has anybody ordered from http://www.moviesdistribucion.com/dvd/ficha/?Los+Amigos
i want to order the spaghetti western box set with 20 dvds, is this company fast and secure?
i am in the u.s.a
Well they use only couriers for shipping so the package should arrive fast and secure once they actually send it. I have one active order in there and it has been over a week already and they havenât even mailed me yet what the shipping costs are (you wonât see the cost when making the order [well unless youâre from Spain or somewhere there] they email it to you later and ask if its acceptable).
The shipping costs may be very high⌠last time it was over 30euros [thatâs something like $40 right now] for 3 discs to Finland, and I think Finland is one of the cheapest countries on the couriers list. ;D USA might be on the same level though.
EDIT: Just want to add that the first time they did email me the shipping costs very fast, not sure what is taking long this time.
So anyways if you donât mind waiting a bit for the shipping cost email and the possible high costs donât scare you away, I see no reason not to use them. 
-Just watched it again a few hours ago. I like it. Tony Quinnâs sign-language is brilliant. Thereâs some good irony when Mortonâs men know Smith as a deaf/mute agent for President Houston, but they donât know what he looks like. So he has to pretend to hear when they first enter Austin. Yeah, I was surprised by the unveiling of the gattling-gun, in the 1836-setting, but it didnât fire a flawless machine-gun. It looked/sounded like they used an authentic model. The kids appearing out-of-nowhere to involuntarily foil the plan to blow-up the ammo-wagons, was a bit awkward. I liked the gunfight in the mine-shaft, with only the antagonistsâ eyes exposed during the gun-flashes. Iâd rate it above-average, only because no mention was made of President Houston being satisfied with the outcome. That was why they were there.

itâs more like rip off of companeros which i do not like either
boring and ridiculos at the same time
Liked this one more than I expected to. Quinn and Nero have both been used better of course but it was an OK watch and didnât out stay its welcome.
A 3 star Spag for me.
I watched this on The Thai release. Good quality, if a little fuzzy in some night scenes. An Ok 70âs western, the final shootout was pretty funny, with Nero and the machine gun.
3/5

To my surprise, it turned out that I had never seen this movie before.
Thought I had, but I must have mixed it up with another one.
Anyway, not bad for for a Seventies spaghetti:

Yes, not more than an acceptable Spagie.
I can understand that it remained comparatively unknown, despite a moderate budget and the 2 stars. It also was the only SW photographed by Tonino Delli Colli apart form his work with Leone.
Various censorship problems for this one, with a rather unusual - for a 1973 SW - VM18 rating (VM14 one month later with six cuts in three sequences).
I was surprised that I liked it. Quinn and Nero are great together, and the segments reflecting deafness were great. Some of the Nero and leading lady theatrics and friend break-up only to reunite were tiresome though.
I was confused by the ending shot though, and had to rewind multiple times to be sure I didnât miss something. Rather bleak to pre-date City of the Living Dead from Fulci and give it that flourish, seemed out of place.

A pro-Allende, anti-Pinochet message hidden behind the original title?

Viewed a slightly longer version than last time and the best print quality wise I have seen, but alas not widescreen. Like the fact Nero does not play the most clever character, especially in contrast to the other main starâŚQuinn. My favourite âBuddyâ Spaghetti western.
Very enjoyable spaghetti in my opinion. Thereâs a widescreen print taken from German television. Does anybody have it? I have the Spanish DVD.
Just watched this one and wasnât keen. I loved Nero and Quinn, and it was well directed with nice music, but the script was poor, it took far too long to get going and when it did it didnât amount to much. Also agree with Scherpâs review, it just lacks the.magic of many earlier films. Probably the only time I agree with the US critics on a spaghetti western.
Just watched this one again. Enjoyed it as much as the last time. 4/5 stars

Anybody have a widescreen version?
I have the widescreen, somewhere! Itâs the German TV rip with 1.85:1 ratio - sharper picture and better colour than the Spanish DVD, but shorter running time.
finally watched this oddball. Never really gets going, and the script is pretty flimsy at best. Watchable down to Quinn and Nero, but thatâs about it. Quinn being unable to communicate also gets a little frustrating at times, though it does lead to some funny interactions between him and Nero. Quite a stale affair altogether.

But that song is still worm holed in my brain and digs its way up from the depths of my subconscious from time to time.

Totally agreeâŚsuch a missed opportunity having Nero and Quinn together and only coming up with a lukewarm film.
