A film which had the potential to be something more. But too much of its possibilities are spoiled. 5/10

Mediocre spaghetti western. Only the bizarre ideas make it worthwile. 6/10

If you like Edwige Fenech and bare breasts this may be a spaghetti western for you. This one offers both and in combination.

In short its hard not to recommend a spaghetti western containing nudity.

Its one of the sleaziest spaghetti westerns Iā€™ve seen which probably doesnā€™t say much. Definitely above average in my book.

Watched the Wild East-release which had an ok picture. Maybe some publisher will put together a Edwige Fenech bluray collection someday and we will get to watch it again in all its glory :slight_smile:

Not as sleazy as I had read about this one, and was expecting a bit more naked flesh. Basically for me is a revenge one on slow burner mode, with a power woman who likes a spot of rough sex from time to time. Have three versions to this one, but viewed the Wild East print which looks similar in picture quality to the Iris Media T.V print minus the T.V logo on the print. The english audio on the Wild East print seems similar to my vhs print with all the audio drop outs. Not a bad little number then for Wild East. Film is ok, but was expecting a little better, and the saloon fight in slapstick mode was out of place in this film.

Rai Movie version is missing two of the three shots of Miserere groping the blonde saloon girl played by Dada Gallotti, Edwigeā€™s breasts, the castration threat and part of Basile and Ravaioliā€™s conversation during the rape.

Both Wild East and Medusa DVDs are uncut, the only difference is that the Italian disc is missing the transition to Wanted poster just before the opening credits.

Heads or Tails has been updated to the new layout (3.0). Let us know if you can add anything: pictures, posters, trivia, facts, figures, links, etcā€¦

I just watched this one again.
If someone could update the main page: Testa o croce

At least some of the ā€œfilming locationā€ was set at Tirrenia Studios

Thanks,

done

If something deserves to be called a hidden gem then this is it. Very unorthodox story and cast. The direction is also nice. I was still interested where it was going.

This is a romantic touchy movie similar to Cemetery Without Crosses but less protracted and with more content, interesting ideas and more dialogues. I actually liked it way more than CWC because it was not as slow. 4/5
