Breakheart Pass by the DVD Man

Breakheart Pass is an old fashioned 1970's western that has Charles Bronson riding to the rescue through the snow, blasting with dynamite and fighting on the top of a movie train.

It's legendary stuntman Yakima Canutt's final movie credit and if you look closely, you'll see Yakima stunt-doubling for Bronson in the train fight.

It's got gratuitous Richard Crenna as a corrupt Govenor and Ben Johnson at his crinkly cowboy best as a corrupt Sherrif and Charles Durning as the corrupt train conductor.

It's Bronson against the world! What else do you want? Well, how about excellent Jerry Goldsmith music and uber-gratuitous Joe Kapp and Archie Moore (ArchMO) as corrupt chefs?
