Customer Reviews of Emperor of the North
Cult Film Lee Marvin Is a Legend in his own right. We often see repeats of the Dirty Dozen, Emperor ofthe North is equally as good, but not seen in TV film anymore.
An excellent film, but where's the DVD?
Emperor Of The North is one of my favorite films of all time. I have my VHS copy, but when the hell will they realease this on DVD? I love trains, and the Depression-era setting makes it that much more enjoyable. The locomotives were at their peak and the sound of a train whistle is something to be heard. Lee Marvin play his character of A-No.1 perfectly, complimented by Keithe Carradine as Cigaret. Earnest Borgnine plays an sadistic conductor, and does it perfectly. I reccomend this one for any Borgnin, Marvin or Carradine fans, as well as anyone who loves a great depression-era story. And be prepared for the final showdown between Borgnine and Marvin, It's so cruel, it's brilliant.
A number 1
This is a great movie. It is about a really vicious conductor on a train that is a legend for never having had a hobo ride his route. He meats out his law and order by basically sadistically killing the hobos he catches trying to ride his train. He does this most of the time by bashing in their head with a ballpine hammer.

>Enter hobo A #1 Lee Marvin. It seems that everybody despises the conductor, played by Ernest Borgnine marvelously, so much that even the men that work under him fear him and want to get back at him. They hatch a scheme to make a challenge that the greatest hobo around A #1 says he can and will ride The Shack's (Borgnine) train.

>There is a subplot with a young arrogant hobo want to be Kieth Carradine that A #1 takes under his wing. This movie is just plain fun. Has a great story, great characters and is a great movie. Check it out.
