What happens

Return of the Seven, later marketed as Return of the Magnificent Seven, is a 1966 Western film, and the first sequel to The Magnificent Seven (1960). Yul Brynner, who reprises his role as Chris Adams, is the sole returning cast member from the original film, while Robert Fuller, Julián Mateos and Elisa Montés replace Steve McQueen, Horst Buchholz and Rosenda Monteros as Vin Tanner, Chico and Petra respectively. The film was written by Larry Cohen and directed by Burt Kennedy, and features Warren Oates, Claude Akins, Jordan Christopher and Virgílio Teixeira. Emilio Fernández is the villain. Fernando Rey portrays a priest. Rey was in the next film, Guns of the Magnificent Seven, as a different character. Kennedy called the film "all right; we didn’t have much of a budget or any big-name actors except Yul Brynner, but it was all right." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
