“Easily one of the least-known western movies in history to pair two great actors against one another, THE LAST HARD MEN is a painfully underrated sagebrush saga that at first might seem old-fashioned but turns out to be a very timely meditation on the final days of the West.”   Eric North, Amazon Reviews  

"THE LAST HARD MEN has the hard-edged feel of a Sam Peckinpah or Walter Hill shoot-‘em-up. Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen ("McClintock," "The Devil's B rigade," "Chisum"), this gritty western rivals "The Wild Geese" as the best film McLaglen ever made.  Chuck O’Leary, Online Reviews 

The Last Hard Men (1976) DVD — Charlton Heston, James Coburn, B arbara Hershey and Michael Parks; Musical Score by Jerry Goldsmith

Synopsis : "The Last Hard Men" is a handsomely made and tough Western that was barely promoted by 20th Century Fox and denounced as "too violent" by many wimpy critics back in 1976. In this underrated oater, James Coburn plays a half-breed convict who escapes with several fellow prisoners from a chain-gang in the American Southwest circa 1909. Seeking revenge, Coburn and his scuzzy gang then kidnap the daughter ( B arbara Hershey) of the retired lawman (Charlton Heston) who put him behind bars. This forces Heston out of retirement as he tracks the outlaws and attempts to save his daughter. Much criticism was given to the fact that Coburn and his gang threaten to rape Hershey throughout the movie. B ut let's be honest, if this situation really happened in the real Old West, it's only realistic that the threat of rape would exist. The film also has the same underlying theme of "The Wild B unch": We're given glimpses of Model-T cars and telegraphs, which signals the coming of technological advances that will soon render violent men like Coburn and Heston obsolete.
