Red Sun


1971 western eastern

Rating: 14/20

Plot: An outlaw teams up with a samurai in order to retrieve a priceless sword and some stolen cash.

This is Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune teaming up to look for a priceless kitana, some stolen money, and a little revenge. That's probably all you need to know. If you really think about it, Bronson and Mifune is a perfect match on paper, and they're a perfect match out in the barren desert wherever this is shot, too. Western bravado and loud guns clashes with quiet and graceful swordplay of the East, and it's fun watching those two ideals skirmish on screen and these two manliest of men match wits.
