John Wayne's six-shooter wasn't the only thing that was loaded in the movie "Big Jake" -- the legendary cowboy pulled in a whopping seven figures for playing the lead role in the flick ... which was made way back in 1968.
Wayne's fat paycheck was revealed in a boring "Jake" lawsuit we just got our hands on -- and won't waste your time on -- which clearly states John was guaranteed $1,000,000 for the job.
But that's not all: Wayne was also set to make 10% of every penny the movie pulled in over $10 million -- too bad it only made a little over $7 million.
Ironically, "Big Jake" was also known as "The Million Dollar Kidnapping."

Chains around his neck, cuffs around his wrists.
TMZ has obtained a photo of a cuffed Snoop Dogg, snapped moments after cops found a gun and marijuana inside his vehicle at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank last week.
The arrest came just days before the Orange County District Attorney's Office izzled a warrant for Snoop's arrest on charges of carrying a deadly weapon through a security checkpoint at John Wayne Airport.
Trouble at the airport has become a recurring theme in the pistol packin' rapper's life. Earlier this year, Snoop was busted at London's Heathrow Airport after his entourage sparked a melee when they were denied entry to an airport lounge.
Maybe it's time for the Dogg to go Greyhound!
