[quote=āStanton, post:57, topic:206ā]Database comment (Korano may not like it):
Director Palli had written the screenplay for Killer calibro 32, from which he revived the character of Silver for The Price of Death. Only now with Gianni Garko in the lead Silver comes closer to the more popular Sartana. The film tells a murder mystery (well in fact two) with the usual foreseeable solutions, intersperses a few giallo elements and garnishes it at the oddest moments with some superfluous brawls in the stupidest slapstick manner. SW fast food which surprisingly doesnāt taste too bad.[/quote]
Iām not a fan of fast food.
And not a fan of Venditore di more.
But good comment, Stanton.
My review is also 4 / 10.
[quote=āJonathanCorbett, post:63, topic:206ā]The original title is āIl venditore di MORTE (DEATH)ā
The meaning of Venditore di more is Blackberry seller! ;)[/quote]
Ha, thatās funny.
Sebastianās thread so I think only he can change the title. :-[
Hey I liked this one, viewed it a few days ago and not that bad, not that bad.
We all know that most of these films were made in factory assembly line style, spending the less money possible, from the few they usually had for production, but in my view they really had a good idea with this detective story spag style, and saying the film deserved a litle bit more investement in production terms (better story, cenario etc), is the best complement I can think of for this one.
To have a Sartana kind of character that worked as a detective in the old west lived James Bond style in some Mexican Villa, not a bad thinking if you ask me, of course the plot is pretty much predictable, but it does flows well with minor mistakes, is not stupid at least, the comic elements donāt spoil the film by not beeing too intrusive, both the lawyer and the sheriff (more the last one) seemed good actors, Kinski displays is usual there is no other actor him, so not a bad idea that could have beeen even better developed, but in any case an OK film solid 3 stars.
Garko is pretty solid here, and the soundtrack pretty cool with a fantastic trumpet main theme (the intro fantastic), and if you pay attention some avant-guarde music during some scenes.
Like I said I did liked, and thatās all I care in a SW
I saw the old post back 120 days ago on this topic. I am looking for a copy of this movie if anyone has one please PM me. I had a DVD-r copy I bought back in 2006 but it doesnt work anymore. I personally think the movie was good and a fine job by Garko.
There are a few photos hidden on the Koch disc. Mostly different actors indicate that they only used the sets and maybe part of the crew to shoot the sex scenes parallel to the SW.
According to Giusti itās a (loose) trilogy, all three movies featuring the same character.
However, the PLL character in Killer adios is called Jessy in list with with characters. Iād have to check the Italian language version of the movie to see if heās called Silver in it.
Iāll see to this tonight. If itās not Silver Adios, Iāll change the text a little.
Iāve changed the text a little (but still call it a loose trilogy)
Which reminds me that I still have to do the third Spirito Santo movie (but the second was rather vulgar I havenāt been looking forward to the third ā¦)
What I know about the porn version is that there was no porn version of this film. Instead a porn was made at the same time using the sets and maybe some of the lesser known actors were in both films.
There are some screen shots of this porn film hidden on the Koch disc which show actors not seen in The Price of Death. And actually there are no scenes in The Price of death which could be used for porn material. Unless maybe Kinski masturbating while being bored in prison. But that is not on the photos.
Thatās what I understood too. Thereās apparently a lesbian scene with this actress Gela Genka and a French actress (who is not in the movie), plus a porn scene with a cameo actor. They were probably shot for another movie, but inserted in some illegal version.
I have the idea these guys from Nocturno suggest (and suspect) more than they really know.
It seems a bit foolish to make a porn version of this movie, maybe it wa just done by means of a joke and somebody made copies of the version they created? Names that pop up in relation to these porn versions are (among others) Fidani and Massacessi (Joe dāAmato)
I checked the photos again. Some show the first scene with the girl nude. So that could have been part of the film. But the photos of that scene donāt show more than usual in films back then.
And another one shows probably indeed this Genka girl also naked.
But the photos which are a bit more explicit contain an blonde short haired actress not seen in the film.
āAnd then thereās this hard-core scene, reportedly starring body builder Pietro Torrisi, who has an uncredited cameo in the movie, and an unknown blonde.ā
This info comes from the Nocturno side and is apparently also in that book āWild West Galsā (Is there a body builder on those pics?)
Iāll see if I can find more info on this Genka girl. Didnāt know her.
