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)
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)
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.
Charles Bronson another one with Ursula Andress. Direction by Terrence Young is excellant lift you from your seat.

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).
A "bizarre" yet entertaining "popcorn" movie with a 5-star cast. Movie is a unique(?) story of a samurai who finds himself in the middle of a cowboy feud and trapped between technology (guns) and age-old traditions (bushido/swords).
