About 50 years I saw the movie in Lido theater Bangalore India --1970 since then I have seen about 50 times, still not satiated..I am so impressed that this movie has become part of my dna. My family members equally like it. Whosoever visited me at Bangalore, were taken to see the Movie, and they came out so awe struck. What an action by law abiding Marshall Gregory Peck and wily Omar Sharif. Film by film it is full of suspense,excitement, action and interest. In India it ran for more than 25 weeks in all metropolis theater in 1970s.I am yet to come across a similar movie. Much I wished to meet my favorite star Gregory Peck--could not fulfill.
Sankaran Subramaniam, thank you for your excellent comment. 👌
Mackenna's Gold is indeed one of the superb movies starring Gregory Peck. The Guns of Navarone is another superb movie starring Gregory Peck.
Thanks V for your response. Yes, Gregory Peck is an exceptional actor-the roles he chose are enlivening and model characters that others would like to follow. Mackenna the marshal is his monumental mega star performance. I can keep on adding ----
Was this movie released in india at 1969?
I live about 8 miles from this area. Most people that go to look for the Apache Gold known as the Peralta Mine end up getting cursed by the Apache Spirits and wind up ill and unable to continue.. It's protected and will never be found... If anyone deserved to find it it was Gregory Peck.. I loved this movie.. I saw it when I was about 9 years old.
Even I too at lido theater, Bangalore, India
Great movie.Saw it in '69 and several times thereafter. You just can't seem to have enough of it, especially the acting by Peck and Sheriff. Good story, good photography and excellent special effects. Guess this movie stands the test of time.
As far as Omar Sheriffs character trying to kill the last two... i say it was greed. When it comes to greed there is never enough to share. This is a teuely great film
the best special effects before Star Wars and the digital era.
Wow what a great movie. I obsessed with this movie from my childhood. Climax is even now unbelievable.
I have been obsessed with this movie since I first saw it in 1967 or 8. It's a total mess, but the interplay between Mackenna and the other characters is fascinating. Also the movie captures the other-worldly nature of the Arizona-Utah canyonlands. The gods do speak to you there.
this is the favorite film of my father;
thank you very much for posting an episode from it!
I agree...a perfectly beautiful movie...especially in wide screen viewing, which I saw in the theater in '69. And remember people,... this is a movie,for Gods' sakes...it's suppose to be pure escapism. That's what you go to the movies for!!!!Loved all the cameo parts in this picture...Edward G Robinson,Keene Wynn,Julie Newmar.."Lurch" from the Adams Family.
Thanks for posting. They have been playing this a lot on Starz Encore Westerns. Great Movie... I watch it a lot.

My dad used to show me these films when I was 11, 12 year old
It’s been 4 years that I came to Europe and missed watching cricket and movies with him
Going back this December, can’t wait to watch with him again
Amezing movie. Aisy movie koi bhi aaj banahi nahin saktha. Meine abtak 50 bar dekhe hai
Yes wonderful movie ,I saw it first day first show in strand theater, at colaba Mumbai, awesome movie ,I myself must have seen it 20 times ,it ran for a year in the same theater with special Dolby sound effect. Classic .even today I will see it if released in Mumbai
I remember this movie when I was Child too Jack in 69 I believe I loved those 2 chicks the blond and the native one...
Very good western movie thank you
The visual effects are really impressive, esp for 1969
This scene was filmed (with many special effects) at Canyon de Chelly. You can walk this trail through the tunnel and down into the canyon, looking down on Spider Rock, which did not fall down!
The Best movie with best sounds 3D
The canyon of El dorado is collapsing they need to get out of there before it collapses and buried alive
I have in my collection full movie in 2 CDs.
I must be remembering it wrong. I hope I can go back there some day.
Wery good
MACKENNA S GOLD,WITH GREGORY PECK,OMAR SHERIF
Colombia's posters called it "the giant of a movie " . Released in 1969 it was a superhit all over India. And whenever it re-released it continued to do great business. But unfortunately the tide had turned for westerns and other films like these and MG turned out to be a flop all over the world; it managed to make money in only a few markets like India and Russia. The younger audience had now embraced a newer type of movie - small, gritty and realistic. An unknown independent movie was a hit that year and the cowboy films gradually faded away. But for a generation of Indians Mckennas Gold will always be the gold standard for action movies - who can forget Peck , Sharif , Savalas and the gang . Long live MG.
Pablic this move mackenna'sgold
Great movie
Milind Pawar
yes, thank you.
I'm sorry but our Navajo guide, Adam Teller showed us the famous tunnel and it does not lead into a canyon nor you can't see Spider Rock from there. At the end of the tunnel there is a wall of sandstone going up. I don't know exactly where you have been but our Navajo guide told us THAT is the tunnel they used for the movie. Spider Rock is further away from it.
By the way, I disagree that the movie is a mess.
Thanks. Really a giant of a movie. This movie was a blockbuster in India and also I believe in many other nations like Russia, Turkey and many parts of Africa. This movie was dubbed in Hindi and I don't know how many other Indian languages. Up until then no Hollywood movie in India gave any local Indian movie a run for the money like this movie did. About 40 years ago ( I vaguely recall) I saw this movie in Mumbai and I was really awestruck by the special effects as no Indian movie ( including the Indian epic Sholay) until then even came remotely close to such stunning effects like the earthquake scene etc. Actually, the earthquake scene was created in a small room with toy mountains, etc ( I read it in a magazine ).
This is a Hollywood movie but very curiously, this international hit was a flop in the U.S so much so that many Americans don't even know about the existence of this movie. This is as far as my information goes and I may be wrong. The movie was criticized very heavily by senior movie critics in America pointing to its technical flaws ( just imagine!) and gaps and gaffes in the logical progression of the movie, as a result, the movie was junked. Indeed, it appears there are some subtle logical fallacies in the storyline and the technical effects. Another interesting tidbit is that the makers of this movie were found to be men with leftist leanings and perhaps that too could have played into the unfortunate fate of this epic adventure.
thumb's up, and thank you for your excellent comment.
An excellent movey since 45yrs iam seeing.but notyet satisfied. oplease tell me whether it was dubbed in telugu?
I have a dvd

I have always had a Question . The Soldier Tibbs loaded the Saddle Bags of his Horse with Gold . How could it keep up with the extra weight? I figured that it would fall behind "Big time". That is the Horse Mackenna got onto.
I'm a Navajo live around Canyon De Chelly area believe there is no tunnel and gold, it's just made up movie
James Burbank--It's based on old legends.
This was about the Superstitions Mountains not Canyon De Chelly.. The legend of the Old Dutchman.
lol lighten up... its a movie... a fun movie.
