- Michael Winner's cynical, violent Vietnam-era western pits stoic lone Apache Charles Bronson against a colorful posse of rapists and murderers led by Jack Palance and a really good cast. "The scream of his victims is the only sound he makes!" was the ad line. TFH Guru John Landis was actually there on the set to provide belated reportage.

What with Landis having worked on Chato's Land, you'd think he'd at least get the basic plot right.
Chato's Land was anything but a "by the numbers" western. It had an incredible cast and a complex plot. The "bad guys", i.e. the posse, were not entirely bad. And Charles Bronson's Chato wasn't entirely good. This is a very underrated western.
Posse member chats are unbelievable.
You took the words out of my mouth. Did he even mention that it was a posse after Bronson? This film has great insight in to the suede-moralistic stance that the white men took back in the west. Calling Indian's savages and yet acting worse. I think it's a great film and John Landis can only recall what Winner was eating. Jesus.
Hes just jealous really its Hollywood bs
one of the very best westerns ever made. sorry i waited so long to see it.
This movie Chato's Land is one of a number of very underrated westerns ... there are several from all eras, such as Valdes is coming / Open Range / The outlaw Josey Whales / Seraphim Falls / Bone Tomahawk ... ... even the "modern" western The three burials of Melquiades Estrada - which is a western in all but name.
Add 'The Beguiled', from an era that had the courage to be brooding, character-driven and uncompromising.
Commenters are all right and he's so damn wrong. Great movie. Clever, well shot, good plot. Almost eerie.
One of a kind movie. Stands the test of time. He was in it but did he ever watch it?
Much better than Landis is describing it.
Sounds like he just wanted to talk shit on Michael winner
Landis is delusional. This was one of my favorite Bronson movies. He was right when he stated that Charles didn't say much the entire movie.
he wrong they don’t murder his wife
He didn't say much either in
Hard Times
Landis must have a beef against this movie because it's surprisingly good.
Raw and wild, cant believe this one passed censoring. Smashes all western movie stereotypes.
he said it isn't a great movie. he is wrong.
BTW, his wife wasn't murdered another Indian was, it's clear she escapes with the kid.
She wasn't murdered. He rescued her.
I have this on DVD, its a great film.
Was Charles Bronson killed in the chatos land
Please tell me.
It IS a great movie, Landis is full of crap. He doesn't even synopsis it right; the rape of his wife doesn't generate the plot, it is the bigotry of the Sheriff right at the start that sets into motion a posse, and the theme is the workings of a posse and the tragedy it generates. It's not 'by the numbers' at all, it has a rare menace to it and strong characterization within the scope that permits, and full of a sense of location so much you can feel and taste the arid desert and share the characters' relentless impending doom. A great study in the escalation of a situation.
Landis is just blowing bubbles, maybe he pulled some cables on the set, otherwise he had nothing to do with "Chato's Land." Guy is a joke.
And you know this how? 😂
"The message in many of my pictures is that war is stupid because it causes more of it," Charles Bronson
Shut Up John! Chato's Land is an utter classic imo
damn right!
I wonder what would have happened if Landis had walked up to Bronson and asked about his quote unquote 'diaper.'
🤕🤛 in da face
landis is an ignorant man. and a murderer.
great movie
"This is a by-the-numbers Western."
He couldn't possibly be more wrong.
I love how Landis pronunces Almeria.
Sorry, Landis. This is the Greatest Western of All Time. The script is brilliant.
Fun movie. Better film than given credit for here.
John Landis ought to talk about the movie The Twilight Zone!
Charles Bronson's only line was " back off lawman"
no, regarding the scout who leads the posse he said also :
"the mexican... pretty good... pretty good."
also few lines in native language.
He also speaks some Apache, which is interesting to hear.
Since Landis said he worked on the the film, what did he actually do?
I think he says he did stunts on this movie?! He can't mean he was a stuntman... just look at him...
@@HC-cb4yp He was young once.
@@Madbandit77 Still, we're talking John Landis. Have you seen his son?
@@HC-cb4yp Don't remind me about him. Nepotism at its worst.
@@HC-cb4yp what are you talking about?!
chatos wife hasn't been killed
the rape scene was insane
Anse Hatfield yep
and it's rated pg
Landis worked in this film but doesn't understand it? This isn't your by the numbers western and Winner was a brilliant thriller and action director.
I love your work, Yul!
Gee, it's lucky Chato wasn't related to Vic Morrow or else John Landis would be screwed.
Murdering scumbag. Why is he not in jail?
Landis was completely wrong on this review. He must have been drunk when he worked on this one.
Landis was a good director, but he doesn't know what a good movie is.
It's very clear that when he calls this movie bad he does so with great affection for it. I think what he means is that bottom line, Chato's Land is another of Michael Winner's very weird and very violent revenge movies, that is very enjoyable but is not necessarily a good movie when compared to higher caliber westerns. I can't say this for sure, it's just a thought. In my opinion, it is a good movie, but I can see what he's getting at.
@@bturner999 no...that's not clear.
Eh buscado esta película y no la encuentro alguien m puede dar el link
Anytime Landis pops up anywhere all you think about is the "Twilight Zone" accident/crime.
Bless your pointy little poorly educated head. 😂
Please show chatos land me
Si una película es buena o no eso es subjetivo ....los críticos de cine aman a godard y la nouvelle vague y hay unas películas q son insoportables como alphaville o el año pasado en marienbad...creo q john landis hace un cine entretenido y eso se agradece ....espero ver chatos land luego ...soy jack cardiff
"I think he might of actually been talented"
Complete waste of Jack Palance’s character at the end. I was looking forward to a final showdown between him & Bronson that would consummate the character arcs that developed throughout the movie but it was not to be 🤷♂️
Well, Landis does talk a lot of rubbish (and his movies on the whole aren't that great or original either - and most definitely not worth dying for. Yes, I too find it appalling that Landis got off so lightly, and the late great Vic Morrow lost his life in such a tragic way, during a very unsafe shot for a lame movie - even a great movie wouldn't have been worth risking an actor's and two children's lives).
His summary of the film gives a completely wrong impression as Chato isn't after them after they've raped and killed his wife, but they are after him after he shot the sheriff (who was about to shoot him) and when they find his wife some of them rape her (while others just look away, and one of them even is against it) but Chato manages to rescue her and his young son (but another young Indian man who lived with them was murdered by the posse). And Charles Bronson has a few lines of dialogue (though admittedly not very much, but who was he supposed to talk to, the rubber cactus'?). And though the movie may be a by the numbers Western on one level, there is definitely more to it, especially if you analyse it in the context of the Vietnam war.
what is it with you pathetic trolls it went to court it was an accident, it happened years ago deal with it and neck the fuck up already.
I like how the arrogance and racism of the Posse ultimately leads them to their doom! It mirrors the USA's experience in Vietnam!
The truth is Winner wasn't interested in film making, he was interested in making money. His early British film 'West 11' was made with a modicum of care & 'Hannibal Brooks' is an enjoyable romp but his American output is characterised by a total disregard for camera set up & editing, the abysmal 'Scream For Help' being the nadir. I watched 'Death Wish 2' again recently, god knows why, like its predecessor it is as dull as ditchwater.
only thing "dull as ditchwater" is your assessment.
great movie
Movie? 2 Minutes?
@@Ponosonoc sure, why not?
see? you asked a stupid question and you got a stupid answer.
