Gunslingers defend a village from bandits.
It's no Seven Samurai, but it's still a pretty darn good movie. It really bothered me that all of the gun sound effects are identical, though. I could barely pay attention to the final shoot-out, it's so distracting.

2021 movie #179. 1972. Link (Bronson), teams up with the Japanese ambassador's bodyguard (Mifune) to retrieve a ceremonial sword (stolen by Link's partner) meant as a gift for the US President. The clash of East vs West more physical than philosophical. Decent Western.
This is the way to do an American remake of a Japanese classic. And nobody plays a Mexican bandit better than Eli Wallach; see also The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
