The forgotten brother of Matteiās notorious Scalps[/url], White Apache starts off very poorly with a comically overplayed massacre and a family film atmosphere of brotherly rivalry. Fortunately the film picks up speed later and has a reasonably effective storyline.
Not as good as Scalps, it is still worth watching and the Spanish DVD looks very good, with English audio -
Havenāt seen the film, but the opening seems similar to the first scenes of Soldier Blue, while the other aspects (child being raised by indians) remind me of Little Big Man.
During this one I also had a shower and smoked a couple of cigarettes on the balcony. I felt I didnāt miss much upon my returns. SCALPS looks like ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST compared to it. Tape was in quite bad condition too so I might as well throw it in the trash-bin in my next tape clearance.
This one was easily the worst SW Iāve seen so far. Scalps was amusingly bad, this was just boring. And the āoccasional stock footageā is like a 3rd of the movie or something.
It did have some hilarious moments, but there were so much parts where nothing happened that itās not really worth watching unless youāre a Mattei or SW completist.
Mattei strikes again.
Yep, Apaches were supposed to be the fierciest indian tribe but here theyāre getting their ass kicked not by soldiers but some posse from local small town.
Sebastian Harrison canāt act but fortunately heās playing mute for the most of the time, his war cry is priceless and made me laugh everytime. Thereās some other unintentional humor like the scene where the angry mob is trying to lynch a man just because heās not fond of massacring the indians.
Bad film but maybe not as bad as Beyond the Frontiers of Hate or White Comanche. Good thing there isnāt that much Italian westerns about indians as most of them suck.
Not the greatest Spaghetti out there, but there is still alot worse than this one for me. One recent one I re viewed which is worse is the super boring Halleluja and Sartana Strike Again!

Certainly lot the worst spaghetti, thatās true. Stanton says āmediocre, but not completely boringā, not a bad way to typify this movie, although I would say ābelow average, but not completely worthlessā. Problem for me is that it couldāve easily been a lot better. The premise is okay, but very little is done with it. Mattei is also a rather erratic director, some scenes are reasonably well executed, others seem improvised, not directed at all.
Ha, ha. I sort of like this in alot of ways. Just captures that something re atmosphere of the Spaghetti westerns from years ago. But yes the film is mostly tacky, with the Indians looking to much like the Indians from old U.S westerns. The violence is there, but not used to great effect though. So what do I like ā¦the crap style of it all
White Apache does have that āso bad itās goodā feel to it sometimes. It depends on the mood really. Havenāt watched Matteiās spaghettis in a while but I seem to remember enjoying this one a bit more than Scalps. I will have to re-watch them back to back.
Finally saw this one, thanks to @Pumaman
I didnāt think it would be that bad (and itās by all means not all trash, nor is it the worst), but it really isnāt worth the time. It really is strongest in the beginning and towards the end, and there are some admirable moments that speak of a certain ambition, but itās neither authentic nor sleazy enough to be honest Gonna watch Scalps next, which is supposedly better.
