Gli specialisti aka The Specialist/Specialists (1969)

[The Firecracker]

Listen, I've been waiting to see Fabian's nude body not only in this movie and never made it (though I haven't been through her whole filmography). In the bathtub scene she passes in front of the mirror but I only saw her naked back, not the buttocks. Her right nipple is maybe half visible before she dies; and in the bathtub scene I didn't notice any naked breast:if it's there it is subliminal.  

I honestly don't know what version you saw then. You must have seen a cropped version.
I can see her nipples just rising above the bathtub water (not to mention her butt in the mirror).

If you like...I can send you a copy of my copy so you don't miss out.

I honestly didn't find her that attractive to be honest. I would have rather seen Sheba nude.

The nudity in Companeros is very quick. Milian exposes the female revolutionary's breast in the very frist 10 minutes of the film.

I would have rather seen Sheba nude.

On that I agree: she's beautiful. But also Angela Luce boobs, to me, would have had their share of interest. As to Fabian, she not pretty but very sexy.
Anyway I'll check the french version.   

[The Firecracker]

Anyway I'll check the french version.   

I believe that is the version I have.
I traded with shobary a bit ago and got the "djangokill" fan made version. It's widescreen and the language switches from French to Italian throughout the film. You should probably acquire that version as the boobs are intaked.

Or you could wait for the english language version xploitedcinema will be getting soon.

CJ and I have the same copy, he can vouch for me.

[cigar joe]

Yes Fabian nude in mirror and in tub as per Firecracker's description. Also Hippy girl flashes.

[titoli]

CJ and I have the same copy, he can vouch for me.

I believe you even without his word. We're not at a trial. And the various versions of the same movie are common fare. Anyway, when I get time, I'll rewatch both the italian version and the french.

[The Firecracker]

I believe you even without his word.

I'm flattered

[pixelated]

can anyone tell me about the releases for this one?

xploited cinema's site only has one release, and it says it is french only audio.. it doesn't state anything about subtitles.. on sundances.net it shows a release has japanese subtitles, but not english..

so what release should i be looking for and where can i find it? really wanting to see this one

[cigar joe]

I barely remember somebody mentioning a possible South African release that will have English, if that helps.

[The Firecracker]

The character Hud looks cool he got a chain mail vest that must be made out of "mithril" from Lord Of The Rings, it does make sence to wear during his knife fights , but its a bit ridiculous to ask us to believe it will repell bullets.

from the SWWB:


in regards to the chain-maille vest---those actually did exist and were used by some law enforcement folks in the period after the Civil War. However, they were cumbersome and heavy. That was why they ceased using them, moreso than their inability to stop bullets.
Also, keep in mind we aren't talking about modern day firepower here. It really doesn't take much to stop a .44 or .45 slug fired from a period-authentic pistol (especially if that firearm is discharged at a distance of more than 10 or 12 feet away from its target). Shotguns and rifles are another story altogether, though.

Oh, and it wasn't exactly firearms that propigated the kiss goodbye to armoured warriors. It was the awkwardness and bulk of the armour (same reason the AZ rangers and pinkertons stopped using armour). Leaders of various armies found it was better for their men to be "light-weight" and therefore easier and faster to deploy. It became apparent to many of the Knights you speak of that these barbarians without armour were out-maneuvering them on the battlefields thanks to their armour.

But, then again...we have Ramon piercing that suit of armour in FISTFUL OF DOLLARS.....
But, he is doing so with rifle.
If you will notice, when Eastwood fires at the same suit, he shoots at the threaded portion below which losens the bonds holding the armoured skirting--he doesn't even try to shoot through the armour.



Hope this makes the chain mail Haliday wears less of a bother for you Joe

[Banjo]

Whats this ,CJ not doing his homework properly?

[cigar joe]

actually I'd ask you to wear it to prove it defleted bullets.  It still looks like BS

A quick search brings up silk as the first use.

In all honesty i have grave doubts that chain mail would deflect bullets especially after seeing an episode of Mythbusters where they proved that not only wouldn't the cliched metal cigar box prevent the penetration of a bullet but neither would a complete automobile.

Also i learned in school history lessons that the simple reason that armour plate and chain mail died out after medieval times was down to the advent of gunpowder.

[dave jenkins]

But on Mythbusters weren't they using modern powder loads?

[The Firecracker]

But on Mythbusters weren't they using modern powder loads?

exactly. Bullets during the time the film takes place were rather easy to deflect.


And besides I don't see how this has any baring of the movie being crap (which it isn't). It's a fantasy film and has fantasy elements.
FOD has that scene with Joe wearing a plate of iron that can deflect rifle shots at very close range. I don't hear any complaints about this.

No complaints because its about a 1/4 inch or more thick, which makes a difference.
