Goofs

At no time was there ever a Fort Humboldt in the State or Territory of Nevada. There was a Fort Humboldt in the present-day city of Eureka, California, but that was on the Pacific Coast, far away from the gold and silver mining activity in the Sierras and from the native range of the Paiute Indians.

good, solid western
28 July 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The movie is a little too long, the plot isn't the greatest, and it "drags" here and there, but all the actors are excellent - Richard Crenna and Ben Johnson in particular. Charles Bronson does what he does best - be Charles Bronson. It has good stunts, and plenty of action - what you expect from a Western. To me the main item of interest is that Yakima Canutt, the first great movie stuntman, and later a great stunt coordinator, was the 2nd unit director. It was his last movie. He died the next year - 1976. He started in silent movies, worked with John Wayne on many occasions, and staged the chariot race in the nine-Oscar winning "Ben Hur." It's fitting that his last movie was a Western.
