One of the most satisfying scenes in a movie is in The Sons of Katie Elder. John Wayne stops into see his blacksmith friend, played by John Doucette. George Kennedy, playing the evil hired gun named Curly, is holding the blacksmith's head down in a barrel of water to get him to spill some information.
The Duke happens to stumble upon them and spies an axe handle, grabs it and yells, "Hey!" to Curly. Curly turns around just in time to get the axe handle right in the face with the Duke swinging it backhanded.
There doesn't seem to be a full clip of the scene anywhere so this brief shot from Youtube will have to do. Once it loads, click about 1/2 way on the bar at the bottom to advance it to 1:45 and you'll see the short version of the scene.
