This is one of the best films. I saw it back when it was actually at the movies. It was a great movie. Coburn is the coolest in anything he does. His shoes will be forever empty. This is a great classic sleeper and everytime I recommend it to anyone they come back with that was a great film. Brillant. There is an other film that Coburn did which is called A Reason to Live and Reason To Die where he is like a dirty dozen in the Civil War and he has to capture some gold in a Confederate Fort.
Yes I think this is in my top 5. I took a chance on this movie and I couldnt believe how people slept and continues to sleep on this, I can watch this movie over and over!!!
Wicked, top drawer, absolute belter of a film--saw it first in early 90's and was blown away by plot, sound and acting. Very powerful and moving piece of music!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
Free energy is finaly here!But the Oil coporations life depends on covering this up,Check this free energy magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be the revolution!
Its sad when all the rebielion is killed in the caves, i felt so sorry for him at that moment cos they did there best 2 stop the convo then got betrayed and his hole family was killed...
@Dezzieatwell I think Coburn is unike.. His role is usually anti-hero bastard, never really acts James Bondlike hero. whitch is good. One of my favorite actors.
@Dezzieatwell if you love Coburn in this one, check out "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid". i watched it for the first time about two weeks ago. amazing movie. but i'm partial to this one. this music sounds almost other worldly. not like anything i ever heard.
Livegrenade is correct about the guilt, but it is left to your imagination as to whether John turned Sean in out of jealousy or he killed his best friend because he was an informant.
i believe they are saying "sean". i think guilt is a major element of the film, with coburn thinking repeatedly of the friend he killed. he deserved it though, fuckin snitch.
The chorus is indeed singing "Sean, Sean, Sean". But why? Johns friend that is seen in the flashbacks is named Sean.
(OI, MAJOR SPOILER HERE!)
Due to Johns jeoulusy over their shared love triangle with another woman. John betrayes Sean to the British. Sean is tortured, and he leads the British to John whos in a bar. John shoots all of them, and thus our story begins in Mexico.
Seans ghost follows him though, and haunts him with the flashbacks. The music is Sean uttering his name.
Back in 1973, I would sing schome schome schome... but a friend of mine once said it was John John, since the guy's name is John. But somebody said it was Sean, another character in the film. I confess I haven't seen it, although I have the torrent. Shame!

A radio station in Montreal with the call letters CHOM uses this melody in their advertising. To me the singing will always sound like "schome".
