Ohh … and # 3 is also a strong contender for the annual SW Bore award[/quote]

mistake the 1??
not at all still one of my top 20 and my best steffen ;D
(lots I haven’t seen)
1.No Room to Die
2.Garringo
3.Dead Men Don’t Count
4.Killer Kid
5.Blood at Sundown
Have to change mine…
So chuck saw them all except for Il mio nome è Scopone e faccio sempre cappotto/Dallas, the one Reverend Danite particularly appreciated… ;D
Yeah, in no hurry to see it
I like him in comedic type roles, though
One of his best is Cry for Revenge, a good buddy film in which Mark Damon co-stars. Steffen’s acting is self ironic in this one, and he actually shows some charisma. A lively underrated western from Marchent #2.
let’s see
these are ones i’ve seen
Steffen is one of my favorite SW actors, so here goes my top 5.
1-Django The Bastard
2-No Room To Die
3-Blood At Sundown
4-Apocalypse Joe
5-Seven Dollars On The Red
I’m not a huge fan of Steffan, so perhaps haven’t put too much thought into this, but here we go (with some commentary):
[table]
[tr][td]1[/td][td] Treno per Durango [/td][td]good, entertaining fun[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]2[/td][td]No Room do Die[/td][td]A bit disappointing, given that I usually enjoy William Berger much more, but watchable enough [/td][/tr]
[tr][td]3[/td][td]Ringo, Il Volto Della Vendetta[/td][td]Doesn’t seem to be widely liked around here, and certainly not great, but I found it OK[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]4[/td][td]Apocalypse Joe[/td][td]Obviously descends into a ridiculous half-hour gunfight, but has half-hour gunfights go, it’s not bad![/td][/tr]
[tr][td]5[/td][td]Killer Kid[/td][td]I really wasn’t convinced by this; it seemed to have very little in the way of a coherent plot[/td][/tr]
[/table]
(That ends up being a list of 5 because I’ve only seen 5, not because these are his top 5!)
And stuff I should/would like to see, but haven’t yet (in rough order):
[ul][li]Mille dollari sul nero (but mostly for Garko, not Steffan)[/li]
[li]Garringo[/li]
[li]Perché uccidi ancora[/li]
[li]Django the Bastard[/li][/ul]
Stuff I probably will see when the Koch Encyclopedia collection is released:
[ul][li]Gentleman Killer[/li][/ul]
haha You’ve got to be kidding me Stanton! You actually liking an Anthony Steffen performance is like Chairman Mao expousing the virtues of democracy!
I also like him in Last Train to Durango and in the first half of Ringo, Il Volto Della Vendetta (in the 2nd half he is bad as usual).
But this film Cry for Revenge seems to be relatively unknown as it mentioned only rarely here.
(here should now follow a joke about Mao but I run out of ideas)
After all it is in five Top 5 (mainly as Dead Men Don’t Count)…
I’ve updated my list:
Ahh, ok, then again too much titles for one film …
I saw 6 movies with Steffen.
Anthony Steffen is one of my favourite actors.
Well with no particular order my top-5:
Django the Bastard
No Room to Die
W Django!
Garringo
Gentleman Killer
And as a second top-5:
Arriva Sabata!
Shango
Some Dollars for Django
7 Dollars on the Red
Blood at Sundown
I think Anthony Steffen is underrated, I feel like everyone that says he can only do his stone-faced thing are folks that have only seen his most famous and accessible stuff. And he’s done more SW’s as a leading man than anyone (I believe), so I’m gonna have to extend my list to my top 10 Anthony Steffen movies.
