Three years after the surprise hit "The Wild Bunch" by Sam Peckinpah, director Daniel Mann got two of Peckinpah's leading actors of the time for his film and supplemented them with some Western veterans such as Woody Strode, Jorge Martínez de Hoyos, Arthur Hunnicutt and Susan Hayward in a revenge story in Mexico.
Tough and thrillingly staged late Western from the early seventies that draws on the successful formula of "The Dirty Dozen" for its revenge story. William Holden gathers half a dozen outlaws around him for his personal campaign, among them his "The Wild Bunch" companion Ernest Borgnine.
