Whether it’s wrong or right, if it’s in the Italian title, why remove it?
Indeed.
Great film by the way. Definitely doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
The original O Cangaceiro is also great, but in a different way.
O’ Cangaceiro has been updated to the new layout (3.0). Let us know if you can add anything: pictures, posters, trivia, facts, figures, links, etc…

Film and Clips just recently uploaded this in very nice HD - Italian with English Subs 
Love this one. And the original, albeit for different reasons,
Fun to read the discussions in the thread of what constitutes a western.
I think it’s very cool that the SW genre was about more than just cowboys and indians, the traditional western themes.
I agree though that a “western” must take place in America, either north or south. (Not the Caribbean though, that would somehow be strange.) A western cannot be set in Australia for example.
And the time period must be within reasonable limits, early 1900s is ok but not later than that. The movie can only have those early “turn of the century” cars and other stuff, otherwise it gets too modern and not a western any longer.
Movies set in 1930s Great Depression are not “westerns”, they are something else.
But there are always a few exceptions, like Quigley Down Under (Australia), or Comes a Horseman and The Walking Hills, both set shortly after WW II.
On the other side The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is no western for me.
How about The Misfits ?
The Misfits is a 1961 American Contemporary Western film written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and starring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift.
These kind of films (also Hud or Bronco Billy) are related to the genre, they are close. Others include them, I don’t.
Hmm, but then Lonely Are the Brave is very close. Maybe it counts …
But of course more important is how entertaining, how good they are, not to which genre they belong. But this kind of definitions are still fun to do …
the upcoming French BluRay supposedly has English subtitles, what a time to be alive

Lovely news! I’ll be getting that
By the way, the “gaucho” was the South American equivalent to the North American “cowboy” taking care of cattle on The Pampas.
I read somewhere also that the Dollars trilogy and Clint himself with his poncho was very popular in South America during the 1960s.
Copied from the Spagvemberfest 2024 thread:
Is it worth going for the French blu ray? Ive never actually seen a minute of this one.
Personally, I love this one. So I would recommend going for it.

Pretty solid, writing up a full on review of this, as well.
New review of the film and BluRay: O’ CANGACEIRO

Thanks for the review. Looks like it didn’t carry over the extras from the old French DVD, which is a shame. However, I’d love to know more about that deleted scene.
it’s just some religious stuff from the phase where he is under the tutelage of some monk… it really adds nothing to the story
Ah ok. I have the old French DVD with all the nice extras, but I’m still tempted to get a copy of this BD though.
It’s a shame there is no English audio. Apparently it exists somewhere, and Milian no doubt did his own dubbing (along with the Italian version)
