple Stumpy (Walter Brennan)--elevating each of the four principals to superhero status.
Roundly panned as just another western in 1959, Rio Bravo is nowadays rightly acknowledged as a classic of its genre.
Filmmaker John Carpenter acknowledged his debt to Rio Bravo by restaging the central situation in an urban setting in his 1976 feature Assault on Precinct 13.

It was more or less remade in 1966 as El Dorado and in 1970 as Rio Lobo.

 Movie Review - Rio Bravo - eFilmCritic
The basic premise probably predates this movie and the short story it's based upon, and while Carpenter's film is the most direct descendant, any number of action, war, horror, and sci-fi movies have the basic siege structure - small group of heroes waiting out an inevitable attack by a superior force.
Much of the movie plays out under an uneasy truce - Nathan and his men surrender their guns to Dude as they come into town, but it's reluctantly, with the undercurrent that next time, they'll have their weapons holstered.
That's why having Angie Dickinson around is nice; that her Feathers would develop any kind of romance with Chance over this movie's timeframe seems sudden, but it's a sweet, feminine counterpoint to the rest of the action.
