When Quintero (Fernando Rey), a Mexican revolutionary leader, is left to rot in jail by the forces of President Diaz, it's up to his subordinate, Max (Reni Santoni), to bust him out. With $600 in hand, he crosses the border into America and hires Chris Adams (George Kennedy), a mercenary of considerable skill, who uses the rest of the cash on more hired guns. After the team is rounded out by experts on close-combat fighting, explosives and knife-throwing, they set off to free Quintero.

La deuxième suite des Sept Mercenaires change l'intégralité de son casting pour ne pas changer grand-chose en fin de compte. Beaucoup moins long et moins détaillé que les précédents, on retrouve tout de même Chris Adams (sous les traits de George Kennedy, plutôt bon) qui assemble une équipe pour sauver des villageois mexicains. Tout se centre sur une fusillade finale qui n'est pas inoubliable mais qui réussit tout de même à assurer l'essentiel. James Whitmore et Bernie Casey sortent du lot tandis que le bad guy est à peine existant. Si les Colts des Sept Mercenaires n'est pas un grand film, c'est un western tout à fait acceptable et un bon divertissement.

Guns of the Magnificent Seven has a better ensemble than the other sequels (not counting the newest), but it ultimately feels formulaic and slapped together. This at times causes tonal dissonance (see the scene where the blaring theme song halts when the Seven come across villagers who were hanged from telephone poles, then the music picks right back up as they move along like nothing happened). Joe Don Baker's and Bernie Casey's character arcs are totally predictable. This film is too similar to the original to really justify its existence.

160130: The biggest problem with this film, other than the occasional flaw, is the pace. She just putts along, not quite quick enough, not quite exciting enough. Michael Ansara, as Col. Diego, makes a great villain. Decent film but following in awful big footsteps.

Well the recasting is weird. George Kennedy and Yul Bryner are nothing alike. Still, this is a great cast and fun sequel. better than the last one.
