Two Violent Men / I due violenti / Los rurales de Texas (Primo Zeglio, 1964)

I’m curious about this early spag!.. Has anyone seen it? Any good?

Database page: Rurales de Texas, Los - The Spaghetti Western Database

Looks pretty good, but what the hell was the part with the guy with a traschcan on his head about?

I’ve just dug this one out Brother Chameleon and I intend to watch it soon.
However - the version I got ain’t nothing like the quality of that youtube clip - mine’s fullscreen so there’s stuff missing at the sides.
Mind you - I’ve seen worse quality, and on first impressions it looks ok as a story.
I’ll get back to ya…

Watched this one this morning.
It was so un-spaghetti I thought I’d better doublecheck it is actually a SW. Unlike lots of other early SWs Two Violent Men is not at all ground breaking. On the contrary (in my opinion) it has a very old fashioned feel even for it’s day. It is an Italian/Spanish co-production but feels and sounds very, very American . I wouldn’t think it would be to the Rev’s likin’ or to anyone elses who likes 'em mean and gritty and not over wordy but I am a man of simple pleasures so was quite entertained for an hour and half.
Think I will give it a 5/10.

Spooky Rev.
Aint seen ya for months. Aint been on here for months. This thread aint been posted on for months.
Then I watch it and post at same time as you.
Must be an act of GOD.

That is spooky Tigger - dunno about an act of God though - I think darker forces may be at play, after all ā€˜tis All Hallow’s Eve’.
33 years eh!? Spooky in itself :wink:

I lied… It’s back in the box!

I’ve seen this one in the past days. I think it is a good exempl of early spaghetti western, with lots of influences from American westerns (the theme song for example seems robbed from The Magnificent Seven) , but still well directed.

Here some screens from the spanish tvrip:

The Blu-ray from HanseSound, a world premiere release with a runtime of 1:33:33.
Audio: German and Italian
Subtitles: German
Extras: 23 German lobby cards, the NFP film program, a photo gallery featuring posters and stills, trailers for Captain Apache and 3 other non-SW titles.
According to HanseSound, the German dub was newly produced specifically for this release, as the original theatrical dub could not be found any more.

Dub sounds like crap. Like KI (AI) made…a disaster.

what a bunch of morons…

Also aspect ratio is wrong.

Blu Ray is 1,78:1…. original 2,35:1

What - no English track. I have just bought this as the specs had an English track!

no, the specs as far as they were known, that’s a difference. There’s always a risk with these releases until someone actually pops it into the player and confirms this stuff.
Sorry amigo, hope you can return it?

Database error:
German subtitles!

whoops sorry, shouldn’t work on the SWDb after a few glasses of vino :slight_smile:

But this movie wasn’t actually that bad… :cowboy_hat_face:

Are the German subtitles any good? how is the Italian audio?

German dub and subs are identical, a Translation of the italian audio. It’s clear to understand, including the background noise and the music, which isn’t the case with the German dub. Professionell audio about 20.000€, that was too expensive for HanseSound.
