Trailer—Soleil rouge

East meets West as Mifune and Bronson hunt for a golden sword and a stolen treasure, respectively. Some quite good action scenes, particularly the climax in the cane field on fire -- some wonderful images. Andress has only 2 dimension to her character (as written, not her fault in particular), but at least one of them is her breasts. Has a bitter edge and somewhat ambiguous ending: Bronson ditches Andress but gives back the sword, saying: "I don't have much else to do." If you're a fan of westerns of the continental variety, watch it. Excellent music by Maurice Jarre -- anyone know where I can find a copy?

Just re-watched this in 2019. Charles Bronson and his manly humor are worth the watch alone. Add in Toshiro Mifune as, (his usual), perfect samurai. Then Alan Deion as a straight up killer. Ursula Andress being her usual beautiful sexy self. It all adds up to a one-of-a-kind classic.

One thing's for sure, this is the only movie where you get to see a Samurai fight a Comanche. Charles Bronson plays an outlaw who robs a train. Among the passengers on the train is the ambassador of Japan and his samurai bodyguard, played by The Seven Samurai's Toshiro Mifune. When Bronson is double-crossed by one of the men in his gang, he teams up with the samurai to chase down the villain and get his revenge. If you think this sounds like a Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson movie, you're right on. Shanghai Noon was definitely a parody of this film. This is a very enjoyable, action-packed, unique western, but it definitely has some R-rated content. At the end of the day, it's hard to find a better Charles Bronson western. 4 out of 5 action rating

I just got Red Sun and enjoyed it. It's kinda hard to explain it in writing, you have to watch it. It's worth the time. Charles Bronson fans will like his performance as Link, a thief who's forced to team up with Toshiro Mifune's character Kuroda-a Samurai who has 7 days to get back a sword stolen while traveling to the US capital in 1870(around that time); the sword was to be a gift to the prez. Toshiro's performace was great, simply great. Fans will like this. It is very odd to hear him speak english...especially when he never really learned it in the first place! There's many great little bits in the movie like when Link is trying to escape from Kuroda...he just can't get away from him. They way Kuroda begins to really relax in the saloon cracks me up..he's usually stiff and mean looking..well, not that mean looking. I voted a 10 for this....
