    • Trivia
      Although the film received only mixed reviews, John Sturges got a rave from the one source that really mattered to him. After seeing the picture, Akira Kurosawa was so impressed, he sent the American director a ceremonial sword as a gift.
    • Goofs
      The knife used by Britt appears to be a stiletto switchblade (automatic opening knife with locking mechanism). This kind of weapon was brought from Italy only in the '50s which is about 100 years later than the action of this movie.
    • Quotes

      [Calvera has just captured the Seven]

      Calvera: What I don't understand is why a man like you took the job in the first place, hmm? Why, huh?

      Chris: I wonder myself.

      Calvera: No, come on, come on, tell me why.

      Vin: It's like a fellow I once knew in El Paso. One day, he just took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. I asked him that same question, "Why?"

      Calvera: And?

      Vin: He said, "It seemed to be a good idea at the time."

      And Introducing Horst Buchholz
    • Alternate versions
      The German theatrical release differs from the German VHS video in the scene where the magnificent seven have been taken by surprise and have to put down their weapons on the table. Chico is the last one and stands in enragement. In the theatrical version he then nevertheless unstraps his belt like the others. In the VHS video version Chris jumps at Chico just in that moment when he wants to pull the gun. Chris takes his gun and puts it on desk. Then Chico unstraps his belt.

    A brilliant classic, beautifully scored, shot and acted.
    A wonderful classic beautifully scored and shot.

    There are so many moody looks between characters, and little movements or idiosyncrasies that just make each of the gunmen seem so real. Apparently, there were big egos behind the camera that caused these acts of showmanship, but unlike most films where the egos clash, here they just build the characters up without harming them.

    Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen are just wonderful, and James Coburn and Charles Bronson both put in equal performances. There's just nothing about this film that you can fault, the script is kept light when required and the stunning score lifts up and the acting is huge but never too much. This is a must see…again and again.
