Fast action, one-dimensional characters in a Spaghetti Western with gunplay and blades
This Spaghetti Western with enjoyable casting (Bronson , Mifune , Delon and Andress) concerns the robbing a Japanese blade from a train crossing American West and the Japan Ambassador had for gift of emperor (the Japanese Ambassador refers to the emperor as the “Mikado”) to US President . The thieves result to be Charles Bronson and Alain Delon . But Bronson (one of The Magnificent Seven) is double-crossed by Delon , then Toshiro Mifune (one of the Seven Samurai) along with Bronson team up as two unlikely heroes . It is a surprisingly low-key Bronson/Delon Western , this time accompanied by the Japanese star number one , Mifune . Bronson as another of his two-fisted gunfighters and joining forces with a Katana expert , a specialist on martial arts well played by Toshiro Mifune to find a missing valuable blade and the stolen loot.The picture contains an interesting plot , Western action , 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 Toshirô Mifune, French actor Alain Delon and Swiss actress Ursula Andress , it was filmed in desert of Tabernas , Almeria , Spain, as usual , 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 by John Sturges (1973) , Red sun (1971) , Chato the Apache by Michael Winner (1972), From noon till three by Francis D Gilroy (1976), Nevada Express by Tom Gries (1975) and The White Buffalo by J.L. Thompson (1977) . Besides , there appears usual secondaries from Italian Western such as : Anthony Dawson , Guido Lollobrigida or Lee Burton , 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 martials with original influence from ¨David Carradine’s Kung Fu ¨ series , for example : ¨Karate law in the west ¨(Tonino Ricci), ¨The Karate , the Colt and the impostor¨ (Anthony M Dawson) , ¨ My name is Shangai Joe¨ (Mario Caiano) and its sequel ¨ Return of Shangai Joe ( Bitto Albertini)¨, furthermore ¨ The white, the yellow and the black¨(Sergio Corbucci) that bears remarkable resemblance to ¨Red sun ¨ . It’s an offbeat , muddle and uneven Western but will appeal to Bronson , Andress and Delon fans.
Red Sun
It is 1870 and Japan has sent an ambassador to the United States; having arrived in San Francisco he and the two samurai accompanying him are now crossing the country by train. As the train crosses the desert bandits led by two men; Link Stuart and Gotch ‘Gauche’ Kink rob the train. During the robbery Gauche kills one of the samurai, steals a ceremonial sword intended to be given to the president as a gift and betrays Link, leaving him for dead. Link is then forced to work with Kuroda Jubei, the surviving samurai. If they don’t retrieve the sword within seven days Kuroda will commit hara-kiri; but not before killing Link. He is also determined to kill Gauche on sight… Link wants to question him so he can get his cut of their stolen money. As they travel Link tries to lose Kuroda; they face Gauche’s men; pick up Gauche’s girlfriend Cristina, who isn’t keen to go with them; and face hostile Comanche warriors.Westerns and samurai films often contain similar plots so it is hardly surprising that somebody had the idea of combining the two. While it may be a bit of a gimmick it leads to an entertaining film. Link and Kuroda are an unlikely partnership so it is almost inevitable that this also becomes a buddy movie as they gradually grow to respect each other. As with most buddy movies there are quite a few laughs along the way. Charles Bronson and Kuroda Jubei are both on good form in these roles. Alain Delon is decent enough as Gauche although his character could have done with more screen time. Ursula Andress is solid as Cristina. The action is good, with shootouts and the use of Kuroda’s samurai sword. The sword use is done in a way that makes in acceptable for a man with a sword to beat a man with a gun. The Spanish locations work well as a fill-in for the US South West; while watching I was unaware that it was filmed on another continent. Overall I wouldn’t call this a classic western but it is an interesting twist on the genre which I’d recommend to western fans.
