The Scalphunters (1968)

Burt Lancaster is like the paperboy in Better Off Dead, except instead of $2.00, Burt is willing to do whatever it takes to get back the furs he’d been collecting all season, taken by a group of Kiowas and then stolen by the titular scalphunters. In the meantime, he’s been somewhat burdened with intelligent former slave Ossie Davis. Directed by the great Sidney Pollack, the film is tonally uneven, but the cast, including a menacing Telly Savalas and a spunky Shelley Winters, makes it worth the watch.
