āArriva Sabataā
-
entertaining, average material
-
good cast
Just finished watching SCALPS.
I last watched this quite a few years ago as I recall of Greek VHS with english audio, but with huge greek subtitles.
Some people do not mind subtitles all through a film which is fair enough, but I have to admit they usually piss me off.
Interesting that the music was credited to LUIGI CECCARELLI, but the film also played music from RUN MAN RUN and SONNY AND JED aswell.
Oh, and it is the only western I have seen a woman Indian fire an arrow with a piece of dynamite attached.
āBrothers In Armsā (2005)
-David Carridine, Gabriel Casseus
Ex-Farmers become outlaws, form a gang and try to rob the bank of the man who burned their farm.
Good production values and costumes and a couple of very nice looking women, canāt disguise that fact that nobody in this movie can act their way out of a paper bag. Awful, simply awful.
Jus watched Sturgesā Hour of the Gun. Solid stuff, with some excellent music by Jerry Goldsmith.
'Campa carogna ā¦ ā
- entertaining, average stuff
- nothing special though
- nice shootings
Watched Tombstone last night. In my opinion waaaaay better than Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner. Mind you, I am a Kurt Russell fan, but he was made to play Earp, he really did a good job bringing the character to life.
Any thoughts from the crowd on which is the better film???
[quote=āPacificador, post:967, topic:141ā]Any thoughts from the crowd on which is the better film???[/quote]TOMBSTONE without a doubt, Kurt Russell is great (cold bloodedley puts a gun i someones mouth and pulls the trigger) and i also think Val Kilmer gives a superb performance āIām your Huckleberry!ā
I think Wyatt Earp is ok but it takes far too long to get going, i found the first hour or so quite hard to sit through but got quite into it when it started kicking off.
Iāve only seen the version that is just over 3 hours, has anyone seen the extended version? Is it just more boring bits?

[/quote]Tombstone no doubt,wyatt earp is fine but tombstone is one of the best westerns ever
Watched Twice A Judas last night. Was alright I guess, not as good as I had hoped it would be. Not one of Klaus Kinskiās better spaghetti western performances. But all in all OK.
I have to agree with Yodlaf. I like them both but think Tombstone is the better film. One of Kurt Russellās best movies for me (along with The Thing). However, I do like Costner and think he is one of the few keeping Westerns alive in the modern era. (Dances With Wolves, Wyatt Earp and Open Range were all good films)
Iāve only seen Wyatt Earp out of these, i havenāt gotten around to seeing open range yet and everyone i know who has seen Dances with Wolves has told me itās incredibly boring and self indulgent.
I prefer OPEN RANGE the best, as I find the Wyatt Earp story has been told to many times.
Dances with Wolves is a bit to self indulgent .
Well I guess itās a matter of opinion and Iām probably in the minority on this one but I liked Dances with Wolves at the time of release and still enjoy it. (although it certainly loses something on the small screen)
Self indulgent? Maybe, but it works for me. I donāt mind self indulgence when the film maker has a strong idea they want to stick with and they keep the audience in mind too. What I hate is self indulgence at the expense of entertainment. (i.e. Peter Greenaway) When the director doesnāt give a damn about the poor sap who has just dished out hard earned cash and has to sit through 3 hours of rambling egotism. I donāt think Costner can be accused of that. He is ultimately a popular film maker.
Iād recommend Dance With Wolves to anyone who hasnāt already seen it, but donāt expect an action fest. It is a lot slower paced.
IF YOU WANT TO LIVEā¦SHOOT was viewed .
Full blooded Spaghetti , with no slapstick style comedy on offer here, but plenty of killings.

This is the one with Ivan Rassimov? Or another? (Sometimes hard to tell with all the damn shared or similar titles flying around! ;)).
Yes, that is correct the one with Ivan Rassimov.
It is the first western I have seen him in, and thought he was quite good.
He is an interesting actor to watch, he has a quality about him.

Yesā¦Iāve always been a big fan of his, so i have all his SW appearances, and i always thought it was a pity he wasnāt in more than five. MY favourite one is definitely Cowards Donāt Pray ( with Gianni Garko)ā¦itās a shame it hasnāt had a decent release. (tho, i believe there is a French dvd under the title Django Ne Prie Pasā¦but i canāt get hold of it at allā¦).
I finally watched Giu la testa, in the steel book special edition. also seen some of the specials with Frayling, whom i like a lot.
Very good film, i will write a larger statement later in the moviesĀ“ thread.
I look forward to seeing his other westerns in the future.
