Outlaw Link Stuart (
Charles Bronson,
The Magnificent Seven) teams up with samurai bodyguard Kuroda (
Toshirō Mifune,
Seven Samurai) to track down gang leader Gauche (

Link wants revenge after being double-crossed during a train robbery by his old partner, while Kuroda must recover a gold-handled tachi sword stolen by Gauche before the Japanese ambassador is forced to face dire consequences for failing to present the ceremonial sword to the U.S. President. Link and Kuroda form an uneasy alliance where the samurai way meets cowboy survival. To make it through the harsh desert and its deadly surprises, the two men will have to learn from each other, trust each other and stay one step ahead of Gauche. The movie also stars
Ursula Andress (
Dr. No).

Red Sun here:
Red Sun is distributed by MVD Entertainment Group.
While this is common now, Red Sun has to be one of the earliest mashup movies, with a cowboy and samurai. Impressive cast, as well.
