What makes it different from others?
Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View MoreEx-Confederate Richard Harrison returns home from the war to find his father murdered by a ruthless land baron. Caught in the act of exacting revenge, he escapes with bandito Fernando Sancho and become hunted men, squaring off against the famous bounty hunter Sabata.With the nearly non-stop exaggerated movements of it's characters, the rapid-fire dubbing and comedic elements, this bogus sequel to Sabata seems almost like a comic book come to life or a live-action cartoon. It's all pretty broad, though fun to watch, the humor being a bit easier to take than a lot of other Italian westerns. It was better than expected and quite satisfying in the revenge department.Harrison and Sancho, who can seemingly play these type of characters in his sleep, make a good team.
View MoreThe spaghetti western character of Sabata wasn't ripped off as much as Django, but it did happen several times, this western being one of them. Although Sabata is named in the title, surprisingly he is not the central character of the movie - he's a supporting character. Also, he is made to be a villain, not a heroic character. Most of the movie is focused on the characters played by Richard Harrison and Fernando Sancho. The two actors have some good chemistry together, and also manage to deliver a considerable amount of light comic relief, which is welcome. There is a significant problem with the movie, and that is that the middle section of the movie moves at a crawl, with little done to advance the story. But if you are patient, the movie ends up being an okay spaghetti western.
View MoreThis is a very entertaining spaghetti western. It is a serious revenge story with a little bit of humor thrown in. It has an interesting story, and the humor succeeds without dominating the tone of the film.The music score is also very good, and surely won't disappoint any spaghetti western purists who see the movie.The always great Fernando Sancho gives the best performance in this film. He plays a Mexican bandit who teams up with a former confederate soldier. Their goal is to wipe out a tyrannical town boss who is partly responsible for the death of the soldier's father.How can any spaghetti western fan not like a movie whose main female character is named Violence? What's even cooler is that everyone acts like it is just a normal name for a girl.This one is definitely worth a look for all fans of Euro-westerns.
View MoreSteve (Richard Harrison) is chasing Miller, the man who presumably hired the murderer of his father. He finds him after 15 minutes already but no, the movie isn't that short. The sheriff stops Steve before he can have his revenge and accuses him of murder instead. Steve has to rely on the help of the bandit Leon (Fernando Sancho) to escape from the law. Later he will return and fall in love with the fiancée of his enemy Miller Revenge western with an occasional funny touch, like the same stagecoach being held up three times in a row till the coach driver goes mad, the lazy gunman who shoots the wrong men because he didn't bother to look, or Leon counting the heads of his children, but not remembering their names. Quite entertaining, though nothing extraordinary for the genre.
