1 star from me, this film lookās a lot like a magnificent seven clone ???
boring all the timeā¦
Thanks everyoneā¦I tried again, got through another 20 minutes or soā¦just going to watch in spurtsā¦i notice the heavyās voice is the same as Ramon/Indio in the Dollar filmsā¦interesting and jarring at the same time!
I just started watching my RHV DVD and Iām frustrated with the English dub. You hear the gunshots too late, as well as the dialogue. Are all copies like this or is mine broken?
Iām glad it didnāt stay like that for the rest of the film. Apparently itās not just my copy: http://www.mondo-esoterica.net/Sette%20pistole%20per%20i%20MacGregor.html
After watching it twice, I would rate it 2.5/5. I want to give it 3/5 but Iām still undecided. Iām going to contradict myself and say that itās both entertaining and annoying. I suppose it depends on the mood.
Yes the audio is out of synch for a bit, but there is a fan version where this has been corrected. Recently viewed the film myself, and enjoyable stuff especially with all the old dudes.
The film couldāve had serious consequences for the genre
From my review:
The script is very lively and eventful, still the film has mainly become famous for two great scenes: the knife fight on a waterwheel, and a truly exciting train assault. It is during this train assault that Fernando Sancho nearly lost his head (and we one of the most colourful villains of the genre). Shot near Guadix, Sancho climbed on the train the moment it passed the iron bridge present in a lot of movies shot in the area (1). The scene was used for the movie and is a bit painful to watch, even if you know Sancho wasnāt hurt. Still the production wasnāt completely safeguarded from accidents: both Manuel Zarzo and Alberto DellāAcqua broke several ribs but were forced to carry on due to the tight working scheme.

Robert Woods also had a nasty accident while shooting that Water wheel scene and damaged his spine. He mentions it in the interview I did with him a few years back.

Itās definitely entertaining. Iāll most likely watch it again.
I thought this was decent light-hearted stuff. Itās a shame about the out of sync Ripley audio.
Robert Woods definitely got shafted when it comes to the availability of his Westerns, especially in English.
Ya gotta love this guy 
Yeah, he is a pretty funny bloke, too bad he isnāt around here anymore.
Anything which isnāt a Sartana movie is shite!!
Booooreeeeeeiiiing
Trust me, itās not.
Well I donāt know, I have rather fond memories of him, wasnāt he like a friendlier version of SD basically? I remember him being more amusing than genuinely annoying, but maybe my memory fails me.
His posts seemed moronic but entertaining.
Wasnāt that the same guy? Unless Iām getting mixed up (always a possibility).
No, no. Different guy.
Ah, ok. My bad
Another review on my rebooted blog for this one.
Itās by no means a great film but itās quite fun in these stir crazy lock down days.
