Posting one of my favorite Charles Bronson movies, Red Sun, in his honor!
Enjoy!
Red Sun (1971)
Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune Alain Delon, Ursula Andress
The story takes place in Arizona, around 1870. Link (Bronson) and Gauche (Delon) are two
ruthless robbers that attack along with their men at the train which
carries the ambassador of Japan over to Washington. During the robbery,
Gotch takes a very valuable gold sword, which is a gift from the emperor
to the president of the U.S. and tries to kill Link, so that he can
take all the money for himself. Now Kuroda (portrayed by Mifune, the only survivor of the
samurais that escorted the ambassador) and Link must leave their
differences aside and work together. They both want to find Gauche, but
for different reasons: Kuroda wants to take back the sword, and Link
wants the stolen money. All this must be done in seven days, or the
samurai will kill Link and himself.
Trivia:
- Bronson starred in The Magnificent Seven, an American remake of Seven Samurai, which featured Mifune. Talk about International! The movie stars U.S. born Charles Bronson, Japanese actor Toshirô Mifune, French actor Alain Delon and Swiss actress Ursula Andress. It was filmed in Spain by the British director Terence Young.
