Killer,adios is one of very very few for me new SWs , the last 2 years.
I found it fairly entertaining to watch the whole film, but these Whodunnit ? SWs don’t quite give me the right feeling. I liked the Peter Lee Lawrence (born as Karl Hyrenbach) character much better in Awqward Hands where he was a young innocent guy transforming into an determined avenging antihero.
In this SW he is a rather one-dimensional character. The true killer was not so believable but was suspected by me anyhow.
For once, Rosalba Neri was not styled to her advantage.
The music was not in good SW style.
5/10 rating from me.

It’s pretty much a remake of Killer Calibre 32. I think Lawrence even wears the same clothes.
It appears to be styled on a German Edgar Wallace krimi. These usually featured a mysterious killer offing the cast with a gimmicky weapon (harpoon gun, teeth from a venomous snake) and the killer was usually the friendly face who served no obvious narrative purpose.
I also noticed the similarities to the “krimi” films when I watched it somewhat recently for spagvember. Glad to see I’m not the only one who saw the parallels.
