I just listened to the opening in Spanish as you suggested. It's really odd to hear a voiceover during the credits - makes it feel a bit like a trailer. BTW, seeing as you mentioned it, I must give 'Guns of the Magnificent Seven' a spin sometime soon. I have it as part of the Magnificent Seven boxset but haven't got around to watching it - if I'm honest it must be over ten years since I've seen that particular movie. Thanks for the comments Tim.

'Guns of the Magnificent Seven' (1969) is another example. A little oddity - take a listen to the Spanish audio track during the opening credits sequence. Great site BTW and I look forward to reading some more reviews.
