Story goes that John Wayne was saying the line without the correct reverence, so the director says " Say it with awe John"
JW said "Aww..this man was truly the son of God"

John Wayne has a cameo role as a Roman Centurion at the crucifixion and as Jesus dies and all the thunder and lightning starts, Wayne looks up and says "This man was truly the son of God". Nothing funny in itself but the way that the line is delivered in best John Wayne drawl is so cheesy it cracks me up. |
