- Patrick Wai-1 d.This is a great movie, not because it is some Oscar-level masterpiece, but because it has a little of everything and is just plain fun. It’s basically a mismatched buddy movie disguised as a western, with a man in black, Mexican bandits, a Japanese samurai, Ursula Andress, and enough odd ingredients to sound ridiculous on paper. Somehow it works. What surprised me most is that Bronson actually gets to do more talking and acting here than in a lot of his other movies. Pairing him with Toshirō Mifune was a terrific idea, and the chemistry between the two of them really carries the whole thing. It also helps that the movie doesn’t take itself too seriously. There’s some genuinely funny banter, and Bronson’s Link comes off like the ultimate manly-man cowboy fantasy: he can fight, shoot, charm women, survive betrayal, and still somehow look amused by half of what’s going on. Alain Delon makes a stylish villain, Ursula Andress adds exactly the kind of glamorous chaos this movie needs, and the whole thing feels like a spaghetti western that wandered into a samurai movie and decided to stay for drinks. And I have to say, one unintentionally funny thing is that none of the Comanches even look remotely Native American. You can pretty clearly tell they’re just white guys in costume, which definitely gave the movie a little accidental comedy on top of the intentional kind. So no, this is not a serious movie. It’s better than that. It’s an entertaining one. And sometimes that’s the higher compliment.
