When Mexican revolutionary leader Quintero is left to rot in jail by the forces of President Diaz, it's up to his subordinate, Max, to bust him out. With $600 in hand, he crosses the border into America and hires Chris Adams, a mercenary of considerable skill, who uses the rest of the cash on more hired guns. After the team is rounded out by experts on close-combat fighting, explosives, and knife-throwing, they set off to free Quintero.

Guns of the Magnificent Seven
Guns of... pretty much follows the exact blueprint of the series, but it does step up in terms of how the characters interact with each other; or at least I did care for them, unlike in the first sequel. The final action sequence in the jail was very dope.

We’ve lost Yul Brynner. In his place stands George Kennedy, doing a hunch back/old man run through the run time. Maybe as the 70s fast approached they needed a replacement for Brynner’s stone face performance and George Kennedy felt right after his Cool Hand Luke performance? Idk. This one was more memorable than the last because they get squad wiped at the end.

better then the first and the second movie, the plot is build properly and they took time building the storyline, the antagonist is great, the action is great, and the overall final fight is marvelous

Not really sure what to think of these sequels, they’re certainly not what I would call “magnificent” 😅
Idk I enjoyed the jail break, the gunfights overall were enjoyable and the main crew were interesting enough but again the sequel is full of new characters and so doesn’t feel like a sequel 😆
Been thinking whether or not to sell on this Magnificent Seven box set, I like the first the most but unless the 4th blows my expectations out of the water I think I'll live without seeing them again 🤷

Guns of the Magnificent Seven
1969 | Western

“Guns of the Magnificent Seven” is the second sequel to the 1960 John Sturges classic and while it changes things up a little bit it still doesn’t come close to the original.

None of the actors from the first two film return, not even Yul Brynner, and his character Chris is recast with George Kennedy which is kinda weird since they look vastly different and their characters couldn’t feel less alike. Whatever. The new members of the seven are alright, but for me there were no standouts.

There is some real nice cinematography and the action in the finale is pretty good, but the score felt very off sometimes and didn’t fit in with some scenes. Everything else is alright, not good and not bad.

“Guns of the Magnificent Seven” is about as good as “Return of the Seven”, but neither of them even come remotely close to the greatness of the original.
