This movie has to be one of the best movie I've ever seen in a very long time. Sean Connery did a great job along with Michael Caine... Keep your eyes open for this one.. Really good.

This movie is a bit long, but is pretty darn good. It is one of Sean Connery's better movies.

An excellent wish-fulfillment fantasy tale. The Asian highlands setting is great. The women are beautiful. I have never seen Connery or Caine better. It is hilarious, has some good action, but ...

This movie suffers from identity issues. I couldn't figure out if it wanted to be drama, action, or comedy and it's boring and far too unbelievable. Christopher Plummer is wasted in this movie and I still don't know why he was chosen for this role. This is a poorly written story that could have been great... *** Spoiler Alert *** There are unbelievable action scenes where people are simply standing around doing nothing. For instance, Sean Connery, mounted and armed only with a sword, is taking on an entire army of spears and archerers. Surrounded, he is swinging his sword wildly, yet not one person armed with a spear has the initiative to stab him? Also, after they are revealed, they are simply allowed to walk calmly out of the temple before being chased? Oh, and travelling through the Khyber Pass, without a guide, through blizzards, dragging their own supplies. Um, yeah.

The First Half of the movie was bad, it later became interesting to watch, but I didn't care in the way they portrayed the villagers.
