The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a small border town in Texas that struggles with Mexican bandits crossing the border, doing what they want and crossing back into Mexico. Their behavior has led the town to be filled with nothing but farmers and widows. Chris comes to town and feels bad for the widows and farmers but has little resources to fight the bandits. He decides to head to the local prison, grab whatever men are in there and give them an opportunity to do something besides stare at each other all day.
This movie is directed by George McCowan (Frogs) and stars Lee Van Cleef (Escape from New York), Ralph Waite (The Bodyguard), Stefanie Powers (Herbie Rides Again), Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon), Ed Lauter (Cujo), James Sikking (Hill Street Blues) and Allyn Ann McLerie (All the President's Men).
The storyline for this is very straightforward and a bit cliché, but the settings, props and attire were perfect. Lee Van Cleef was awesome in this role and is always fun in westerns. The final shootout was great and easily my favorite part of the movie. The ending definitely gave me a good laugh. This is a stepdown from the previous films but is still entertaining and worth a viewing.
Overall this was a perfect film to end the series with. Lee Van Cleef was awesome but not good enough to carry the film. I would score this a 6/10 and only recommend it to western genre fans.
