Fast action, one-dimensional characters in a Spaghetty Western with gunplay and blades, 26 March 2007
6/10

This Spaghetti Western concerns about the robbing a Japanese blade from train crossing the American west and that Japan Ambassador had for gift to US President . The thieves are Charles Bronson and Alain Delon.But Bronson is double-crossed and Toshiro Mifune along with him team up as the unlikely heroes. This is a surprisingly low-key Bronson Western,this time accompanied by the Japanese number one star.Bronson as another of his two-fisted gunfighters joining forces with a Katana expert,martial arts Mifune to find a missing valuable blade and the stolen loot.

The picture contains an interesting plot,action Western,shootout and a little bit of camp and refreshing humor.It's an improbable blend of standard Western,tongue-in-check and chop-socky.A clever premise,gunslingers against samurai,and interesting casting(Bronson,Mifune,Delon and Andress) make this oater well worth the watching.Besides appear usual secondaries from Italian Western as Anthony Dawson,Guido lollobrigida,Ricardo Palacios,Barta Barry.Considerable and spectacular music by Maurice Jarre(Laurence of Arabia).The motion picture is regularly directed by Terence Young(Dr.No,From Russia.. among others). The picture takes part of a sub-genre during the 70s that combines Spaghetti Western and art martial with original influence of David Carradine Kung Fu series,for example ¨Karate law in the west¨(Tonino Ricci),My name is Shangai Joe¨(Mario Caiano)and ¨return of Shangai Joe(Bitto Albertini)',besides ¨The white,the yellow and the black¨(Sergio Corbucci) with similar argument to Red sun.It's an offbeat,muddle and uneven Western but will like to Bronson fans.
