Wow! I didn't know I'd seen so many of his films. From Guns of Navarone to Death Wish 4, what a career curve! Mackenna's Gold is a mad over the top western, everything but the kitchen sink thrown in, I love it, a guilty pleasure favorite.
Rankings (top 3)
1)The Guns of Navarone (1961)
2)MacKenna's Gold (1969)
3)Cape Fear (1962)
Average Rating 2.6 out of 5

Didn't realise I was so lacking on J Lee Thompson films. ;)
I'll have to check out Mackenna's Gold from Steve's list & North West Frontier from Mario's.

-"Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects"-1 and 1/2 stars

-"Murphy's Law"-2 and 1/2 stars

I like "Murphy's Law" better because it has Kathleen Wilhoite in it. I feel she's a rather underrated actress who can make even the worst movies just a little better by her performances.

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

And she looks good, too.
