Solid Sw well filmed, but I wasnât most impressed with it, the acting itâs not good (both the actresses are just pretty) A. Giordana sincerely does not convince me that much as a bad guy turn good, the story itâs very implausible even for an SW (I could be blind death or mute but would always recognize a son of mine), one think that I really dislike itâs those small comic reliefs in very dramtic films like this one, they spoiled the film IMO.
But apart from that it does got that SW grinta with some nice shooting and fights, and a lot of mud (the actors must have been paid extra)
My daughter weak up in the last 20m of the film was if still a little sleepy, she saw those final minutes with me so I guess this the first Sw we have seen together, she really payed attention when the bad guy was shoot in the head ;D
Civil war SW rarely work, itâs a type of film that only works in classical western, they normally need a more acurate historical approach that Sw do not provide.
In any case a 3 out of 5 at least itâs nice to watch,
Just saw it a few minutes ago. -Very entertaining. Iâve learned to overcome Civil War quirks because it was an expansive affair with a myriad of side-stuff happening that nobody wrote about.
Yeah, Flanagan (Piero Lulli) shouldâve realized that Blasko (Andrea Giordana) wasnât his son. But we saw that Flanaganâs nursemaid, who never met his son, realized that Giordana was faking it. Secrets-between-characters that the audience knew about, was a key element through-out.
And I liked the scene where the piano-player, who was angry that the brawl interrupted his song, actually tried to finish it while fist-fighting.
Gianni Ferrioâs score is excellent. The theme (sung by John Balfour) rates equal with 1972âs Desperado, by Alice Cooper. Both blow-away the Eaglesâ sappy, crybaby song of the same name.
The filmâs action is logical in its own reality. But the outlaws lacked a sort-of charisma, which the script shouldâve provided by giving them unique dialogue.
Does anyone have the Savoy(Intergroove) release? Would love to hear how the quality is? I donât own the Wild East Disc but have have a rip of it and would love to get a physical copy.
I watched this one today. Quite entertaining movie. Love the soundtrack!! Is it possible to get hold of? Mp3 or cd?
As for the DVD release, it looks quite good, but I watched it on a dvd player through a Scart/AV cable, not HDMI. So maybe it looked more blurry than it would have, I donât know. But good enough for me. I havenât seen the Wild East version, thoughâŠ
Just watched it! I found it enjoyable, although for my taste it looses in many parts. Such things are like the lack of blood when the two soldiers are shot in the back or generally when people are shot, or the six-shooters, that at the beginning have unlimited bullets, but at the end (at the duel if you want to call it so) have not enough!
The plot takes a while to be introduced, but when it does it catches your attention.
A lot of takes are quite tasty and stylishly made and the violence is what Iâm waiting from a SW!
I found the fistfight in the saloon one of the best, if not the best, scenes of itâs kind. It was violent with wonderfully gruesome punches, but also comical! I couldnât prevent myself from laughing with the pianist!!! He continued playing while behind him was the absolute chaos and he even knocked a guy out when he interrupted him!!! ;D
But al in al a nice SW. 3/5
P.S.: And about the old man: What the heck? Couldnât he recognise his own son from his voice??? Come on! There are other blind guys out there in the Italian West that can shoot a bird in the eye only by hearing!!!
Did anyone else notice the reference to Red Rock in this one? Tarantino is a fan of this film and I can only think he used/borrowed the name for The Hateful Eight.
I donât remember the reference (havenât seen this one for a couple of years) but he probably did knowing Tarantino films. The Hateful Eight (to me at least) seemed to be The Great Silence, Shoot the Living⊠and Cutthroats Nine being thrown into a blender, so itâs not a stretch to think he took elements from this film and other spags as well.
Itâs really strange but this is another really low budget spag (which are spags that I usually hate) thatâs in my top 20 and will probably never leave. Itâs one of my favourite westerns, spaghetti or otherwise.
By accident The Dirty Outlaws solved a litttle mystery for me. There is a 2+ minute music piece on the Kill The Wicked DVD extras menu which was not included in that movie (which had other excellent music by Angelo Lavagnino), but the same solemn nice music by Gianni Ferrio appeared here in The Dirty Outlaws to my surprise. Especially the flute theme is very good.
The Dirty Outlaws is well directed and a somewhat original story. The structure reminds a bit of Kill The Wicked with a ghost town were most of the action and (too much) beating takes place. Andrea Giordana, Piero Lulli and Aldo Berti were some of the familiar faces with good acting. Andrea Giordana though is a bit stiff in his grim expression.
There were some riding or stage coach scenes shot in Tabernas desierto but when the stationary close ups followed they seemed to be back in Italy in the âsand pitâ.
I will probably rate The Dirty Outlaws somewhere in the 6/10 territory, good for some more watchings later.
Good eight and a half from me. I bloody love this film, and although I can acknowledge it is a bit on the cheaper side, I think Rosetti did a great job making something really good out of what was probably a very low budget.
After having watched it 3 times in 16 days I increase my rating of The Dirty Outlaws to 7/10 good for 32th place of my Top 60 just after El Puro but before Black Jack.
Andrea Giordana has some stiff or odd postures when he shoots so I came to think of his character in Johnny Hamlet (also 7/10) even if he probably was slightly more western like there.
I thought the plot for this one was weak, but I really loved the slimy, guileful protagonist and thought Andre Giordana did a fine job. I thought the villains were appropriately sadistic, as well. Theyâre the type of characters that make the protagonist sympathetic simply by being worse than them.
