Movie Reviews of Chuka
Movie Review: Very Unusual Western
Summary: 4 Stars
Rod Taylor plays a gunslinger named CHUKA (he was raised by a Chuck Wagon cook...and nicknamed chuka boy by the cowboys). He is on the trail during a winter storm and comes across a group of starving Indians. He shares their fire and gives them what little food he has. He leaves and finds refuge at a Cavalry Fort run by John Mills (an ex-British Officer and his SGT....Ernest Borgnine). Also at the fort is his long lost love and her niece. Chuka tells Mills that the Indians are starving and will attack the fort to get food. The plot thickens with other characters in the fort. Not a great movie but very entertaining and a pretty good "shoot-em-up". Worth buying for it's differences from other westerns.Movie Review: Rod Taylor At His Best
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie a long time ago when I was a kid and really enjoyed it back then (mid 70's). I must say it is everything I remembered. I thought it was a really good western. All the characters are memorable and it is a very compelling and fun movie to watch. Love Taylors character and costume as well as Whitmores as the old grizzled and tough scout. And the friction between the virile Taylor and the impotent Mills is great. And then add to it the hulking Ernest Borgnine who is Mills Sergeant and also the one man who respects and knows Mills and you have one of the best two fisted fight scenes in movie history. Watching Taylor and Borgnine go at it was just a gem.Movie Review: enjoyed this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
although the movie is " dated " any movie in which the American Indians ( Native Americans or The People ) win is a good movie.
Movie Review: Big Nod for Rod, but Yukka Chuka
Summary: 3 Stars
Amazon rocks. DVD - excellent condition - played well - Speedy delivery. As for the movie itself: great acting by all major players. Downfall: Waiting entire movie for leading couple who finally find each other again to rekindle romance, and we get 8 seconds of a very edited scene of nothing. I mean, we are talking macho sexy Rod Taylor and luscious Luciana Paluzzi - and their scene together is a mere blip in the film. Movie had great potential but ending is vague and disappointing.
