VHS Movie Reviews of Chuka [VHS]
Movie Review: Big Nod for Rod, but Yukka Chuka
Summary: 3 Stars
Amazon rocks. DVD - excellent condition - played well - Speedy delivery. As for the movie itself: great acting by all major players. Downfall: Waiting entire movie for leading couple who finally find each other again to rekindle romance, and we get 8 seconds of a very edited scene of nothing. I mean, we are talking macho sexy Rod Taylor and luscious Luciana Paluzzi - and their scene together is a mere blip in the film. Movie had great potential but ending is vague and disappointing.
Summary of Chuka [VHS]
Rod Taylor co-produced the 1967 Chuka and stars as the titular gunslinger whose lonely path leads to a U.S. Army outpost manned by foul-ups, degenerates, and a half-mad, alcoholic commander (John Mills). Surrounded by starving Arapaho Indians clearly getting ready to massacre the fort's inhabitants, Mills' character, Colonel Valois, refuses to yield to Chuka's demand that everyone clear out and allow the Arapaho to take provisions they need to survive. With Valois drunk and unbending, a creepy second-in-command (Louis Hayward) leading a mutiny, a two-fisted sergeant (Ernest Borgnine) defending Valois against any criticism, and the presence of two Mexican women (one of whom has a romantic past with Chuka) who will not be spared during a slaughter, Chuka does what he can to broker a peaceful way out of the dilemma. Directed by Gordon Douglas (The Detective), Chuka is self-consciously arty (camera angles turn up in the weirdest of places) yet dramatically enthralling. Very much an actor's vehicle that, on the one hand, allows the likes of James Whitmore to wallow in mannerisms, Chuka also features several startlingly emotional scenes. Among them is the aftermath of a brutal fight between Taylor and Borgnine, in which their bloodied characters--too exhausted to speak--communicate mutual respect by pawing at each other's heads, like infant brothers. --Tom KeoghWesterns VHS Video
