bland mgm spaghetti western knock off or imitation direct by don ` escape from the planet of the ape and damien represent the omen 2 taylor . one of dario argento first write credit and one that he probably doesn not put on his resume . it even have ennio morricone score the film and but amusingly and essentially just rewrite his leone theme and alter the instrumentation a little . in other word and it not the high caliber of a production . it a true spaghetti western in the same way that a stouffer frozen lasagna be traditional italian food . basically and it about a motley group of men thrown together under the pretense of rob a train car full of gold dust from an evil mexican general and give the gold to some revolutionary . the men be and a bluto like strongman and a grizzled dynamite expert ( who when we first meet him be a suave card shark and but for the rest of the film he look like a hobo and like they abandon his original characterization ) and a samurai ( who be so tan he look more south american ) and a young jim morrison look acrobat and and ` the dutchman peter graf . now and when peter graf be the drive force and the ` cool factor to a film and be there any doubt it will be lackluster . the tone be very lighthearted and the plot dumb enough that you would think it be make for child and that be and until a few soldier be slash by the samurai and the bluto guy snap a few neck . some truly horrible moment include peter graf fake a mexican accent and the crew sneak underneath the train in full view of over half a dozen soldier and the cross stereotype of the latino general insult the asian samurai and the crew stupidly fear the train cannon ( which be so huge it couldn not be use at close range and and would only be good if fire at someone directly behind the train and three mile away ) and and finally and an extended piece at the end when the action be completely halt for an extended 2 3 min sequence of the samurai run across field like he be on the intro to little house on the prairie . ultimately forgettable and and rock stupid and but a fun watch and nonetheless .
