[HEX]

thanks for the list MARCO much abliged

From what I've about this film it sounds almost like One-Eyed Jacks with Marlon Brando? Could anyone who has seen both comment on this?

I loved One-Eyed Jacks, by the way

Forgot to mention,Marco, i was pretty well pleased with the Ruthless Four video,even though i felt the ok soundtrack was pretty uncharacteristic of Bruno Nicolai who is normally quite Morriconesque.All 4 leads were excellent and its great to see Kinski in a much more substantial role than his usual cameos in these here SW's.
Good storyline with some decent action too!!

Saw "The Ruthless Four" last night....& boy...how different a SW it was. I quite liked it.
The soundtrack...Bizet-like classical themes...flamenco-like guitar...was very uncharacteristic & quite good. Carlo Rustichelli was the composer..Nicolai the musical director.
The movie was mostly character driven...not action driven as most SW of its time....the leads..especially Van Heflin, were terrific.

Did you see the p&s vhs version too Boardwalk Angel?

Yes...it was VHS P&S. I don't think a proper version in the correct aspect ratio exists.

I picked mine up for about 4 dollars from USA Amazon-theres quite a few other sw bargains there if you look hard enough!

I loved Ruthless Four - thought it was great.  Thought the four characters, and their actors, were really good.  Plus, from memory, the music is misirilou?

Yes...I picked up on that..also strains of Ravel's "Bolero".

I'll have to watch it again.  I've been gradually showing a mate of mine a load of the SW's, and I think I may lay Ruthless Four on him shortly.

the shootout at the end was pretty frickin' awesome

although i agree that Hunter displayed some major over acting, i must say, i quite enjoyed the scene where Brewster raises his face to Seagall to show him who he is, and then flips out and pulls his guns

It has it's simlarities in the plot but it's a totally different movie as far as pacing goes.

I too enjoyed this film and am glad to announce that MGM and Sony are releasing a DVD of it on R1 this May. Could this be the catalyst to the return of my reviews, we will see
