This was an incredibly boring movie. The base concept of the story of Genghis Khan is good, but the execution is poor, lackluster and wildly not interesting.

JOHN WAYNE TAKES ON HIS MOST CHALLENGING ROLE YET: GENGHIS KHAN!!
The one redeeming quality of this movie is that it probably killed John Wayne, having filmed downwind from a nuclear test site. He literally talks the same except he refers to himself in the third person.
Here’s a clip of Wayneghis John speaking in this movie: https://youtu.be/wjz-DJz8Kdg?si=gm1RCD8IIzYTxyxC
This could legit be a 5/5 subjective based on how often I was laughing at the sights and sounds of this horror.
