    I saw this in a really big-screen theater as a kid, and yikes! So by the time they got around to Ahnuld as Terminator, I was all "whatevs".


    Yul had a tendency to overact and declaim etc. etc. etc. :) but in this flick he did a wonderful job of stillness, blankness, and was so effective at it.

    It even beats Alien.

    This movie was the scariest movie I saw when I was 6. I was petrified of Yul Brenner in this film. It didn't matter how fast you ran away from him, because he would slowly walk up and cap you.


    Watching the movie now is a little painful, but his parts still work.

    @NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: Watching The Magnificent Seven I think enhanced the scariness, for me. Cold, deadly accurate, and would just keep coming -- a Terminator prototype if there ever was one!

    @NefariousNewt: Funny I never put the two together. Probably because I didn't see Seven until I was 15, and by then I was just entranced with how cool Steve Mcqueen was.

    @NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: I was about 11, and he scared the crap out of me. I'd seen "Magnificent Seven", so I got the full effect.


    Didn't put me off Yul Brynner, though -- I watch some of "The Ten Commandments" every spring.
