Action & Adventure

Not a sequel to Richard Harris' A Man Called Horse as is sometime alleged, 1971's Man in the Wilderness nonetheless bears a marked resemblance to that earlier film. Star Harris plays a trapper who joins a Northwest Territory expeditionary group. Left for dead after running afoul of a grizzly bear, Harris struggles to regain his strength and exact vengeance against John Huston, the man who deserted him. Flashbacks reveal who Harris is and how he's come to this. Man in the Wilderness alternates between a blood-spattered retribution tale and a gutsy one-man show for frostbitten Richard Harris. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

John Chang is at least one of the Two Wondrous Tigers in this Kung Fu-fest. The film progresses along the lines of an American western: a gang of miscreants take over a small town and terrorize the locals. No one dares stand up to the villains because of their martial-arts prowess. No one, of course, except hero Chang. It's amazing how these nonstop actioners manage to come up with fresh new methods of mayhem at every turn. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

No man can defeat his kendo skills-but this causes everyone to wonder if he is in fact a ninja himself. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
