There has been alot of talk on this board recently about Comedy SW’s. There are of course also “Musical SW’s” like Rita of the west, “Kung Fu SW’s”, Horror/Thriller SW’s like Django Kill, Murder Mystery SWs like Price of Power and Price of Death, Historical Biography SW’s like The Man who shot Billy the Kid, War SW’s like A reason to live a reason to die, Erotic SW’s like John the Bastard, and even blaxploitation SW’s like take a hard ride.
What are your favorite “Hybrid” Spaghettis that combine two or more different genre’s.
For my taste I like Django the bastard (Horror SW), My Name is Nobody (Comedy SW), and Shanghai Joe (Kung fu SW)
[quote=“alk0, post:2, topic:875”]John the bastard has no erotic elements[/quote]Everything has an element of everything - the beauty of a spaghetti western is that the most powerful elemments are usually the most subtly obscure - until the end… - macho men penetrating each other is so powerfully homoerotic that even the straightest men can’t get enough…
The nudity reminded me a bit of similar scenes in those kind of highschool movies in which boys constantly stalk girls who take a shower :a highschool shower spaghetti
The theme of the blind but lethal man is taken from a japanese series with a blind samurai: blind sukiyaki spaghetti
The man is blind but apparently has the eye of an eagle, which is total nonsens: nonsensical hocus pocus spaghetti
Blindman probably penetrates more men during the movie (not only in the end) than any other spaghetti hero : homo-erotic hard penetrating spaghetti
Nevertheless he requires no less than fifty women: soft porn tease only straight spaghetti
Ringo Star is in it: being one of the two Beatles still alive he apparently has survived a spaghetti western in which he was killed; The Beatles were more popular than God, so I suppose Ringo was resurrected on the third day after shooting: supernatural reli-kitsch spaghetti western
So Blindman is a highschool shower blind sukiyaki nonsensical hocus pocus homo-erotic hard penetrating soft porn tease only straight supernatural reli-kitsch spaghetti western .
Django Kill and Blindman are both 2 great films and two of my favorites. So it is hard to choose. I wouldn’t go so far and include the comedy SWs, because it is one of three SW periods ans there are many many examples. Or what do you all think?
I like Django the Bastard for it’s gothic horror elements. Great camera work helps considerably. I like Get Mean for its mixture of fantasy and medieval movies.
I like Four of the Apocalypse. It’s the strangest SW I’ve seen, and certainly a hybrid, but I liked it very much. And everyone seems to hate it… hey, it has super evil, mad, peyote addict Tomas Milian in a Jack Sparrow costume!
About erotic in SWs: hm, well, yes. Those endless gazings before the shootout… evil grin Not to mention the gay villains like White Snake, Curly, mexican gang in Django Kill shudders, and - I suspect - Stengel. He’s so… feminine.
I’ve seen it. Those trips were weird! I woudn’t call it a Spaghetti Western but more a Baguetti Western. The production companies were lead by the French with Mexico and England in with it. Some Spanish locations too. A hybrid indeed.
[quote=“Cheyenne, post:17, topic:875”]I Don’t know if it was a SW, but has anyone see Renegade?
One of my favorite parts is all the peyote trips. What a cool
Western. [/quote]
Is Renegade the Movie with Terence Hill?
After seeing The Silent Stranger I found my favourite Hyprid Western.
