I have not seen any Sartana movies yet, but this one is on Netflix. Do you reccomend that I watch it, even if I haven´t seen the other ones?

This one is considered to be the best, and I’d recommend it … good entertainment.

There’s no any continuity between the films, you can watch them in any order you like.

Just watched this movie again. It never gets old and is definitely in my top 20 :slight_smile: I have always wondered though, and perhaps someone can help?
In the final scene with Senora Manassas and … the gentleman whom Sartana rescued… I can’t remember his name.
Anyway, it appears that Senora has a cocaine nose lol
Can anyone confirm that?
There is definitely a white powder substance around her right nostril and a, what appears to be, reddish agitation on the inside.
Regardless… great movie!

FINALLY got around to watching this. I still need to rewatch Have a Good Funeral…, but I think this might be my new favorite Sartana, just really fun from beginning to end. The finale with the organ was pushing it a little bit in terms of goofiness, and I find Nieves Navarro incredibly annoying (blasphemy I know), but everything else was top tier Sartana for me. Will be rewatching Have a Good Funeral tonight to see how it holds up in comparison.

We’re adopting a new system of invoicing at work and it’s a bit of a nightmare to implement; needed something nice and silly to unwind after a busy day and this seemed to fit the bill. My impression of the final act and evaluation of the movie itself had fused over the years, so I had a bit of a negative opinion about it. While I still think the closing segment is a bit of a disappointment, the first two thirds are about as close to perfection as you can get within the context of the genre. It’s just so well calibrated and optimized in terms of tempo, editing and overall production design it’s a genuine pleasure to watch.

Likewise, I’ve got to say these Carnimeo romps feel remarkably modern and have aged incredibly well, especially when compared with genre’s other entries. In all honestly, I just believe the story simply doesn’t amount to much and sort of sputters out towards the end with all characters turning out so unlikable as to barely evoke sympathy of any sort, even Sartana is a bit of an asshole. On the whole, not one of my favorites, but I can definitely see why some people list it among the best even if it’s a bit too asinine for my liking, makes me want to revisit all the other ones too.
