"Return of the Seven" (also "Return of the Magnificent Seven"), is the first sequel to the 1960 western, "The Magnificent Seven". Made in 1966, Yul Brynner is the sole returning cast member from the first film, portraying Chris Adams.

Robert Fuller assumes the role of Vin from Steve McQueen. Various stories say that McQueen was either too busy a star in 1966, that Brynner wanted him back but McQueen hated the script, or that Brynner disliked him and refused to have him in the film.fact|date=May 2007

The film was written by Larry Cohen and directed by Burt Kennedy, and features Warren Oates, Claude Akins, Jordan Christopher, and Julian Mateos (as Chico, replacing Horst Buchholz). Emilio Fernandez is the villain. Fernando Rey portrays a priest. Rey was in the next film, "Guns of the Magnificent Seven", as a different character.

Since the movie was filmed in Spain, this film may be considered, along with "Guns of the Magnificent Seven", as a European or spaghetti western.

Reception

The film was critically panned, with industry journal "Variety" calling it "unsatisfactory ... plodding, cliche-ridden". [ [http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117794430.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&p=0 Reviews - Return of the Seven] , Variety, retrieved 2007-05-30.] However, composer Elmer Bernstein received an Academy Award nomination for his score.
