Yes haha!
What a damn snoozefest, unbelievable. Very boring and very corny. And what´s with the violin? It adds nothing to the story. The film has only one good scene, when Ringo kills off four guys in an instant. Thatâs it. Thereâs only one spaghetti type character, that of Gordon Mitchell. Story is pure crap, horribly cliched.
[quote=âscherpschutter, post:2, topic:1121â]Funny thing: according to Marco Giusti Gordon Mitchellâs character is called Ringo (or better: was renamed Ringo, originally he was apparently called Baltimore Joe), while Rod Danaâs character is called Jerry Colt (it takes to Italian to invent such a name!)
The film was launched with the slogan (the last one of the article): La leggendaria storia di Jerry Colt, lâuomo che uccise Ringo" (The legendary story of Jerry Colt, the man who killed Ringo)[/quote]
There is no complication in the Italian dub: the main character is called Ringo (he arrives in town calling himself Jerry), while Gordon Mitchellâs character is called Baltimore Joe.
The slogan alludes to what the sheriff says at the end of the film 
I got this one out of my rhinestone studded cases for last nightâs viewing thinking I hadnât seen it⌠until I got to the violin. Then I realized I had the big box legit version and I had seen it before.
Anyway, I stuck with it as it obviously hadnât made too much impression the first timeâŚ
⌠and it didnât make much more impression this time,
⌠but it was enjoyable at times.
The annoying arrogant kid getting it, Gordon Mitchell of course, and the dog surviving in this one. 
There was also a brief shot of our protagonist with a parasol, and some highly ropey philosophisingâŚ
âYou see, death can be a bit like your own shadow. You can try and run away from it, but itâs right there behind youâŚâ [size=8pt][this is nowhere near as good as Robert Woodsâ El Puro âtombstone on your backâ version of the same sentiment though][/size]
âDo you believe in God?â
âOf course I doâŚâ our hero replies ââŚHeâs the only one that never took a shot at me.â 
The filmâs ok and about as deep and meaningless as the philosophising - which shouldâve and couldâve been darker all round.
Less than half marks so rounded down to a 2.
While its very nice to see Gordon Mitchell in the all to rare role as the lead protagonist in a western, I really wish he was given better material. Mediocre film.
Very probably you mix up Uccidi o muori and the contemporaneous Nato per uccidere, Colonel. In this one the lead protagonist is Rod Dana (as Robert Mark).
Oh sorry my bad!! Hahaha.
On in that case I actually like this one! Its the one with Rod Dana playing the violin right? This is actually pretty good!
Becomes a bit routine when our hero kills someone the local lawman always seems to be around. Generic story really, and the playing of the violin by the hero is a bit corny. Itâs like the people who did the storyline just come up with a random idea, whilst having a beer or something. Gordon Mitchell cannot even save the day in this average film.
This movie doesnât deserve it at all, but fuck it:
Screen comparison match up
Corner 1: X-Rated DE DVD (top)
Corner 2: WE US DVD (bottom)
And here we see classic issues with WE converts - interlacing with some ghosting compared to the original DE encoding:

Do they ever look at their own stuff, and think, âI wonder how we can improve the picture quality?â ⌠clearly not! 
Whatâs ridiculous is they seem to have probably just copied the DE disc, and for some unknown reason decided to add interlacing - something which is totally not required for a DVD & should never be added to a video
I mostly agree.
Kill Or Die/Kill Or Be Killed was also included on the DVD with Kill The Wicked and it was the latter that I was primarily interested in and it satisfied my taste.
But Kill OR Die was partly boring, somewhat in traditional American western style and story. It is also slightly lighthearted at times which is not a plus for me (but acceptable in otherwise very good SWs). The best thing was the main music theme played on the Menu of the DVD.
There were typical Italian locations and interesting enough including the same ranch/estate for the âgood sideâ in this SW as also for the âgood sideâ Baxters in Ramon The Mexican (7/10).
After this first time I rate Kill Or Die 5/10, watchable but nothing I will long for to view again. It is a very small minority of the over 50 SWs I have bought that not have reached 6/10 or higher, thanks to my selection process.
