50th Anniversary FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
Half a century ago, shortly before Christmas 1965, the second part in what is now called The Dollar trilogy saw the light
For the occasion I re-watched and re-studied the movie, its genesis and the history of some of its paraphernalia

Liking that poster 
The one on this page? Itās a Belgian poster, bi-lingual and a drawing (or painting). They are kinda special, if only for these two titles, one French, the other Dutch. In Brussels everything has two names, streets, market places, buildings, offices, etc. Often thereās a conflict of word order. In this title particular the word order isnāt different, but usually it is. Street is in Dutch āstraatā, in French ārueā, but in Dutch the group of words determining the noun, usually comes before the noun, in French it usually follows the noun. This has led to street signs such as:
You can have a lot of fun reading street signs in Brussels
Yes thats the one

IF YOU MEET SARTANA PRAY FOR YOUR DEATH (1968, Parolini - Garko)
REVIEW: If you meet Sartana, pray for your Death Review - The Spaghetti Western Database
Iāve now re-watched and re-evaluated all Sartanas. I watched them in reversed order of preference this time, starting with the least beloved (at least in my memory). As a result I watched this one - the first - last. The order of preference hasnāt changed much: the first one is still my favorite Sartana.
Itās not a perfect movie; it has a rather ugly look, even for a low-budget production, but of all Sartanas, this one offers the most exciting mix of comedy and violence, and it also has the best supporting cast: Kinski, Berger, Sancho, Chaplin (well, Sidney, not Charlie) ā¦
So my Top 5 is:
Working on a SARTANA SPECIAL, so more Sartana coming up soon
First time I saw these films I had some trouble stomaching them, and I have been avoiding them since, until your series of reviews made me take another look. My stomach troubles didnāt exactly go away. But I have come to think a lot more of the first one, and I agree itās the best of them. I have my objections against it as everybody else. In particular Iām not happy with the joking with Sartanaās gun. I donāt know if it is a Derringer like you say in your review, it might have been. But we get a real close look at the pistolās chamber in the opening scene.
It seems it doesnāt have a rotating chamber at all, like some multi barrel handguns had. We can clearly see the chambers and the barrels are in one piece. Probably this gun was fired by means of a rotating pin. You cannot simply put a cylinder into a gun like this, as is done in in the final scene.
Same for me. First two are probably equal.
Well, it wouldnāt work in real life (like Sartana himself, most probably)
I donāt think these things were meant to be taken seriously, they were gimmicks. In the final movie we get a organ used as a batttle station and a a miniature robot that can be programmed to kill. That was a bit over the top as far as Iām concerned, but I can understand that others have problems with this Derringer (think only of its reach and precision)
Derringer yes or no? No idea actually.

One SW leads to another. Watching Bocciaās Sapevano Solo Uccidere made me want to rewatch Kill the Wickeds. Working on both moviesā reviews, I also felt like rewatching MATALO!
What it strange movie it was, and what a strange movie it is. Was everybody under the influence, like some have suggested? I donāt know. I still like the movie, to a certain degree. Basic shortcomings are a weak finale (hits the movie like a boomerang) and those over-the-top camera-movements that eventually get on your nerves. I still like the weird look and that lady with the knife
The review has also been given a facelift:
The other day I added the movie Posate le pistole reverendo to the Comedy category, but oddly I can see the change only when logged in. How come?
Same here. I can see it in Chrome (logged in), but not in IE (not logged in)
No idea what causes this
Thatās a caching issue. I will look into it
Who wants to help restore/revise/update this easter egg I just found?
