El condor trailer
El Condor is a 1970 western film directed by John Guillermin.
Contents
Jim Brown and Lee Van Cleef lead a band of Apaches (including Iron Eyes Cody) against a fortress commanded by Patrick O'Neal. The fortress is said to contain the gold reserves of Emperor Maximilian.
The movie was shot in 35mm Technicolor in Almería, Spain, and involved the construction of the huge adobe fortress set that was re-used in later films, including Conan the Barbarian (1982) and March or Die (1977)'.
El Condor was among the first movies rated R (for violence, explicit language, and nudity).

The movie was released on a fullscreen VHS in 1994, and a widescreen DVD by Warner Archive in 2009.
Critical reaction
Roger Ebert's review of August 27, 1970 in the Chicago Sun-Times began: "Lee Van Cleef's last words in 'El Condor' are, 'What am I doing here?' Amen, brother."
