Editorial Review:
Little known outside Europe, this picaresque spaghetti Western is among the most entertaining of the breed. Tomas Milian plays Cuchillo ("little knife"), an irrepressible scamp at large in post-Juarista Mexico who becomes custodian of a secret: where to find the fortune in gold meant to bankroll the people's revolution against the repressive Diaz regime. Now, Cuchillo is not politically minded. Cassidy (Donal O'Brien), a Texas gunfighter, used to be, but he's weary of fighting noble battles and wouldn't mind having that gold himself. Both characters wrestle with their inconvenient better instincts while tilting with a variety of adversaries. Directed by Sergio Sollima (The Big Gundown), Run, Man, Run! boasts an elegant mise en scène almost worthy of Leone. The exuberant score is by Ennio Morricone, no matter what the credits say, and Milian's theme song became an anthem for student protestors in 1968. John Ireland contributes a charismatic cameo as a populist generale. --Richard T. Jameson
SERGIO SOLLIMA'S 'SPAGHETTI WESTERN' CLASSIC!
The legendary Tomas Milian (FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE, TRAFFIC) stars as Cuchillo, a knife-throwing thief on the run from murderous bandits, sadistic American agents, his hot-blooded fiance (Chelo Alonso) and a sheriff turned bounty hunter (Donal O'Brien), all of whom are gunning for a hidden fortune in gold that could finance the Mexican Revolution.
Co-writer/director Sergio Sollima (REVOLVER, VIOLENT CITY) packs this epic Western with bold politics, shocking violence, bravura performances (including John Ireland as General Santillana) and a brilliant score by Bruno Nicolai and Ennio Morricone. RUN MAN RUN has been fully restored from original vault materials and is presented uncut and uncensored for the first time ever in America.

Rating: - One of the best spaghettis from a different Sergio
While Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci get much of the attention from spaghetti fans, and deservedly so, director Sergio Sollima had his fair share of quality spaghetti westerns, and this sequel to The Big Gundown may be the best one. Picking up where TBG left off, Cuchillo is arrested for running away from a soldier even though he didn't do anything, and thrown in a cell with Ramirez, a revolutionary leader who preaches peace. Cuchillo helps him escape, but when they run into a bandit gang, Ramirez ... Read More

Rating: - One of the best non-Leone spaghetti westerns
While Run Man Run is often cited as the inferior sequel to The Big Gundown, I think it is actually a superior film. The Big Gundown is a much more formulaic movie, and although Run Man Run does not have Lee Van Cleef, Donal O'Brien holds his own in this movie and is not overly derivative of other spaghetti western characters. This movie is pretty funny and is more effective as a comedy than the Trinity movies. In addition, the theme song has a beautiful rousing melody that provides Run Man Run with an ... Read More
Rating:  - Ok... Nothing like it's predecesor
I bought this film shortly after I saw The Big Gundown. I was hoping it would be as good but it wasn't. I wasn't bad but some of it was lame. Tomas Milian was funny at times with his Cuban accent when he was cursing. As in The Big Gundown, you don't get to see too many knife throwing scenes but the ones seen where cool. If you can locate, get The Big Gundown. The DVD quality is fantastic as all of Blue Underground releases.
Rating: - You'd Better Run
Italy cranks out another great western and further proves why they're better at films about the wild west than the Americans are. The plot on a whole isn't terribly original, but there's enough cleverness sprinkled throughout the film. The always lovable Tomas Milian's a Mexican bandit who holds the key to 3 million in gold. On his search for it, he's persued by just about everyone under the sun including bounty hunters, mexican revolutionaries, a badazz gunslinger, a chick from the salvation army, ... Read More
