''The Magnificent Seven'' is a western retelling (in both senses of the term) of ''[[Seven Samurai|The Seven Samurai]]'' (with a brilliant and memorable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iteRKvRKFA score], to boot).

Line 82:
* [[The Quiet One]] -- ''Two'' of them. James Coburn's character 'Britt' (the knife-thrower), with 11 lines total during the 128 minute-long film; and Robert Vaughn's 'Lee' (the gambler), who has a whopping 16 lines.
** Britt's lines also tend to be ''short.'' In his [[Establishing Character Moment|introductory scene]], he only speaks five words.
* [[Rated MforM for Manly]] -- It's a very macho movie, in a good sense.

* [[Say My Name]] -- [[Invoked]] by Bernardo {{spoiler|as he's dying.}}
