Viewing Notes
Not sure what the raters at IMDb are smoking but there is no way this is a sub-6.0 flick. Escapee Jim Brown teams up with scallywag Lee Van Cleef and an army of Apache to overtake a fort loaded with gold, El Condor. This is a non-stop riot of Mexican old west fun. And if you needed another reason to watch this… the gorgeous Marianna Hill. Nude even. Hot damn.
Seriously this is a great flick with some wonderful exchanges between unlikely partners and a the even keeled Patrick O’Neal, who rules the fort. It’s one set piece after another as our two leads scheme their way into taking the fort. Really love LVC cutting loose with this character. Much different than most of his other roles. Def a recommended watch for LVC fans.
