Synopsis
It is the 19th century, and two criminals, Link and Gotch, have a falling out after robbing a train. As a result, Gotch not only takes off with the money, but with a priceless golden sword owned by a Samurai passenger named Kuroda. Despite their cultural differences and initial hostility, Kuroda and Link pair up to find Gotch. The vengeful duo eventually track him down--only to find that a violent twist of events will change their lives forever... The great Toshiro Mifune is an excellent match for the stoic Bronson under the direction of James Bond regular Terence Young (Dr No etc) and there's a score from Maurice Jarre.

5.0 out of 5 stars East meets West!, 5 Oct 2007
By M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Red Sun [DVD] [1971] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Red Sun has Bronson and Mifune, two great action stars, journeying out in the Old West, trying to retrieve a jeweled sword that was suppose to be a gift for the President of the United States from the Emperor of Japan. Bronson, Ursula and Mifune all are at their peak (Playing themselves). Mifune, who never learned to speak English, spoke his own lines. Just to watch Mifune's samurai tactics vs. Bronson's gun fighting skills is worth the whole movie. And of course this movie is a must for anyone who loved either The Magnificent Seven or the Seven Samurai.

The Magnificent Seven was the American was a rip-off of Akira Kurosawa's classic, The Seven Samurai. Here we have Charles Bronson, who played the skilled rifleman, Bernardo O'Reilly, in the Magnificent Seven, paired up with Toshiro Mifune, who played Kikuchiyo in the Seven Samurai. This is a must see...

5.0 out of 5 stars The best samurai western movie ever, 9 Feb 2007
This is a very well made, fast paced, original and EXTREMELY funny film. Both Toshiro Mifune and Charles Bronson are clearly having a great fun playing in this movie and they are on the top of their abilities. Their dialogues are irresistibly funny, ex. Bronson "I am hungry", Mifune "When a samurai is hungry, he is ashamed of being hungry !". Alain Delon and Ursula Andress are great too - he is evil as hell, she is sexy as, well... as hell too. The dialogues between Bronson and Andress are even better that those between him and Mifune. Oh, if you are a woman and a feminist, there is a strong possibility that you will not like this movie... I watched it at least a dozen of times and I never get bored. The visit in a house of perdition is one of the funniest things I ever saw and the fight with the Indians is one of the most impressive I can remember in all the westerns - the "sword versus lance" moment is particularly impressive. Really, get it, watch it, love it! It's an order!

4.0 out of 5 stars Shanghai Noon was a remake of this film., 5 Jan 2007
By Tuco (Phoenix, Az USA) - See all my reviews
Great movie filmed in an international style. Mr. Bronson is very funny in this flick and has some great lines.

Also worth noting that this new DVD release has a much better picture quality than the shoddy Brazilian DVD release that has been on the market for years.

Definately worth the upgrade.

Even though Toshirô Mifune had been around years before, this was my first encounter with him. He plays a good counter personality to Charles Bronson. Read more
