A Spanish Italian sword and sandal action film directed by Pedro Lazaga.
A group of seven gladiators defend a small town from a tyrant and his soldiers.
Does this plot ring a bell? Maybe it's a little like Shichinin No Samurai (1954) or The Magnificent Seven (1960)? This makes me wonder if there's a wuxia/kung fu version around somewhere. When something is perfect the first time and still good the second, what would possess someone to try for #3 by using inferior tools and abilities? Anyway, the plot was stale as stale can be and the characters were shallow mockeries. The audio and video were bad and the style sucked. I would compare this to someone scribbling with crayons on their ceiling and calling it a sequel to the Sistine chapel. For making such a bad movie, based on such good movies, I rate this shit. This is another instance of "I watched it so you don't have to".
an action movie co-written, edited and directed by akira kurosawaa village in abject poverty needs to hire samurai to defend against bandits.the video was in black and white and in full screen. the audio was in japanese, but subtitles were provided.check out: the fat samurai. these dudes are supposed to be dirt poor, so why does he have such a gut?this flick is way oldschool. I've never liked old samurai films to begin with and this one was over 2 hours long. I'm not saying it was bad, but it sure doesn't deserve green text. it just depicts abject poverty so well that it stays out of the red. also, I didn't get the whole thing with the dude finding that the farmer had all that samurai stuff hidden in his house. they needed war gear and there it was. must be some japanese honor thing.
