Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Lack of good storyline.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreTheir first official movie Spencer and Hill stared in together, a classic spaghetti western. Ironically it was Hill who started out as the harsher character while Bud played the more amicable guy. It was an entertaining enough movie, but if you're looking for the humourous slapstick comedy we have come to expect from these guys, you won't get it. Unlike "They call me Trinity", it's a very serious Western with little in the way of humour, although I do find the shoot outs amusing as the guns seem to fire off more like cap guns than real guns. What intrigues me here is the voice dubbing. Bud was dubbed by the man who was to do his voice in most of his movies; Glauco Onorato. Hill usually did his own English voice dubbing, but in this one he has someone else doing his voice, a much colder and harsher voice to match his character. I guess it's not surprising that they needed to do that, otherwise his character, Cat would just not have the same menacing aura to him. Perhaps for the same reasons Bud is normally voiced by Glauco. This was the first in a series of three movies using these two characters.
View MoreThis film begins with a train carrying a dignitary to a small town in the wilderness. However, once it pulls into the station it comes to a sudden halt and it's then that the residents of the town realize that all but one man on the train have been shot and killed. It is then disclosed that a man by the name of "Bill San Antonio" (Frank Wolff) was behind the train robbery and an insurance agent by the name of "Hutch " (Bud Spencer) wants to recover the stolen money. It's at this point that he meets up with a stranger named "Cat" (Terence Hill) and asks him if he will help him out. But Cat has a long standing beef with Bill and wants to settle the score with him all by himself. Even so, Hutch is not dissuaded so easily and subsequently follows Cat in the belief that he will lead him straight to Bill and the stolen gold. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a decent "Spaghetti Western" with the added benefit of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer performing together for the very first time. It is followed by the sequel "Ace High".
View MoreI always love Hill-Spencer's movies since 1976 when l'd watched the first one,since then every movie from both l watched in fullness...on "Dio perdona...lo no!" is an unusual situation between the star in this case they are complete antagonists,Hill is a gambler who was trapped by the chief band's robbers and Spencer work to insurance company where he has to recover the US$ 300.000 in gold that was stolen on a train robbery...this movie is more serious from the couple...the result is good...the partner was so long is cinema's history...sadly Bud Spencer let us forever!!!
View MoreSaturday morning and time for a western - a spaghetti western with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, who have appeared together a couple of dozen times.Hill can be found in some of the most popular movies today, like Wanted and Get Smart. He has been in many films under the name Mario Girotti; this is only the second film where he used his present name. It is the first film where Bud Spencer, previously Carlo Pedersoli, appears under that name.Lots of shoot-em-up action. Really not bad for a PG-1 western. Would have expected more from something that came from Italy.
