The Magnificent Seven films or the original at any rate were something I'd been wanting to watch for years and then Channel 5 ran them all one each weekend. By the time I'd watched the second one I was hooked and bought the box set, other than the original I'd have to say that 'Guns of the Magnificent Seven' is my favourite. The characters develop as the film goes on, one of the best changes is that between Cassie (Bernie Cassie) and Slater (Joe Don Baker) though the first scene where we meet Chris is one of my favourites.
All of the characters are ones that I liked and this film is far superior to the later 'The Magnificent Seven ride' which I thought was a poor last film. The end of the battle scene where you have the jubilation of the Mexican villagers mixed with a shot of each dead member of the seven is a particularly nice final touch. Something I would recommend to every fan of the original to watch.
