Apparently Clint Eastwood wanted to do a movie with John Wayne at one point, but John Wayne refused; his opinion was that Clint Eastwood's movies contained too much unnecessary violence.
John Wayne and Ward Bond used to play pranks on eachother back and forth. One day, Ward Bond bet John Wayne that if he set a newspaper on the ground, John Wayne wouldn't be able to punch him across it. John Wayne accepted the bet, and Bond Ward laid out a page of a newspaper across a door. John Wayne stood on one side, Ward Bond on the other; Ward Bond then shut the door and yelled, "Try and hit me now, John!"
Subsequently, John Wayne not only punched him right through the door, but in fact, punched him hard enough to knock him flat on his ass. Through the door.
An entry in a logbook from John Ford's Yacht, recorded during a trip down the coast of Baja California reads, "Caught the first mate [John Wayne] pissing in [Ward] Bond's flask this morning - must remember to give him a raise."
John Wayne was staying in a suite in a Las Vegas hotel while shooting a movie. He turned in early, on the premise that he needed to be up at five in the morning to begin shooting. His slumber was impeded, however, as Frank Sinatra was in the suite directly below his, and he was throwing a hell of a party down there.
Every time John Wayne would call and complain about the noise, it would die down for a few minutes, but would soon build back up. After several such calls, John Wayne had finally had enough.
He, personally, went down to Frank Sinatra's suite. When Sinatra answered the door, John Wayne told him, and I paraphrase, "Quiet the fuck down, I'm trying to get some sleep."
One of Frank Sinatra's bodyguards, a man at least John Wayne's size (and John Wayne was a large man, standing at 6'-4"), stepped between them and informed John Wayne, "Nobody speaks to Mr. Sinatra that way."
John Wayne responded to this by nodding and starting to turn away, as though he were going to leave. Rather than leave, however, he choose to punch the guy the fuck across the jaw, which knocked him to the ground. John Wayne then proceeded to break a chair over him, and leave.
The party stayed quiet after that.
The movie, The Conqueror (which John Wayne always regretted making), was originally going to be thrown out by the producer, but upon returning to his office, he found John Wayne looking through the script, which he had previously left on his desk. John Wayne was enthrawled by the script, and wanted to make it. It was subsequently put into production because nobody says "no" to John Wayne.
In the original cut of his final movie, The Shootist, the final scene was arranged in such a way that it appeared that John Wayne had shot a man in the back. When John Wayne saw it, he said, "I have made over 250 pictures, and I have never shot a man in the back. Change it." They did.
John Wayne wasn't just a movie bad ass. He was the real deal.

Sorry, John Wayne also beats Clint Eastwood in this department, due to the fact that he's JOHN WAYNE.
