"The Grand Duel is a fairly well made spaghetti western with the usual revenge theme of a man falsely accused of murder.There are some good stunts in the film, along with a lot of gratuitous violence and some brief nudity.Overall a pretty fair example of the genre."

"The movie itself (plot, acting, etc.) is good - Lee van Cleef at his usual excellence. But the "quality" of the VHS cassette is below any acceptable standard. On the video side, there are scratches and other blemishes throughout the length of the movie. On the audio side, the sound track is so bad that over half of the dialogue is unintelligble - just a lot of cackle, crackle, and noise. The poor quality of the VHS destroys any enjoyment one would otherwise get from a good western."

"This movie, "The Grand Duel," is not a new title on the original, "The Big Gundown." I watched "The Big Gundown," during the western channels Lee Van Clef month a few weeks ago, and although they are both spaghetti westerns they are not the same movie. "The Big Gundown" is MUCH MUCH better but doesn't appear to be on video yet."
Lee Van Cleef always good, particularly in Westerns, but thi

"Beware the 'Passion Productions' copies
of this original 1971 Italian/German
production! Fine film overall, but no-
where near as good as w/ Eastwood in
For a Few Dollars More. Might be worth
getting for Lee Van Cleef fans. Also,
check out Armed Response, one of his
last, The Octogon, w/ Chuck Norris
and Escape From New York, w/ Kurt
Russell!"
