Seeing John's skill with explosives Juan decides to persuade him to join the bandits in a raid on the great bank of Mesa Verde. John in the meantime has made contact with the revolutionaries and intends to use his dynamite in their service.Run Time: 157 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: UNRATED UPC: 027616077356 Manufacturer No: M107735 Amazon.com: A different sort of Sergio Leone Western, this one takes place during the Mexican Revolution, with more politics than usual. But there's still plenty of action, with Rod Steiger as a cigar-chomping peasant who robs banks to liberate political prisoners, and James Coburn as an Irish terrorist trying to flee from his bitter past. They team up to thwart a sadistic officer and help the cause; redemption for the more subdued Coburn provides added depth. This contains the longer uncut version (released in Italy) known as Duck, You Sucker, featuring more flashbacks, more politics, and a more unsavory Steiger. But it's terrific fun, with Ennio Morricone's moody score and Coburn's most underrated performance. --Bill Desowitz Average Rating:
 Rating: - Badly Named,Brilliant MovieI am a big fan of James Coburn and this may be his best movie. I should have known that Sergio Leone was behind this! Coburn plays an Irish freedom fighter-some of the reviewers slander him by calling him a terrorist-who is forced to kill his best friend when he betrays the Irish Brotherhood to the Black and Tans. Coburn's charector is a true revolutionary-in one scene he is reading the great anarchist Baukunin's "On Patriotism". He winds up in revolutionary Mexico where he befriends a bandit leader ...

A revolution by rich people, like the American Revolution from 1775 to whenever the British gave up and did not come back until 1812, can actually accomplish something. Even a poor person's revolt, like the French Revolution of 1789 until the terror in 1993 can accomplish something for rich people who need to rid a country of the aristocracy that impedes capitalistic accumulation, according to George Bataille ...

Fascinating story of the Mexican revolution with excellent production values, 1st rate cast even if Eli Wallach is missing. The origin of somewhat bizarre title is hilarious. Rating:  - Never got it.This DVD never got to me. I checked with my post office and it's vanished, apparently into thin air. I don't know what happened, except that I'm out $25 or so and have no DVD. I've wanted to see this for a few years now and am still not able to. I ain't happy. |
