Summary: Duke takes a 'Chance"...
Review: The action scenes with the burning oil wells were top notch and quite the spectacle and the humor came off well, but beyond that the film kinda sagged. It really suffered when the Duke was not onscreen. I found myself fast forwarding through those scenes. It was good to see Duke in a more contemporary film and his performance/character was right on par with what you'd expect from the man. Well worth seeing for the special effects on the five or so oil fires but I feel it would collect some dust on my shelf.

Summary: Excellent! I feel this was one of John Wayne's best films.
Review: This film has the excitement of putting out oil fires. Added to two classic love stories. I have always enjoyed this film and now my 15 year old son is enjoying it as well.

Summary: THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is one of my favorite John Wayne pictures. It has all the key elements: danger, romance, explosions and fires, a barroom brawl, private jets, pretty girls, and great theme music. Great cast too, with Jim Hutton, J.C. Flippen, Kate Ross and Vera Miles. If you like John Wayne movies, 'Hellfighters' is one of the best.

Summary: Splendid cast and storyline
Review: This is one of the last movies featuring Vera Miles. She plays well as Wayne's estranged wife (how many of THOSE has his movies featured?). Also, it's always a treat to see Katharine Ross. Her love interest, Jim Hutton, went on to play TV's Ellery Queen. Jim also costarred with Wayne in Green Berets. In my opinion, this is one of Wayne's finest non-western movies, maybe not quite as good as Hatari. Certainly different from typical fireman stories. Plus, it's one the whole family can watch.

Summary: Great Flick
Review: This is probably one of the best entertaining John Wayne films that most fans don't mention. I would recommend this film to be added to any John Wayne Library. The story is based upon the real life "Red Adair" and John Wayne plays this part. A must see. I give it five stars.

Summary: All Time Classic!
Review: This would have to be one of the alltime most exciting movies
John Wayne ever did.In this movie Wayne plays the role of a character who is based on the life of Red Adair a legendary oil well fire fighter from Texas. Excellent supporting roles are also played by Jim Hutton,Katherine Ross and Vera Miles.In this
movie you are treated to some extrodinary oil well fires.Wayne
and Hutton fight these monster oil well fires all over the world.
The special effects that are employed to put these fires on the silver screen are extrodinary.Wayne plays the role of Red Adair
very effectively. This is a very good movie that you will enjoy.
Buy it and watch it.

Summary: John Wayne is hot tonight.
Review: Yep, it is John Wayne (Chance Buckman) again only this time he hung up his spurs for a read suit. A television announcer asks if that is just fancy showmanship? Jay C. Flippen (Jack Lomax) gets to do dangerous things like picking restroom colors. Jim Hutton (Greg Parker) takes Katharine Ross (Tish Buckman) the daughter of Chance Buckman to an oil well fire. And we all know what happens to women that Greg takes to a fire. See Jim Hutton and John Wayne again together in The Green Berets (1968) ASIN: 6300267830. The biggest surprise was seeing Bruce Cabot as Joe Horn. Think real hard and look real close. Can you say King Kong - Special Edition (1933) ASIN: 078062565X. This film has all the things you look for in a John Wayne movie and then some.
