One of the coolest westerns ever. Thanks for reminding me about it. Even though I'm retired I spend a LOT more time at home these days for obvious reasons. Got that movie on DVD almost 10 years ago and I still haven't even put it in the DVD player yet. I'll watch it this week. And speaking of McQueen, who was ultra cool in that movie; I also have a DVD of "Bullit" here that I haven't seen in years. Another McQueen classic.
It was a great movie but it lost 2 points when I discovered that the entire plot was taken from a Japanese movie called 'The Seven Samurai'.
Hollywood, heck the globe film industry, has made its money its entire history by telling and retelling stories from books, the bible, other movies, the headlines..... Very little original, just remakes of other things. It doesn't diminish a well told tale with a new twist in my opinion.

Eli Wallach as Calvera, he played a Mexican bandit better than a Mexican bandit could play a Mexican bandit

When you watch "Bullit", keep track of how many times that VW appears in the chase seen through the city.
