Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The Worst Film Ever

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

¨Guns of the magnificent seven¨ (Paul Wendkos,1969) with George Kennedy is a thrilling and truly thunderous sequel next to original and considered to be one of the best . Acceptable following co-produced by US/Spain and filmed in Almeria , Andalucía and Hoyo de Manzanares's Western-film town , Madrid , where were shot lots of Paella/Spaghetti Westerns in the 60s and 70s . This is the third in the original series of four "Magnificent Seven" movies , as The magnificent Seven are back and they don't aim to please . This sequel to ¨Magnificent seven¨ is well played George Kennedy as tough gunslinger named Chris who along a misfit group of gunslingers , all of them set off in rescue a Mexican revolutionary . As one day soldiers of the dictator Porfirio Diaz capture a rebel leader called Quintero (Fernando Rey) . His deputy (Reni Santoni) offers a reward to free Quintero and he sets out to look for Chris , the leader of The Seven for help . Chris is decided to take a squad and strike a blow against the Mexican army and free the captured leader of the revolutionaries . To carry out this assignment Chris has to join a misfit bunch of gunfighters . As Chris and his buddies (James Whitmore , Monte Markham , Bernie Casey , Scott Thomas , Joe Don Baker) , each of whom comes for a different reason , must free a Mexican revolutionary imprisoned by nasty Col. Diego (Michael Ansara) . All of them riding to the rescue of yet another bunch of downtrodden evil people and , at the same time , they get a chance to redeem themselves . Later on , the team develops a plan to secure an enemy attack and to pull off their mission against a fort strongly defended .Chris character was played by Yul Brynner in two occasions and one performed by Lee Van Cleef and George Kennedy . Brynner as a two-fisted Pistolero was very good ; in fact , it was Yul Brynner who approached producer Walter Mirisch with the idea of doing a Western adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's classic , The seven Samurais . Despite bearing no resemblance to Yul Brynner, including a full head of hair , George Kennedy and subsequently Lee Van Cleef took over the role of Chris Adams , played by Brynner in the first two films . Even Chris Adams' trademark dark clothing is gone , what remains is the steel resolve and affinity for cigars . Here George Kennedy as Chris is pretty well , giving a forceful interpretation . Besides , Monte Markham as well as James Withmore are unexpectedly lithe and other gunslingers are quite well defined . The remaining cast is a great help and they hold the picture together when it looks disintegrate after a promising start as did other follow-ups in the series . Wonderful ensemble cast playing unforgettable , moving roles with nice performers such as Monte Markham , Joe Don Baker , Frank Silvera , Reni Santoni and feature film debut of Bernie Casie . Being a Spanish/US co-production , there appears several actors usual in Spaghetti-Paella Western such as the Spanish Sancho Gracia , Jorge Rigaud and Fernando Rey playing his ordinary role as a good man . Rey is the only actor besides Yul Brynner to appear in two Magnificent Seven films , as he also played a priest in Return of the magnificent seven (1966) . The story is similar to previous entry , including customary outlaw band formed by an eclectic gang with diverse characters as well as speciality , as dynamite or guns . The film gets action Western , exciting riding , shootouts , it's fun and entertaining , although nothing new but displays a slight style . Despite the familiar framework of the screenplay , the interesting dialog is studded with memorably quotable lines and the flick arranges to raise some fresh entertainment from the vintage tale of the septet of Pistoleros . The movie contains some moment of violence and even touching on the relationships between the Mexican villagers and the Magnificent . Colorful as well as sharp cinematography in Panavision and Color DeLuxe by Antonio Macasoli , being filmed on location in Colmenar Viejo , and , of course , Almeria , Spain . As always , breathtaking and memorable musical score by Elmer Bernstein ; Elmer , whose score for this movie is one of the best-known ever composed , also wrote the soundtrack for the parody of this film, 'Three amigos' . The classic and stirring soundtrack helps highlight the action in the exciting climax . The motion picture was professionally directed by Paul Wendkos , whose works remain undervalued in USA . This is a decent though inferior sequel to the original and enduringly popular ¨The magnificent seven¨( John Sturges,1960) that is equally remake of ¨The seven samurais¨ (Akira Kurosawa) . After that , followed ¨The return of the seven¨(Burt Kennedy,1966), again with Brynner and and ¨The Magnificent seven ride¨ with Lee Van Cleef by George McCowan and continued with a TV series and a Television movie realized in 1998 . Although this film revisits the village from the first movie, it was shot in Spain , not Mexico and for once doesn't disgrace the original . Among the many reasons were the difficulties that occurred between the American filmmakers and the Mexican crew and government censors during the shooting of the first film .

With a friends birthday coming up,my dad decided that due to him being a fan of the first Magnificent 7,that he would give him one of the sequels as a present. Since neither me or my friend had seen any of the other titles in the series,we decided that it was time to once again join the Magnificent Seven.The plot:Building momentum in rallies against President Díaz dictatorship, Quintero and his fellow dissidents are arrested and placed in a maximum security prison.Just before he is sent to jail, Quintero gives fellow dissident Maximiliano O'Leary $600,and tells him to buy weapons so that the battle can continue.Ignoring Quintero's suggestion, O'Leary secretly crosses the board to search for legendary cowboy Chris Adams.Locating Adams just after he has helped a fellow outlaw to escape a hanging, O'Leary offers Adams $600 to help him free Quintero. Adams accepts the offer but on one condition,that he is able to gather a gang of cowboys and pay them $100 each,so that they can take on the full force of President Díaz army.View on the film:Backed by returning composer Elmer Bernstein rousing score,director Paul Wendkos gives the film an elegant appearance,with Wendkos cowboy silhouettes setting the Western mood,as Wendkos tightly-held shootouts allow the bullets to fly across the screen.Along with the Western kicks, Wendkos also gives the movie a surprisingly eerie horror edge,thanks to Wendkos using stark wide shots to show prisoners hanging from the prison walls,and bringing the camera down to the ground ,to show prisoners getting their heads crushed by horses.Giving each of the gang a moment to display their talents,the screenplay by Herman Hoffman gives the film an interesting real life element,as a young Emiliano Zapata helps the gang in their battle to free Quintero.After the origins of the gathering of the cowboys leads to the title having a light,playful atmosphere,Hoffman takes an impressively dark turn for the films blistering final shoot out,as Hoffman reveals that the gang were magnificent enough to survive the battle with Diaz,but were not magnificent enough to survive the war.

how is it possible that they made the third film in the series & it is also the worst just like previous 2 films this also fails to entertain.the story do i really need to tell here no sir its the same lame story of some Mexican dude wants help of American gun boys,no one from the original cast returns here the director is changed with everything its just a remake of the original i say,why bother making it again yikes.Joe Don Baker is added here but he gets wasted here it was embarrassing for the whole cast they were not interested in this trash.the bad script & action goes useless here again with zero impact for fans.my rating is 1/10 this is the 3rd worst film made in the series as guns of the magnificent seven 1969 fails to impress.please save your time & cash & Skipp this i have wasted mine & i am warning you.

I was going to say that "Guns of the Magnificent Seven" isn't as good as the original, but the original would be Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai". Well, the original American remake of this film, "The Magnificent Seven", is pretty much what you're getting here--but with a much less exciting cast. Otherwise, it's very, very familiar--like a remake of the remake! While George Kennedy, Joe Don Baker, Bernie Casey, James Whitmore and the rest try, you can't help but think that they are a second-rate cast compared to Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn and the rest in "The Magnificent Seven". This is especially a problem because Kennedy is supposed to be playing Brynner's character--a man who looks and acts nothing like him!! Kennedy is a fine actor--but not nearly as menacing and intensely cool as Brynner. I tend to think of him as the nice-guy character from "The Dirty Dozen" or the likable lug from "Cool Hand Luke". Heck, they even forgot to dress Kennedy's character up in black! As for the rest, it's pretty much the same--nice actors but that's all. The music, by the way, is exactly the same as in the first film. The only real differences were the bad guys--federal troops instead of just bandits AND the racial element which was included in the 1969 version since race had become a HUGE national issue between the films. Overall, a very entertaining but stale film. It's just not different enough and seems like a remake of "The Magnificent Seven" instead of further adventures of these men. It is, however, marginally better than the previous film "Return of the Magnificent Seven".
