A welcome return home to spaghettiland last night and Day of Anger did the job. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this and it hit the spot. I don’t find it as good as when I first saw it, it’s not a grower like some - but it kept me entertained throughout. Job done.
Killer Kid (Leopoldo Savona)
The Koch disc is ofcourse great quality. I liked the film but the plot seems to come to a hault somewhere in the middle and doesn’t really advance from then on. The action scenes are great though and the score is adequate. And in the finale, there is a classic example of the “strange” invincibility of our hero. Or just another example of the heroes larger than life quality. Steffen and a couple revolutionary allies approach a machine gun that turns and starts shooting at them. Everyone but Steffen is killed. Very goofy shot.
Pistoleros (Alfio Caltabiano)
Gets better every time I see it. I can never spot the Christian symbolism Scherp points out but it isn’t any less stylish despite it. The Yugoslavian locations are great too. And of course the comedy brawl was unnecessary and out of place. Might have to publish a review for Fistful of Pasta sometime in the future.
Mannaja
I have watched the movie again.
Good, with a dark atmosphere.
Overall, however, more routine than inspired.
I always like to come back to that one as well. I haven’t watched a western all summer as I’ve been crazy busy, so looking forward to getting back to normal. 
In that case a spaghetti and a single malt for you sir.
Ab-so-lutely.
Law Of The Rio Grande
Old Western from 1931.
And…?
Was it as awful as it looks? 
It was old.
The Gunfighter - Henry King 1950
Probably the first western in which the hero gets into the crisis and questions himself. Good western with some fine vignettes in the characterizations. Only sometimes the message takes over.
Good role for Gregory Peck.
Only 2 very short (but well made) shoot-outs which frame the film. And apart from the credits and the ending scene absolutely no music. 8/10
Well, that’s a given. But it has a pretty bad score on IMDb (and only 8 votes), looks like one of these cheap and utterly forgettable B westerns, is it?
Absolutely. Nothing memorable, but pretty entertaining.
And not even an hour, too! Oh man, watching a couple of minutes (oh lord, the fights, so funny!) of this makes me want to dust off my B western collection and pop-up a good Mary Ellen Kay in my DVD player. “Colorado Sundown” should do the trick (and coincidently, the fights in this one are pretty good).
I love the name “Colorado”. For some reason, sounds nice.
The Horse Soldiers
Just watchedDay of Anger. Gemma and Van Cleef, how could it not kick ass. ;D
It is mathematically impossible!
Broke my spaghetti drought with A Hole In The Forehead, a decent Ghidra flick. Probably will continue with Tequila Joe tomorrow night.
Watched THE MERCENARY from the Koch Media disc. I actually enjoyed it a bit more this time around, first time I recall it being quite boring at parts. However, I still think that COMPANEROS is the better film of the two, much crazier and funnier, Musante is good too but he is no Milian. Got to watch the extras now.
I also like Companeros better. Granted, I haven’t yet rewatched Mercenary.
