Just watched this today - strange but good !
Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash as ageing and broke gunfighters who, despite becoming friends, decide to hop across the border into Mexico, rent a bull ring, and stage a gunfight for which they sell tickets - winner takes all !
Sounds like a mad idea - but it is a compelling film !
Actually "A Gunfight" - brilliant film, loved it on first viewing and always keep an eye out for it, even though I've got the DVD! Great how the tension builds throughout and you find yourself warming to the pair of them in different ways...
Eric Douglas (Kirk's son) appears in the film as the son of Kirk's character.
I remember reading that a tribe of Apaches put up funding for the movie.
I have seen it billed as both - in fact - looking at my DVD box it it just titled "Gunfight" ! LOL - they just like to confuse us !
Yes, what starts out as an insane idea seems to be almost possible.Great how the tension builds throughout and you find yourself warming to the pair of them in different ways...
I didn't know either of those facts - thank you !Eric Douglas (Kirk's son) appears in the film as the son of Kirk's character.

I don't remember seeing that on the credits - will have to go and watch it again - and pay more attention this time ! (what an excuse !!)![]()
