Yes, strange Italian title, Blu Gang, e vissero per sempre felici e ammazzati, literally: āBlue Gang, and They Lived Happily and Dead Ever After.ā Probably a pun on vissero sempre felici e contenti (they lived happily ever after), replacing contenti with ammazzati (past participle of ammazzare, to kill)
Hopefully a company can give it a proper release. I thought it was an interesting film, although I found myself unable to sympathise with the characters.
Just revisted this one. Like said earlier on in this thread, elements of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. And why not have a go, seeing as that film earned a Fistful Of Cash. But I do not really identify with the Blue Gang as to whether or not they die or not, and the outcome comes clear as the film pans out. Couple of very intense and well staged shootouts reminded me a little of Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid, which was more apparent in the better print I viewed. Jack Palance looks cool as hell in the film, and says about 6 words, billed top in the castā¦what a beer cheque !
Once this post popped up, I had to watch the movie immediately as itās one Iāve been wanting to see for a while. I would like to see a really nice copy of this film and this isnāt a complaint because beggars canāt be choosers - I was just happy to see it. The reason I would like to see a really nice copy is that it is easy to see that it was absolutely beautifully filmed and if the other elements had matched the photography, this would undoubtedly be a classic in the genre.
As is, it is an interesting film that does keep oneās interest throughout. I couldnāt help but think that in addition to containing a ton of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid elements, there was also quite a bit of Bonnie and Clyde in there as well.
