It’s not really bold when you consider how many spaghetti westerns were produced. Being an enthusiast also doesn’t mean you have to be delusional. I can acknowledge that I love watching these films while also acknowledging that from the 500 or so spaghetti westerns that were produced in the 60s and 70s only a fraction of them are genuinely good. I want to watch every single one of these films I can get my hands on, but that doesn’t automatically make them good. You’re free to disagree but I doubt you can actually mention 200 spaghetti westerns that you think are all genuinely quality films, which would prove my point (and even that would only be a fraction of these films).
Just because you want something to be true doesn’t mean you should believe it to be true no matter what and refute all arguments that don’t agree with that sentiment for the sake of refuting them.
Back to the subject of Anthony Steffen: that’s quite the assertion at the top of the thread by SARTANA DJANGO BALLADS. Makes me want to rewatch Steffen’s entire spaghetti western filmography just to see what I may have missed
‘Django il Bastardo’ is my favourite, but I quite like the two he did with Alberto Cardone - ‘7 dollari sul rosso’ and ‘1000 dollari sul nero’.
On location shoot for ‘Pochi dollari per Django’, 1966.
You need HD to enjoy a movie? I’m very sorry to hear that. I enjoyed lots of movies way back in the 80s and most of them enjoyed in pan and scan 4:3 very SD. Hope you get better soon
Standards that didn’t exist until the last 15 years (unless you had a small fortune allowing you to travel around hunting the odd cinema viewing) you understand and keep you from enjoying movies. I do really feel sorry for you.
Mhm good thing we aren’t living 15 year ago then . Imagine literally defending worse image quality and promoting low standards, you must be a masochist or something
Genuine question, would you watch an entire movie on a tiny 360p old nokia phone screen and enjoy it? You strike me as the type of person who would think its a fine way of viewing a film.
Personally, I’m just thinking that it may be time on this particular thread to stop all the bickering, as it is way off topic (Anthony Steffen), and isn’t getting anyone anywhere, except into more arguing, stone-throwing, and negative waves.
No problem with healthy discussion, but sometimes a line has to be drawn in the sand.
Why don’t we all agree to disagree, and accept that some people simply have different views…
Peace, SW brothers (and sisters)…
Jack Beauregard : Folks that throw dirt on you aren’t always trying to hurt you, and folks that pull you out of a jam aren’t always trying to help you. But the main point is when you’re up to your nose in shit, keep your mouth shut.
I’m just saying that that was what was offered then and people enjoyed that just fine. But yes people watced moviies on tvs then masochists the lot of them I go for UHD releases now and enjoy them but still buy the odd dvd because stuff is still being released on that medium and nothing better. In fact my favourite movie is O Lucky Man. Never had a relase besides on dvd. iIt’s a fantastic movie you will probably never watch then.
But yes give me a scratched up copy of a spaghetti western I can’t find anywhere and I will gladly watch it and enjoy it. I might not find it the best movie in the world but I enjoy the genre so of course
But Steffen is absolutely terrifying in Django the Bastard Imagine being one of Murdock’s goons looking for the stranger who has caused chaos in the town. It’s night and you’re walking around. Suddenly, there’s rustling behind you. You turn around and see this giant of a man with a grey poncho and an eerily serious expression on his face. Then you see him draw his gun and that’s the last thing you see.
There’s this wholesome clip of Anthony Steffen laughing behind the scenes of A Name That Cried for Revenge. It can be found from the documentary Western, Italian Style (1968). Timestamp is 5:10
I’m very sorry to hear that. I enjoyed lots of movies way back in the 80s and most of them enjoyed in pan and scan 4:3 very SD. Hope you get better soon 
Thanks for posting it,
