Oh yes I forot about him. First I thought he was only gay in the German version, but on the second sight I realized, he was really gay.
PLL seems to play with erveyone’s hearts in this movie 
I bought the Divisa DVD a quite while ago, but it was yesterday that I finally give it a shot. The first scenes gave me some ideas of a gritty revenge, which unfortunately is not the case. Also thought that this Venezuelan - Espartaco Santoni - should have a bigger part in the movie. Despite that, I liked it.
I like it a lot, my favorite from Klimovsky.
I enjoyed this one well enough but it really does seem to be two separate movies forced together. The opening parts are straight forward gritty typw we all like and then becomes more comedic as it goes on and the final shoot out is just plain awful. Not sure what they were thinking there.
Despite that I like PLL well enough to ignore it’s flaws for the most part and it was a big plus having Sanbrell in a major part. And a full on mean SOB one at that. Wouldn’t go so far as to recommend this one to anyone but I have seen a lot worse.
Pretty much agree with all above. I watched the disc from the Halleluja box (previously I hadn’t even realized it was there, as I didn’t even know of the tenuous link) - but was pleased with the quality of the print.
The beginning showed a dark promise - the end shootout was far too comedic. Inbetween, it fluctuated between the two camps. And yes indeed, the barman was very camp - but his inclusion didn’t annoy me at all, I actually looked forward to seeing this lighter comedic part, and it looked like he enjoyed playing it.
Dollar, the bounty hunter/ranger was as over the top as he should’ve been, and looked great in leathers, tooth necklace and earring, 8) (and also looked like he could ‘come out’ - in a Judas Priest-y sort of way) at any time as well. It didn’t need him to go all ‘comedy’ later on for certain. Did Loredo Robledo survive this one Phil? I think he may have - (*much I’ve already forgotten from last night - which says something maybe?)
It was a shame Helga Line (Maybelle) was wearing a nice modern brassiere - if only for the sake of historical accuracy ::).
Overall - it was an enjoyable time spent on a mediocre film that was a spaghetti-by-numbers storyline, with a few interesting twists added.
[* Forgotten, but not from a surfeit of cider, as may sometimes be the case as his reverence is abstaining from the amber fluid at the moment - well, at least until the wretched gastric flu departs. Anyway, I don’t think this film would have got more for an appley-infusion anyway … so …
3 stars, (rounded up from half marks for Dollar’s earring and Maria Zandrea (Mary Zan)/Leonor’s suede outfit (her only film btw?). ]
I watched the Wild East dvd of this this afternoon.
Peter Lee Lawrence stars as The Sando Kid whose mission is to put a stop to vicous land grabber Grayton (Aldo Sambrell), he is helped by Dollar, a Bounty Hunter who is also a Captain (played convincingly by Venezuelan actor Espartaco Santoni).
The pleasing to the ear score is by Alessandro Alessandroni which pops up quite often through the film.
Here are some screenshots I took from the Wild east dvd.

Hi!!
I’m making an investigation for the University about this movie, and I can’t understand very well the lyrics in the song of the opening.
Can someone help me and transcribe for me the lyrics on it??
Thanks,
Carlos
P.D.: I’m from Spain, and that’s why I can’t understand it very well. Thanks
wow!!! this was a total trash!!! and a winner in my top 20 worst well done…
Watched this last night on the Wild East double feature DVD. I know I’ve seen this before but can’t rememeber If I’d already watched the DVD or saw it from a different source. While there’s a good amount of cheese, I do really enjoy the frequent gunplay and the score is nice.
What I really wanted to ask is about the sped up scenes. There are several scenes on the WE disc where the frames are moving way too fast, but the audio remains at normal speed. I first noticed during a fight scene, and thought that maybe it was just filmed this way although it looked terrible, but then it kept happening in other scenes also. Has anyone else noticed this? Was it actually originally edited like this, or is this an error on the WE transfer? Its basically several scenes where the characters are moving around much faster than normal, like the frames have been sped up.
Like already mentioned the film just cannot substain the interesting opening scenes. What we have that follows is a mixture of camp and scenes trying to match the first scene. Even so I do not mind this one, and I have viewed it countless times. Probably because I do not take the film seriously most of the time and that music score just gets in your head.
I picked up the soundtrack to this a while ago. It got to me , I guess but it has some great guitar work.
I need to re-watch this one again, it’s been a long while.
Absolutely correct*, to be extra sure I checked Yo la vi Primero (1974)
*unlike the picture of Canevari linked below, I take this opportunity to point this out

Are the Wild East and the Koch releases the same cut? I noticed a 4 minute difference. Could this be due to different frame rates?
Nice posters! Great little film, as well, with a nice soundtrack.
great posters !
one of my favorite shot in these italian westerns is the POV shot… especially when firing a gun.

Watched this as my sixth film during 2019 spagvember. These were my comments then:
This one starts out at the ending of the civil war, a union officer shooting wounded confederate soldiers. And it really gets off on the right foot, accompanied by an interesting Alessandroni score. Then halfway through it drops, and eventually collapses into a farce. Why?? At the end it seems nobody cared anymore; the two rangers ride out of the picture, and in come COWS, as the camera goes to some snowclad mountains. Still the best so far this spagvember.
