Movie Description
Wagons East (sometimes stylised as Wagons East!) is a 1994 American Western adventure buddy comedy film directed by Peter Markle and starring John Candy and Richard Lewis. The film was released in the United States on August 26, 1994. Filming took place in Sierra de Órganos National Park in the town of Sombrerete, Mexico, and in Durango, Mexico.
During the final days of the film's production in Durango, Mexico, John Candy died of a heart attack at the age of 43. Script re-writes, a stand-in and special effects were used to complete his remaining scenes, and it was released five months after his death. The film marked Candy's penultimate performance. His last film, Canadian Bacon, which he had completed before Wagons East!, had a delayed release in the end of 1995.
