Atrocious and proof, if proof were needed,
why movie franchises aren't always a good thing; indeed, if this is
anything to go by, sequels and franchises of any kind are mostly to be
avoided. In fact, the only resemblance "The Magnificent Seven Ride!" has
to Sturges' classic is in having seven so-called 'heroes' fighting some
Mexican bandits and in stealing the title. Otherwise this is
truly inept.Lee Van Cleef is now the leader but apart from Michael Callan you can forget trying to recall the names of the others. The dialogue is woeful, (or is it just Van Cleef's line readings?), the revenge element unpleasant and the 'direction' of one, George McCowan, virtually non-existent. This is a travesty which should be avoided at all
costs.
