Yup, they’re hard work and it gave me a headache.
Yeah, sure fact that Santi directed some early scenes of the film accordind Frayling.
I got this film fairly recently (the Wild East disc), and enjoyed it. I have to admit that I guessed the major revelation. Still, any movie with music that was later used in KILL BILL is okay by me. And very good music it was. ;D

I think it’s a very good movie and an underrrated one [i saw people calling it crap on other forums etc.].
Van Cleef is great, most of the music too, nice action and great villains [Horst Frank and especially that crazy gay dude dressed in white].
i think the film is quite good. granted it’s not up there with the best but i wouldn’t say it was shit
Probably the last best Spaghetti LEE VAN CLEEF starred in.
…and i thought Kid Vengeance was your favourite western of all time 
Or BAD MANS RIVER perhaps?
Nice movie, but whats with lee van cleef catching a bullet with his teeth? ???
Have seen it now… very good!
Lee :-*
What are these scars on the bad guy’s face? They look like snake bits. He seems very eeeevil with them… ;D
He’s really gay. ;D
Good movie. Only thing wrong with this film is that the relationship between Phillip and Adam’s ex fiance could have been developed better. They hardly said a word to each other the whole movie, yet at the end they were kissing. That was wierd.
Also, does anybody know why Philliip shot off Cleef’s hat during the final duel? Was it throw off the 3 brothers since they were all planning on shooting at the same time?
I disagree, That’s one of the reasons I like spaghetti westerns. They make it obvious enough that there’s some sort of romance going on, but they don’t let it consume a whole lot of time (which usually sucks)
I agree that the charm of spaghetti westerns is that it leaves the viewer to figure it out instead of explaining everything. Still, I think the romance between the two deserved to be developed better, without making it more sentimental and mushy.
He didn’t catch it with his teeth. He had it in his mouth the whole time. Phillip shot a blank. That was another wierd part of the movie. The girl claims that she doesn’t think Phillip is a murderer because he doesn’t look like one. But didn’t she just witness phillip attempt to shoot Van Cleef?
Perhaps she was just smittened by blind love. In a way this movie sends out the wrong message. That murderers have to “look” like murderers in order to be one.
You guys ever heard of Lombroso’s “Atavistic Criminal”?
By the way, anybody have any info on Peter O’brien aka Alberto Dentice?
Apparently this is his lone movie or television credit. How did he get a co starring role when he had no prior experience in films?

I hope nobody dares to suggest he may have “slept his way” to the top or to the part
Santi has worked in several SW classics as an assistant director: THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, DEATH RIDES A HORSE and DUCK YOU SUCKER that was once a Santi film. That’s a shining CV and Santi seems unfairly neglected. Wild East even brands him a “non-genre director”! Has anyone ever read an interview with him or anything? It seems that in order to be considered a real genre director one should make a fistful of films in the same vein but often the time is just not right, the western was already on the way out as Santi did his promising effort.

It’s bizarre. Even on Italian sites there’s hardly any info.
And then this name, Dentice. I’m not Italian, nor have I grown up over there, but it doesn’t sound like a proper name to me (what do you make of it SD ?). In English ‘Dentice’ would be something like ‘Toothie’. I remember he had shiny teeth, so it might be a knickname or a pseudonym that’s meant to be funny.
Anyway, a mysterious bloke, this Peter/Alberto.
