As far as i know the right titles are those on a blue background. 
The name of the TV station is Italia 1.
Oh really? I figured the Italian title would have been the originalā¦ the other one looks more interesting than the white text on black background though
Seemingly there is a vague similarity in style with the opening titles of the previous Passa Sartanaā¦ ĆØ lāombra della tua morte.
[quote=āautephex, post:21, topic:2868ā]Also, this version that I have from Italian TV runs 1hour 24minutes, which leaves 12 minutes missing from the listed 96min runtime
This VHS cover shows a runtime of 100 min, which is even longer[/quote]
[quote=āJonathanCorbett, post:22, topic:2868ā]Youāre right on the running time, in fact, many sources report 95 minutes while this version lasts 88 minutes (84m 30s PAL). In addition, as I said in a previous post, the titles have been modified.
I know thereās another version (Cinemovie) with (ā¦) correct titles, but personally Iāve never seen it and I donāt know the exact runtime.[/quote]
95/100 minutes is wrong, the correct runtime is 89 minutes (m. 2440). The original rating was T, that is to say all ages admitted.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Iāve watched this three times recently. One of the dumbest Fidani films but very entertaining.

Shadow of Sartana yesterday and Four Came to Kill Sartana today.
5.5/10. Quite liked it and I wouldnāt complain if I had to watch it again.
Jeff Cameron looked absolutely otherworldly here - beautiful blonde hair with a glorious suntan. It did seem a little like a film of two halves though, with the first being more story and plot orientated, setting the stage nicely, and the second half just focusing on the action sequences, with much more screentime for Jeff Cameron.
Didnāt love the anonymity aspect behind the main antagonist but I can get over that. Fantastic saloon brawl towards the end, it included some nice fistfights and general gunplay.
Jeff Cameron - not in the Hall of Fame? That seems a big shame.
Watched this on UK Amazon Prime. Decent quality Italian print, in English. 89m19s including at least 1m of closing credits. So it is uncut as Italian censor recorded 2440m = 89m in October 1969.
I must say, I came into this with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Obviously it wasnāt very good but there were plenty of laughs, some of which may even have been intentional and I wasnāt too bored. I correctly figured out who the secret Dr Mabuse-style Boss was straight away. The idea of 4 specialist Batman-style special guest assassins was obviously so good that it was copied for The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe. I recognised both Fidani and his wife in the cast. Bit disappointed that Umberto Raho wasnāt in it further - the sequence at his mansion was hysterically funny - and tried to kill Sartana also but I guess he cost too much.
Fidaniās wife, Mila Vitalli is also credited with the costumes as well as the script so I guess she came up with the ingenious āMormonā disguise worn by The Mysterious Boss! Surely, this must be the inspiration for the Gravedigger disguise donned by Ty Hardin in Drummer of Vengeance!
My only question - what happened to the kidnapped child?
