The Price of Death / Il venditore di morte (Enzo Gicca Palli, 1971)

Liked this one a lot. Great atmosphere and A FUCKING GREAT MARIO MIGLARDI SCORE AS USUAL.

Imo this one mixes the thriller/mystery genre with sw in a very succesful manner. Garko kicks ass once more. 4/5

I liked it alot as well, x-rated really know how to pick them.

Der Galgen wartet schon, Amigo! is the title on the print they use in the recent Sartana boxset AKA Price of Death.

I liked this one. As mentioned, a nice blend of giallo elements. Some very cool cinematography in the nighttime chase scenes.

Kinski. Kinski. Kinski. 8)

With the exception of the opening sequence, a scene in Garkoā€™s mansion, Klaus Kinskiā€™s minimal participation and Garko himself there isnā€™t much to watch here.

Slow and plodding.
The first Silver movie with Peter Lee Lawrence is much better.

EDIT: I will add that seeing all the back alleys at Elios studios is a real treat.
You donā€™t see those too often and puts to rest whatever rumors there were about the buildings being simply facades.

I thought this film was shit but at least it had garko and kinski in it. Plus Iā€™m looking forward to when wildeast releases it with one of my favorites, Killer Caliber 32.

Alex Cox claims that for The Price of Death ā€œhardcore porno scenes were shotā€, but ā€œthe sex seems to have been dropped from the finished filmā€.

Hard to believe.

Hard to believe.[/quote]Iā€™ve heard this rumour too. Sounds just too weird for me.

As I seem to be in a minority where this filmā€™s merits are concerned, I think I can safely refer to it as ā€œunder-ratedā€.

@Starblack:

You are not a minority here. I love it. Itā€™s in my top 20. Great film that is very satisfying.

Well, Garko played in some Lederhosn-flicks, so why not some erotic scenes in this oneā€¦

But hardcore scenes for a mainstream SW?

Yea, I was just kidding. I canā€™t imagine something like that either.

Well, Jess Franco used to do this with a lot of his films.
When I spoke with Robert Woods recently he said he deliberately kept his Franco films off his CV for years because there were porno versions of the films circulated including footage he had never been involved in.

Porno or some sex scenes?

As far as I know, porno.

I wouldnā€™t be surprised if the porno thing was true. Of course Garko and Kinski were not involved but some dude probably shot porno scenes and edited together with footage of the actual film to make a porno.

Similar to Death Played the Flute then. Edited into Porno Erotic Western. I wonder what that oneā€™s like???

Well, you can imagine what the flute gets used forā€¦

Michael from Koch mentioned at another forum a hidden feature in their upcoming DVD release, but he does not want to go into details. Things are getting interestingā€¦
