The chronology of the posts seems to be all screwed up with posts from 2008 being displayed after the ones from 2017-2019, can anybody give it a quick fix?
sorry that came from merging. not really possible to fix the chronology. one thing we could do is just delete most posts that donāt add much info
Nah, no matter then.
Hi all,
I see this is having an imminent blu ray release. I like to collect all spags on blu ray that donāt fall too far into comedy. I really donāt like trinity etc and even the likes of sky full of stars, roy colt and winchester jack etc are too slapsticky for me. Basically I draw the line at those that dabble a bit - like the mercenary, companeros, sugar coltā¦no further down the comedy line for me 
So where would you guys say this sits on the spectrum? Get it or avoid!!!
Iād say itās in the āworth a tryā category for you. 
The German dub pretends itās a comedy but it really isnāt. Iāve only watched it in German so itās a bit difficult to judge how it feels with normal dialogue, but in my opinion the jokes mostly didnāt fit the movie, so my guess is itās quite a bit more serious originally.

Itās not a comedy at all, though there are some amusing one-liners from the main protagonists, who are friends, but also rivals, and thereās not much trust between them ā¦ Itās not a classic, but itās well made and also very entertaining.
Iād recommend it, as one who also dislikes the Trinity movies.

Thanks for your replies both. Sounds like it might be worth a dip for me. Another Garko one that went too far the other way for me was They Call Him Holy Ghost - as long as we are not drifting into that territory!!!
ā¦mind you I also have the Tiger from Kwai in my collection and canāt find anyone stupid enough to buy it off me

Finishing this BluRay right now, a rewatch for me. Donāt have much recollection of the first time I saw this. Deifnitely a sub-par movie, and a bit of a shame because it had all the right ingredientsā¦
Thomas Weisser writes āthe story remains a cluttered tale of vigilante justice as Sartana attempts to stop a mysterious gang of gun traffickers who are raiding cavalry forts and stealing weaponsā.
Anyone know which film his plot synopsis belongs to?
I found this a bit tedious- the psycho family was quite interesting (based on Wagonmaster or the more recent Will Penny I guess) and as someone else has commented could have done with a movie of their own rather than the fifteen minutes they last here. Didnāt like the music. Not sure if Butch Cassidy was released in Spain before this one was shot. It reminded me a lot of the Gemma/Adorf movie And for a Roof a Sky Full of Stars. Garko was very low key ceding too much to Guglilime in the Tuco role whose character was a total bastard at times (eg his killing of the Huerta character).
The Italian censor plot document refers to the main characters as Larry and Mike and the narrative has an alternative ending in which they meet the sheriffās posse again (possibly why the sheriffās posse appears to vanish in the print I saw).
Final sentence translates as But the sheriff has finally found them; they are besieged as at the beginning of this adventure.
1970 was the Sartana year - Wikipedia lists 38 Italian backed westerns of which 8 are Sartana films of one sort or another.
