Which COMMANCHERO are you?


I'd say this movie has enough rich characters that everyone can have a favorite character, or one they see themselves as. Which one are you? Any letter of the law John Waynes? Any of you the vicious tyrant Nehemiah Persoff? Any of you the drunken chief?
I'll give the main characters. Add in your write in if you like.
John Wayne-Texas Ranger tough guy. Honest, hard working.

Stuart Whitman-more of alady's man than you know (or more of a man's woman than you know. Interested in bettering your prospects, and in living a rich, good life while being fairly generous to others.

Nehemiah Persoff-you are a vicious tyrant, and you often satisfy sadistic cravings with the excuse that it makes for more order

Ina Balin-you're caught up among evil surroundings, but you are a gentle loving soul who only wants to creat something better

Bruce Cabot-you're in charge, and many see you as a true father figure.

Lee Marvin-you're just downright mean and evil! And you like it that way.

Gordo-You're the head henchman, and you're the muscle for the gang.

Esteban-you're like Ina, surrounded by evil, but you just despise all the evil around you, and instead of trying to escape it you want to make it better. Without realizing it, you become a man of mystery without even trying

McBane-you are the hero of today, the super con artist. You can adapt to any situation, and you lay with any evil parties there are, and you can lie and cheat with the champs

Chief-you're drunk

Patrick Wayne-you just have to needle somebody. You can't wait to see how far you can push someone around before they get mad

Edgar Buchanan-you know how to mix business and pleasure, and you're pleasure is your business.
One way to know who you are is to watch the movie and see who you think is showing your viewpoint.

The one I can most identify with is John Wayne's character, if I had to pick a second it would be Cabot and Patrick Wayne would be third.
