It is not often that you see an "R" rated western. It was even initially banned in Sweden, if you can believe that. But, that was for what was considered excessive violence, including a rape.
But, there was not much violence when you consider the torture porn of today, and there was no nudity, despite Oscar-nominee Barbara Hershey's long history of flashing her breasts in several movies, notably Boxcar Bertha just four years before.
James Coburn plays the role of a tough half-breed that wants to torture Charlton Heston for killing his wife eleven years previous when he was a sheriff. He almost gets his wish, but, hey, this is a western, and you can't ever let the bad guys win.
This is the way they should have all been made.
