The picture contains an interesting plot ,action Western , shootouts and a little bit of campy and refreshing humor . It’s an improbable blending of standard Western , tongue-in-cheek and chop-socky . A clever premise , gunslingers against samurais , and agreeable international cast make this oater well worth the watching . As the movie stars U.S. born Charles Bronson, Japanese actor Toshir\u00f4 Mifune, French actor Alain Delon and Swiss actress Ursula Andress , it was filmed in Spain by the British director Terence Young . Pretty good Charles Bronson in his ordinary tough role , this film is one of Charles Bronson’s 70s westerns ; his westerns made during the 1970s include Chino (1973), Red sun (1971), Chato the Apache (1972), From noon till three (1976), Nevada Express (1975) and The White Buffalo (1977) . Besides , there appears usual secondaries from Italian Western as Anthony Dawson , Guido Lollobrigida , Ricardo Palacios , Bernade Barta Barry and several others . Considerable and spectacular musical score by Maurice Jarre (Lawrence of Arabia) . The motion picture was regularly directed by Terence Young (Dr.No , From Russia , Thunderball.. among others) but turned to be entertaining . The picture takes part of a sub-genre in which during the period of the 70s combined Spaghetti Western and art martial with original influence from \u00a8David Carradine’s Kung Fu \u00a8 series , for example : \u00a8Karate law in the west \u00a8(Tonino Ricci), \u00a8The Karate , the Colt and the impostor\u00a8 (Anthony M Dawson) , \u00a8 My name is Shangai Joe\u00a8 (Mario Caiano) and \u00a8 Return of Shangai Joe ( Bitto Albertini)\u00a8, furthermore \u00a8 The white, the yellow and the black\u00a8(Sergio Corbucci) that bears remarkable resemblance to \u00a8Red sun \u00a8 . It’s an offbeat , muddle and uneven Western but will appeal to Bronson , Andress and Delon fans.
