When I heard someone mention an octopus in the movie I thought "I hope John Wayne fights with it" and he did!

I know gold is heavy, but is it that heavy that he couldn't at least drag the boxes out of the ship and then load them in the basket? Or maybe take a rope down and tie it to each box handle and use the ship on the surface to drag it out of the sunken ship? Of course this is the same guy who sunk a ship on the edge of a 1000 foot crevice. Just saying, for a good plan it wasn't that well thought out. But the movie has a giant octopus and a man-eating clam so I can't complain.

In the early days of cable when they'd run sattelite feeds and anything they could find to fill all those 24 hour channels, i caught a flick I'd never heard of. and it was one of a series - called "The Three Mesquiteers" Mesquite being a kind of cactus and these being a series of westerns. And John flippin Wayne played A SINGING COWBOY ala Roy Rogers. All I remember is a scene of him sitting by the campfire playing the guitar and singing, apparently to his horse. Of course he was shown holding the neck of the guitar from behind since he didn't actually play, but we saw him sing in profile looking over his shoulder.

I swear, it was one of the things I ever saw.
