Wissenswertes
Toshirô Mifune entertained the cast and crew throughout the entire production with his refined culinary skills, bringing over a supply of Japanese meats, watercress, seaweed, and other ingredients. He would also exchange recipes for French and Italian dishes, including spaghetti.

At the end, when Link Stuart is waiting for the train, he looks at the train coming around the bend. Behind the train, a car can be seen driving along a road near the tracks.

Zitate
Kuroda Jubie: Give me my clothes!
Link Stuart: I'll give you your clothes, but first I want your word of honor that you won't kill Gauche on sight.
Kuroda Jubie: My clothes!
Link Stuart: Your word.
Kuroda Jubie: [angrily speaks Japanese]
Link Stuart: Don't know what the hell that's all about, but it sounds like it's comin' from the heart. Well?
Kuroda Jubie: Give me five minutes with him.
Link Stuart: Not enough.
Kuroda Jubie: One hour. Give me one full hour.
Link Stuart: I need one full day. Kuroda, I need the time to make Gauche take me to the cash. I wanna be sure it's there.
Kuroda Jubie: No!
Link Stuart: All right, you suit yourself.
[Kuroda starts to shiver in the cold]
Link Stuart: Turnin' blue. Won't be long you'll be nothing but a clump of ice. By nightfall you'll be frozen into the landscape, and you'll never avenge your friend or never get your sword. You're gonna end up in Japanese hell, a disgrace to your ancestors.
Kuroda Jubie: You have my word, I will not kill the man until you say.
Link Stuart: [smiles, gives him his clothes back] Don't take it so hard. I think you're one hell of a man.
Kuroda Jubie: I think you are one son of a bitch.

We didn't see this side of Bronson that often.

East meets West in this rather ingratiating period Western. Set in 1860 America, it has a Japanese ambassador (Tetsu Nakamura) traveling by train to meet the President. There, the ambassador will give the President the gift of a special sword. But then bandits including Link (Charles Bronson) and Gauche (Alain Delon) seize control of the train, intending to make off with the loot on board. But the back-stabbing Gauche betrays Link, steals the sword, and rides off into the sunset. Now, a samurai named Kuroda (Toshiro Mifune) must track down the bad man, kill him, and retrieve the sword within seven days, or else commit hara-kiri. Since he and Link both have an interest in Gauche, the two of them team up - albeit reluctantly on Links' part.

Overall, this is good fun, and is capably directed by Terence Young. It was more violent than this viewer expected; while some people will be put off, I didn't mind at all. It's got decent action throughout, with the finale taking place within tall grass as the main characters are attacked by aggressive Comanches. It's also got plenty of sex appeal, as some of the ladies, such as Ursula Andress as Gauches' girlfriend, show off some skin. But what really makes "Red Sun" work to the extent that it does is its humour. The culture clash leads to some real chemistry between Bronson and Mifune. Bronson is especially amusing. We didn't always get to see this kind of performances from him: jovial, smiling, cracking jokes. And he goes to work on manipulating Mifune with a vengeance. Link wants to keep Gauche alive as long as possible so he can find out where the loot is stored, and has to convince Kuroda not to kill him immediately.

Other familiar faces turn up: Anthony Dawson, Luc Merenda, Monica Randall, etc. But if you're a fan of the stars, you'll find that this is primarily a solid vehicle for their abilities. Delon makes for a great villain, looking right at home in Western duds. Putting in a special appearance is another lovely lady, Capucine, who plays Pepita.

While somewhat overlong, "Red Sun" does show the audience a pretty good time.

Seven out of 10.
