Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertSome movies are masterpieces, and most movies are not, and sometimes you get a movie that can best be described as 'interesting.' By that I mean it falls short of excellence but nevertheless has something that makes it worth seeing.
New York Times - 9/10 by Renata AdlerWhile the individual incidents are familiar, they are played with gusto by Lancaster and Davis.
Variety - 9/10 by Variety StaffLancaster and Davis work particularly well together, ditto Savalas and Winters. There are talky periods of slow pace, but they are terminated before undue damage has been done.
Blu-ray.com - 7/10 by Brian OrndorfNavigating the movie's period attitude is relatively easy, but finding its sense of humor takes some work.
Reel Film Reviews - 3/10 by David Nusair...a seriously misguided and hopelessly dated endeavor that's best left forgotten.
User Review - 8/10 by Debbie PThe Scalphunters is a good western with some great comedic moments. Burt Lancaster and Ossie Davis are fantastic and I thought Shelley Winters' character is hilarious. I recomend this movie.
User Review - 8/10 by Morris NNot much comedy, except the whiskey fueled mud fight, in this western. The story of some pelts and the idiots who fought over them. Great avalanche scene. Salavas eats the west.
User Review - 8/10 by Mark SI'm simply amazed at how many of these old westerns turn out to be great movies. Writers back then understood things like character arcs, story, plot, dialogue and pacing. The only special effect in this movie is Telly Savalas - and Shelley Winters is equally great!
User Review - 8/10 by Pauline SFifty percent comedy. Fifty percent western. One hundred percent fun! I stand by my words that almost any movie with Burt Lancaster in it is worth your just so you can here Lancaster speak, and this movie provides him with ample dialogue. Simple plot push forward by stellar performances.
User Review - 8/10 by Ola G131212: This must have been quite the movie in 1968. Obviously someone put some money put into it. I would've loved to have seen its opening. Great stars including Telly Savalas, Burt Lancaster and Shelly Winters. Entertaining story, humour, action you name it. Ossie Davis, as Joseph, plays so well off of all the cast he almost steals the show. He adds some great humour. Especially loved his mimicking of Lancaster's character Joe Bass. This film is due for a remake. Smiles all around.
