Sartana Your Angel of Death

[The Firecracker]

I don't recall any fan gadgets in Angel of Death even

not really that many to choose from in "have a nice funeral". all you have is the razor edged playing cards and the steel watch. you can hardly call those gadgets.

Well i like them

[The Firecracker]

Well i like them

yes the last two are excellent entries. better than the first me thinks.

better than the first me thinks.

Ah! Perhaps i'm starting to sway you a bit

[The Firecracker]

Ah! Perhaps i'm starting to sway you a bit

hardly. I still stand by that "light the fuse...sartana is coming" is much better than the first.
it has more class.
with Berger or not!


"have a good funeral" and "sartana" are about the same, but "funeral" surpasses it a bit. even though it lacks the action the others have,  it has the best score of all the movies.

Don't you think that Frank Wolf(as Buddy Ben) looks totally ridiculous in the torn top hat? 

Actually..I like his outfit...& his appearance...unshaven, unkempt..kinda different for Frank Wolff.
Watching it in Italian...Garko calls him 'Boodie-Ben' 
and Kinski is 'Hott-eh Dedd-eh' 
That was fun.

The Franco cleef version(assuming that is the copy you saw) has an italian track?

Quote:-My cherished little copy used for this review is in Italian w/ English subs..so I can't comment on the English dubbed version...nor can I be aware of any changes or differences in the English translation (and there always are differences).
SW w/ a definite twinkle. 

No it can't be Firecracker

I am either blind or an idiot.
possibly both.

i haven't seen any of the sartana series but i do like william berger. a true unsung hero of the spag western. the only one you can get in the uk is sartana in the valley of death , is it worth getting?

no Indio I hear "sartana in the valley of death" is awful.

I think Marco said this isn't too bad-the main problem being the cuts!

This was on tv last sunday, so I had the chance to watch it again after some 40 years. It is not the best of Sartana's. even less Garko's. It has all those defects CJ pointed out to (but why did you watch it at all?), it has some longish scenes, foreseeable plot twists. Still is the kind of fun I can't find anywhere else, only in this series (not even in the Trinity movies, which are just too comedic, though unequalled in their kind). These could never had been made in USA.  This is another face of SW which has the italian touch. ANd I like so much Garko. And Kinski. I could watch Kinski recite a telephone book. Not the best SW, but to watch if you like SW's lighter tones.

It had the potential to be the best of the Sartana's but it fails somewhere half way through. The plot is unusually straight forward for the series but you get lost the last 10 minutes.
Agree with Shobary's rating (87%).

This is still easily my least favourite Garko Sartana.

The last 10 minutes are almost impossible to follow(but unlike Parolini's confusing Sartana this movie isn't engaging enough for me to care to much) and in places muffled dialogue doesn't help and the abrupt editing of some of the dialogue leads to to suspect there are cuts.

I remember reading once that the Franco Cleef  version (the supposed best version of this film possible) is actually cut by 7 full minutes!!!
