Good Looking But Unsatisfying
27 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Chuck Conners (who's always great) leads his group of good old rebels all the way to South America, into a nameless country where they're paid by a tyrannical general (and Charles Manson lookalike) to go to a rival town and report back whether or not the place will roll over easily if invaded.

Once there, they realize the place is quite peaceful and defenseless, tempting some of Conner's men to stay.

This is low-budget but well made with good locations, though it's soon hijacked by a silly subplot involving one of Chuck's nitwit boys becoming lovesick (after a minute or so) over a local girl, despite the fact that neither of them speak each other's languages!

To further ruin things, Chuck Conner's is then banished from the town by mayor Caesar Romero due to a second silly subplot involving a gypsy girl and then promptly hung by the evil general! Did his contract run out before shooting ended?!

This is well directed throughout but the final battle between the towns is poorly staged and not worth seeing since Chuck got killed!
