Trivia:
Despite bearing no resemblance to Yul Brynner, including a full head of hair, George Kennedy takes over the role of Chris Adams, played by Brynner in the first two films. Even Adams' trademark dark clothing is gone. What remains is the steel resolve and affinity for cigars. more

BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL., 31 October 1999
Author: ALAN MOUNT from CARDIFF, WALES

Not many,if any, would claim that this movie is better than the "classic" original but what seems to be generally overlooked is the fact that the first film was very slow with little action until the end.That is not true of "GUNS" which is packed with all kinds of typical western rough-housing all the way through until the final rousing battle and if George Kennedy and Monte Markham do not compete with Brynner and McQueen in the charisma stakes they make up for it with a surfeit of fast gunplay which basically is what we want and expect from the western genre.Its also a lot better than any of the John Ford yawnfests (apart from the wonderful "MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE" that is)
