'A GRITTY AND WELL MADE WESTERN FROM THE EARLY 70'S'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2016
Verified Purchase
Screen Legend 'Burt Lancaster' leads the cast-list in this gritty and well made 1972 Western which based upon factual events.
Lead Cast -
McIntosh - Burt Lancaster
Lt Garnett Debuin - Bruce Davidson
Ulzana - Joaquin Martinez
Ke-Ni-Kay - Jorge Luke
Sergeant - Richard Jaeckel
When Ulzana' and a small band of Braves including his Son break out of 'San Carlos Indian Reservation' the Commander of Fort
Lowell 'Captain Gates' orders that a patrol hunts down the renegade Apache, he assigns the young and inexperienced Lieutenant
'Garnett Debuin' accompanied by around 20 troops, Army Scout 'McIntosh' and 'Indian Scout 'Ke-Ni-Kay' to give chase and bring
'Ulzana' and his Braves back to the Reservation.
However ahead of the pursuing troops 'Ulzana' is cutting a terrifying and brutal trail of killings in his wake targeting Homesteaders.
The Lieutenant struggles to understand the ways of the Apache after seeing the results of their deeds will do well to listen to the
advice and thoughts of his experienced scout 'McIntosh' who knows that 'Ulzana's' violence can only be defeated by violence.
At the end of the day it will come down to kill or be killed there will be no middle ground.
The tactics of 'Ulzana' make him a formidable opponent.
A well made and convincing Western that includes many familiar faces among the cast list frequently seen in films of the genre
throughout the 60's into the early 70's.
Well worth a viewing or indeed a revisit.
(A fellow reviewer reminded me of this Gem quite recently, glad he did, been a while since last viewing it)

LONDON NINJA.
Good movie, but bad editing and music
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2016
Verified Purchase
OK... This is one of 3 revisionist Westerns Burt Lancaster made
about the same time in the early 1970s. This movie, Lawman
and Valdez is Coming... And this film stands out among them
all, as it is an allegory for the Vietnam war, and US involvement
in other countries. That being said, it is a dark and pessimistic
vision of the old west, and somewhat uncomfortable at times to
watch. The Apache warriors are not noble savages, but just
savage. They rape and kill, for no other reason, that they can.

This is a film that turns the South West of America into a vision
of hell, and has a dark nihilistic ending. I'd say this is a good
western, as it goes against the grain of the Hollywood movies
at the time, although the early 1970s films were dark in tone
this movie seems to say "life is useless".

Burt Lancaster gives another great performance. He seemed to
get better with age, but this copy is let down by bad editing, or
should I say, bad chopping. A lot of scenes are cut due to cruelty
to animals, for their horse "trip-wiring" effects. This makes some
action scenes look bad, and slightly confusing. I don't know why
they cut these scenes out, as this technique isn't used any more,
but they have... Also... the Music score is HORRIBLE. It seems to
have come from another movie, and has no or little place in the film.

All said and done, this DVD is for the hardcore Westerns fans and
fans of 1970s movies, of which I am both.

My favourite western, no holds barred and totally politically incorrect
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2018

My favourite western, no holds barred and totally politically incorrect. I especially approve of Burt Lancaster when the lieutenant asks him if he hates the Apaches. No, he replies, hating doesn't help you to deal with them. I don't hate the rattlesnakes. But I'm mighty careful when they are around. Homespun philosophy but very true: I frequently quote this to my wife, when we talk about her awful grasping relatives.

Good Viewing DESPITE !!!!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2013
Verified Purchase
I first saw this film many years ago and thought it would be a good addition to my collection (something to watch when the TV programs are crap) But I was disappointed to find that some of the more violent scenes had been cut !. and in a couple of occasions quite clumsily done, so as to be obvious that something was missing. I think this has been done to gain the 15 rating (another instance of being too PC). However I did enjoy watching it again despite the annoying editing.
Next time I order a Western I'll try to find out if the copy is an uncut version. I think the British public are let down by this Big Brother approach by the film censors

WARNING: This DVD is the cut version - Scenes showing forses falling have been chopped
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2012
Verified Purchase
I have been looking for an uncut version of Ulzana's Raid for a long time, and took a chance on this one hoping it would be OK.

However, it is not. The film has had vital moments removed because they show horses being tripped (using wires I assume).

To be absolutely clear, here is an example of how it has been cut. There is a scene where Lancaster rides in pursuit of Ulzana's son and another Indian who are trying to loop back behind the soldiers. Lancaster jumps off his horse and starts to shoot, hitting Ulzana's son first, which is shown.

However the effects of further shots by Lancaster are not shown as they show horses being hit and falling. So you get the rest of the scene where Lancaster is shooting with no pictures of the effects of his shots. This does not make sense to the casual viewer who may not realise the importance of him shooting the horses to deny Ulzana mobility. It is a real downer as these moments are crucial to the understanding of the movie.

The search goes on for an uncut version of this much underrated movie.
