If Delon and Bronson aren't awesome enough, how about Toshiro Mifune cracking one liners in English? Light on story but heavy on star power, this fun western is sure to please fans of any of its main stars.

Bronson! Mifune! Delon! Ursula Andress' tits! I thoroughly approve.

Excellent! The opening - esp how the characters are introduced - hooked me immediately and somehow the rest kept up the same level of quality. The script is especially good as it keeps the characters extremely likable while never letting them behave in ways that are out of character. In fact, it often seems like Mifune was acting as an advisor as to what a samurai would or wouldn't do. Andress also doesn't go the way you'd expect & Bronson's perfectly cast outlaw gets some great lines.

(A guy named Link seeks a sword.) O RLY? (With the help of a Japanese Samurai in the Old West.) O RLY?! (With Kurosawa wipes.) O RLY!?! (And played by Charles Bronson, Mifune, Alain Delon and Ursala Andress.) NO WAI!!

Kind of a mixed bag. You get 3 incredible actors and some worthwhile chemistry throughout but that's about all on the positive. The story borders on average, there's a useless female character, and Delon is barely in 1/4 of this.

Though it's not what you might hope for with such an excellent sounding cast, there's quite a few good scenes and a couple of very good scenes

Like everyone else I was drawn to this because of the stellar cast, but it turns out to be nothing more than a gimmick. I thought it was campy fun for a while, but I quickly became worn out on the whole idea. Nothing very unique or interesting is done with the odd duo of Bronson and Mifune, and Delon is basically there just to sneer and be evil. The entire thing is executed pretty sloppily, with some rough photography and editing, and some pretty bad acting.

Enjoyable spaghetti western with an amazing cast that mostly just spouts one-liners at each other; the humor helps but can't quite save the thin plot. Sadly, there's not much Mifune can do with his sword against a bunch of guns.

In most cases these 'supergroup' films - Alain Delon, Bronson, Ursula Andress, Mifune and directed by Terence Young - don't live up to their promises, feeling compromised and sluggish despite their star casts. This is engaging enough and solidly made, as excepted from the director of 'From Russia With Love', but as a western-samurai movie with Mifune and Bronson rampaging around the American frontier it doesn't live up to the promise and feels lacksure despite what it could have been.

What an utter waste of Mifune, this is completely forgettable.

Met my expectations. The cast is superb; it was a delight to see Bronson, Mifune and Delon in the same film - and Andress was obviously a plus. I was surprised by the scope of the film and it must have had a big budget. Young's direction was professional and there were many good scenes. It's a bit too epic for it's own good, and would have worked better as a direct revenge story. Jarre's score also sounded a decade older than the film. Still, it's a good one and worth a rewatch down the road.

How could you not love an American western that has Toshiro Mifune as the co-star? Some of the acting performances were uneven. Ursula Andres is really not "all that" except she revealed some cute tatas. The story has a few plot holes and convenient inconsistencies and the ending was both disappointing and lacked credibility. Overall worthwhile especially if you are a western fan.

This movie starts off well and the best scenes are between Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune. Unfortunately this movie looses its way in the final act. The script provides an unsatisfying ending that wrecks all the good it had built up to at that point.
