    A Spagetti Western/Samurai flick starring
    Toshiro Mifune, Ursula Andress and Charles Bronson. Directed by Terrance Young!

    Seriously, how is this movie not better known?

    A Great Movie, You will find this in some catalogs as a Spaghetti Western, I don't know it just didn't have that good ole Spaghetti Western Quality aka: B-Movie effect. After all some outstanding stars in this one. Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune (The Greatest Sword Fighter Ever)...( read more), Alain Delon (Fabio Montale ) , And the ever so trampy Ursula Andress Now I am not sure why guys were so excited to see Ursula in any movie, nothing I have seen impresses me. But this movie is worth 4 stars, I really though it was filmed in the US, but come to find out its in Spain. Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune run around the country side trying to track down Alan Delon who stole the gold the sword and has Ursula, In the End only Charles Rides away but not in to the sunset, its a shame because I believe that Charles and Toshiro could have made many movies together. Its a good Western Add it to any collection, if you can find it. (Very Expensive). 4 Stars

    Great western. Super tough guy Charles Bronson joins forces with a Samurai and a Bond Girl, in this entertaining western. There's plenty of humor and gunfights, and director Terence Young's flowing direction, and the stunning Ursula Andress, make it very easy on the eyes.

    In theory a samurai-cowboy buddy movie sounds great. In practice: not so much. I felt this movie dragged as Bronson and Mifune got to know each other, which was the majority of the film. However there are some great parts, mostly ones involving Alain Delon. This film is only rea...( read more)lly for huge fans of some aspect of this film (ie Bronson, Delon, Westerns, Samurai flicks). The end it pretty great as well.

    All-star, fitfully entertaining Western has an interesting premise - samurai vs. cowboys - but ultimately wastes the considerable talents of the great Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. Charles Bronson has another of those offbeat-character parts that he underplays into a leading role.

    first- the bad: the camerawork is atrocious at points, and this film contains maybe the worst portrayal of native americans this side of the 1950's. that being said- IT'S A GODDAMNED COWBOY MOVIE WITH A SAMURAI IN IT FEATURING BRONSON, MIFUNE, DELON, ANDRESS AND DIRECTED BY TERE...( read more)NCE YOUNG OF JAMES BOND FAME!! what's not love? and how in the hell had i never heard of this before??

    Not a typical western - a noble samurai ( a great Toshiro Mifune) and a not-so-noble rough and ragged outlaw ( a very charismatic Charles Bronson) are bound to join forces in pursuit of revenge, money and a precious sword stolen by Bronson's double-crossing partner, Gauche ( a su...( read more)ave and devilish villain played by Alain Delon).Ursula Andress is Cristina,an opportunistic whore,Gauche's love interest.Culture and customs clash providing many funny moments along the way,Mifune and Bronson make a great sparring duo,two unlikely allies that ends up respecting each other.Luminous,sun-bathed landscapes, interesting score ( though nothing spectacular like Ennio Morricone's western themes),some excellent fighting sequences.Not Sergio Leone but highly enjoyable.

    Classic movie with Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune working together to go along the old west to deliver a Samuari sword to Japan.

    Bond Girl Ursula Andress appears naked in one scene.

    Directed by Terence Young (Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball).
