Starts of with a man searching for his brother to clear his name, then the plot tends to go up its own arse ;D . Film is just an excercise to show as many female breasts as possible though. But in a nasty way though, which seems to be this films only goal really.
Today: Kill Them All and Come Back Alone (Castellari. 1968). A big, grinning slice of fun, I thought. Without a doubt the most âacrobaticâ spag Iâve ever seen. And why bother with intricacies such as plot, motivation or backstory when youâve got 300 different wonderfully violent set-pieces to fit in? My son and I laughed and whooped our way through most of this one. Great work from Chuck Connors and (especially) Frank Wolff, too.
Say, the SWDB construction work has left this place a bit of a ghost town, hasnât it?
I remembered that you hated this movie.
It does virtually everything wrong but manages to land on its feet somehow.
Apart from Raquelâs legs I also like Kennedyâs character of the lovesick sheriff who hopes to win her hands. He more or less represents every healthy man watching the movie

I donât hate it. It is just for most of its runtime so totally uninspired that Barquero remains way beyond its possibilities. If I need a proof for McLalalaâs talent as un-director, this one, which every half talented director should at least have turned into a decent movie, is perfect. But instead it is only a bore.
Ernest Bognineâs daughter is kidnapped by thugs who escape over into Mexico, and since the US army wonât help, he hires a tracker (Sammy Davis Jr) to help him find her.
For a TV movie, this was pretty good, with some nice chemistry between Borgnine and Davis, with some great gems of dialogue, since it was a TV movie they cannot swear as much, as Borgnine states âIâm gonna beat the sass outta you, you little black Injun!â. So far, this is the first western Iâve seen a British villain in a western, as we have Caleb Brooks as El Grande, the local tyrant. He has a great time, lording over his men, and its a shame since this is Brooks only film.
Robert Taylorâs last appearance as a lead actor in a western movie. Originally made for TV but released theatrically in several countries. Taylor is an aging gunfighter who has been in jail (for a crime he did not commit of course) for five years; when heâs asked for help by a Mexican friend whoâs in danger of being chased from his property, he reluctantly travels South, but arrives too late on the spot; determined to avenge his friend, he teams up with a young gunman (whoâs falsely accused of murder) and starts looking for the killers.
The film is nothing special but surprisingly entertaining and has an interesting plot twist that will remind those interested in spaghetti westerns of Giulia Petroniâs Death Rides a Horse (starring Lee van Cleef and John-Philip Law). The young gunfighter is played by Chad Everett, probably best known as as âDr. Joe Gannonâ in the television series Medical Center. His love interest (the daughter of the murdered Mexican farmer) is played by Ana Martin, Miss Mexico 1963.
Watched 3, Take a hard ride was boring ride after $68k. Or was it 86?
Any gun can play started well and stayed that long time. Then suddenly it got into slapstickish but got back into track in the end. OK one, audio track in brisith dvd was quite awful.
Man from oklahoma was most close to hollywood western and bit surprisingly also best of the bunch.
