Other than that, however, the Magnificent Seven was such an absolutely great western that it hardly mattered whether or not Horst Buchholz had a German accent, in my opinion. It was a larger-than-life story, and I think it should be viewed the way one watches one of those spectacular "Easterns" such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Don't fret about whether this or that scene is "realistic"...just enjoy the drama to the fullest.
