Description:Link (Charles Bronson) and Gauche (Alain Delon) and their gang rob a train, taking money and a ceremonial sword that the Japanese minister was taking to give to the President. Gauche betrays Link and attempts to kill him and kills one of the samurai guarding the sword. Link joins up with Kuroda, another samurai, to find Gauche. At first they are adversaries but come to respect each other. Along the way, they stop by a brothel and pick up Cristina (Ursula Andress), Gauche's girl, to lure him. First they have to fight off a band of Comanches. Gauche then kills Kuroda, and Link kills Gauche. Link doesn't get the money, but in Kuroda's honor, he does return the sword to the Japanese ambassador.

Review - Red Sun

Some potential here—watching a Japanese warrior fight cowboys and Indians. But I thought the action was unconvincing somehow. Bronson's character was definitely an anti-hero and I never found myself rooting for him.
