Double Feature Western Movie Quiz


Today's game is a simple one.  I've got twelve pairs of western movies here.  Your job?  Tell me what actor or actress appears in both movies for each pair.  For instance, if I said The Searchers (1956) and True Grit (1969), you would answer 'John Wayne.'  Make sense?  

I have tried to make this easier by only using well-known actors.  You won't find character actors or bit players here.

1.
3:10 to Yuma (1957)
Cowboy (1958)

2.
Far and Away (1992)
Australia (2008)

3.
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Tom Horn (1980)

4.
The Rare Breed (1966)
Big Jake (1971)

5.
Support Your Local Sheriff (1969)
One Little Indian (1973)

6.
Branded (1950)
Shane (1953)

7.
Silverado (1985)
Open Range (2003)

8.
Calamity Jane (1953)
The Ballad of Josie (1967)

9.
Wyatt Earp (1994)
The Quick and the Dead (1995)

10.
They Died with Their Boots On (1941)
The Proud Rebel (1958)

11.
Quigley Down Under (1990)
Crossfire Trail (2001)

12.
Tombstone (1993)
The Missing (2003)
