Good trivia question, and i'm not sure of the answer but, I know he was shot twice in El Dorado. Once by a woman in the back because he had shot her younger brother (who was gut-shot and later killed himself)(the actor was Johnny Crawford who played Lucas McCain in The Rifleman) who tried to ambush him. Next he was hit by a stray pellet from Mississippi's sawed-off shotgun when they were in a Saloon trying to find one of three men who had tried to ambush them from an old Church. Mississippi btw, was played by a young James Caan--and did a good job at it.
Duke was shot in the leg by Sheriff gone bad: Hendricks in Rio Lobo (leg wound)
Duke was shot by ambush in a Saloon in The Shootist.
Duke as Sgt Stryker was shot in the back by a Japanese sniper in: The Sands of Iwo Jima.
As Hondo Lane in Hondo, he was stabbed in the chest by an Apache Indian while they were fighting for blood rights.
He was shot by a Cowboy in his waist, in: Red River.
In The Cowboys, he was shot several times (murdered) by: Bruce Dern. And did you know, that Bruce Dern is still hated today because he killed the Duke!
He was shot in several other movies but I would need to watch them all again to give a more accurate accounting of such ;-D
I think he died in 6 or 8 of his movies. Keith, a Gentleman from England, gathered together all that trivia-which is only found at
