''The Conqueror'' is one of the most notorious films ever made in Hollywood, for multiple reasons. It was part of the death spiral of Creator/RKOPictures under Creator/HowardHughes. Despite actually doing pretty well at the box office, it still couldn't recoup its bloated budget, and RKO went out of business not long after. It is a member of the WTHCastingAgency hall of fame, with John Wayne – ''All-American boy John Wayne'' – being cast as Genghis Khan, wearing some sort of brown makeup with a silly Fu Manchu mustache.
