Return of the Seven

Manuel kills the bull but in the wide angle shot that follows, the body is nowhere to be seen in the pen.

Throughout the film, Chris changes from wearing 2 guns to wearing just one at the end.

When they are leaving the courtyard on horseback after teaming up, you can see the camera rock from the truck it was on suddenly accelerating to keep up with them.

Yul Brynner returns as gunfighter Chris, who is recruited by old friend Chico(now played by Julian Mateos, taking over from Horst Bucholz) to return to his village that has been raided by a powerful landowner, who has kidnapped the men for his own purposes. Chris agrees to help, and enlists old friend Vin(Robert Fuller, taking over from Steve McQueen) and new members of the "7", including actors Claude Akins & Warren Oates.

In the franchise of the magnificent seven which itself was a remake of seven samurai this is the second worst film made.only few members return from the original 1960s flick but rest gets wasted just like the original.

Robert Fuller catches up with Yul Brynner to let him know there's a price on his head. Brynner has changed a bit since the events of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.

For the western enthusiast Return of the Seven whilst not in the class of John Sturges's original classic, is not a bad follow-up when we're talking sequels.For a start, it has an experienced hand on the helm in terms of Burt Kennedy, a veritable western specialist, if there ever was one.

If the 'Godfather II' was THE example of why a gifted director might consider making a sequel to a great film, this turkey is the classic counter-example of why no-one should make one (leaving aside the obvious point about wanting to milk a very successful cash cow a second time around). The only actor from the first (truly magnificent) film to appear is Yul Brynner in the lead role and all of the others who appear are decidedly 'B list' (if that) character actors who simply do not have the charisma to awaken much interest in their 'stories' or fates amongst the audience.

This was really a disappointment after watching The Magnificent Seven. I know sequels are usually disappointing, but this one had little going for it compared to the original.

"The Magnificent Seven" was an exceptional remake of Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai". But, unlike the Japanese film, it was set in the West.

RETURN OF THE SEVEN is an extremely lacklustre follow-up to THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN that manages to miss the point entirely and as such comes across as a weak retread of the first film; even the plot's the same. The only good things about this one are the return of the reliable Yul Brynner (who appears to realise as time goes on that the quality just isn't there) and the Bernstein soundtrack, which has been retained for this movie.

This is the second in the original series of four "Magnificent Seven" movies . This sequel to ¨Magnificent seven¨ is well played Yul Brynner as tough gunslinger named Chris who along with Vin , Robert Fuller, and their group set off in rescue some Mexican villagers .
