Who in your opinon is the most brutal character in a sw?

They surely did.

I also noticed. BTW natos99, Welcome to the forum & nice avatar. Groovy!

Jack Sparrow ???

As in Johnny Depp from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Yes, would be my pick also. The killing of a child, it doesn’t get any worse than that. Measuring the degree of brutality beyond this point becomes kind of pointless I think.

Frank Wolff’s character in ā€œLast of the Badmenā€ has to be mentioned as well. He burns woman alive in her house and crucifies a man using screws

I agree with Kinksi in Great Silence I also add Volante in For a Few Dollars More.

I’d say Duncan in Navajo Joe.

yes also him i forgote

Garko in Blood at Sundown, and Jeff Cameron’s character in Say Your Prayers and Dig your Grave. The latter because its rare to see Jeff Cameron really enjoying a character role, and he does it in a spectacular way, if only he had this energy in more films.

Chaco (Tomas Milian), Four of the Apocalypse
Loco (Klaus Kinski), The Great Silence
Mr. Sorrow (Roberto Camardiel), Django Kill (or maybe just everybody in Django Kill altogether)

…And even though it’s not a SW, I’m also going to doff my trembling and terrified cap to The Stranger (Clint Eastwood) in High Plains Drifter, since HPD has always felt incredibly Spaglike to me.

From the SW’s that I have seen,- William Berger as Machedo in Fasthand comes to mind-.

Yep, watched ā€œFasthandā€ yesterday. Machedo is a brutal badass, no question. But is he really top-notch like Chaco, Indio or Loco?

Well, as far as I’m concerned, they are all in the same boat, or a dinghy or whatever. :slight_smile:

I’ll name a couple of good guys, both played by Anthony Steffen

Garringo: Am I the only one who finds him scary? This man has no chill and he’s damn violent. He’s definitely the definition of accomplishing the goal no matter the cost.

Django (Django the Bastard): I love him so much, he’s literally my comfort character. But I must admit, he’s terrifying and brutal. He can appear and disappear in a matter of seconds, is a deadly gunslinger who is only after revenge and sets traps for those he wants dead. Also, his whole demeanor is just plain horror: That an emotionless face and those blank intese eyes. If I saw him on the street, I would run and not look back because this guy means trouble.

If I was a bad guy, I wouldn’t want this man to come after me. That would mean an agonizing and painful death. I was really terrified of Jack Murphy the first time I saw the film.

Anyway, Lazar from Dead Men Don’t Make Shadows gives me brutal vibes for some reason. I think it’s because of what’s implied of him and his reputation. Firstly, he shoots the wanted in the forehead and even a mean-looking outlaw played by Gordon Mitchell was scared of him. Then there’s the fact that Lazar is holding an old man prisoner in the middle of nowhere, promising to prove his innocence, but in reality, he does nothing. The flashback scene where he was chasing the men in the desert also made him seem brutal. Maya also sensed his bad aura. Last but not least, everyone in the film knows him as Lazar, the notorious bounty killer.
