BillD Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Tell Them Valdez is Coming with Burt Lancaster. Based on an Elmore Leonard book "You killed one of my men at 7 or 800 yards" "Closer to a 1000" Of course, The Professionals, Hombre and the Wild Bunch are top of the list.

benos Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 And specifiacally for Brian..."Red Sun" Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune Summary: The Japanese ambassador is traveling through the Wild West by train, when gangsters hold up the train, to rob a gold shipment. They also carry an ancient Japanese sword the ambassador was carrying as a present for the US president. The ambassador's bodyguard (Toshiro Mifune) will go after them, with the aid of one of the gang's leaders betrayed by his pals... The story takes place in Arizona, around 1870. Link and Gotch are two ruthless robbers that attack along with their men at the train which carries the ambassador of Japan over to Washington. During the robbery, Gotch takes a very valuable gold sword, which is a gift from the emperor to the president of the U.S. and tries to kill Link, so that he can take all the money for himself. Now Kuroda (the only survivor of the samurais that escorted the ambassador) and Link must leave their differences aside and work together. They both want to find Gotch, but for different reasons: Kuroda wants to take back the sword, and Link wants the stolen money. All this must be done in seven days, or the samurai will kill Link and himself. Good one! I haven't seen it in many years. Over the years I've often quoted a favorite line from it. Bronson is handcuffed at all times... and at some point he says to Toshiro, (something like) "you're going to have to sleep at some point, and that's when I'll get you." To which Toshiro replies, "I slept while walking." I love that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
