What a ridiculous cast, Charles Bronson, Alain Delon, Toshiro Mifune and Ursula Andress (who was pretty crap). While their performances are definitely not their best it’s still pretty surreal seeing Toshiro Mifune talking to a cowboy Alain Delon in English, a very strange moment in cinema. This film is pretty cheesy, it’s a pretty classic basic western film with some cool samurai elements and a lovely ‘buddy’ trope going on between Bronson and Mifune. The actual story was okay, it was exciting enough but did drag at some parts, most of the film is just riding on the cool cast. I wonder what the process behind all this was, how did Alain Delon and Toshiro Mifune star in a spaghetti western together, I’m loving it.

C'est un film un peu original, les relations entre les personnages sont interessantes à suivre mais j'ai pas grandement accroché
Cependant certaine scène sont vraiment bien joué je trouve donc ça mérite d'être vu
