THE SPECIALIST- Very good opening sequence
TASTE OF VENGEANCE- Suspenseful opening sequence with Garko.
JOHNNY HAMLET-Another gothic western from Corbucci, at least by the opening anyway. Very surreal. Love that organ music.
MY NAME IS PECOS- Nifty opening scene that's sets up the title of the movie. A Mexican hero this time out. Robert Woods and Peter Martell star.
SONNY & JED- Milian, Susan George and Telly Savalas! Morricone score! Milian dubs his own voice! Corbucci directs! 'Nuff said!
APOCALYPSE JOE- Anthony Steffen in what looks loke a really quirky role. Eduardo Fajardo again. These two obviously enjoyed working together.
SARTANA KILLS THEM ALL- Garko and Chris Huerta. My friends friend has this the 35mm reels of this in english.
BURY THEM DEEP- Gravel faced Craig Hill stars. Another Nico Fedinco score. Looks to be pretty good. Apparently, Hill teams up with a criminal he had put away to catch some robbers.
HATE THY NEIGHBOR- Big George Eastman is in this. Love the credits sequence. Very inventive. Directed by Ferdinando Baldi. This should be good.
A TRAIN FOR DURANGO- The opening bit is quite funny. Anthony Steffen, Mark Damon and Aldo Sambrell. Duccio Tessari writes Enzo Barboni is the cinematographer. Appears to be a comedy of sorts. Don't know who the director is. I'll assume it's Tessari.
DEATH PLAYED THE FLUTE- Another rarity. Looks to be kinda grim with ample amounts of low budget sleaze. Seems to be a bit like the 1966 Shaw Brothers movie BELLS OF DEATH.
BUDDY GOES WEST- Bud Spencer goes solo. A Morricone score and Michele Lupo directs this comedy.
THE SPECIALIST: Excellent Corbucci!
The gunfights are the best Corbucci ever made! The who-dun-it plot is a little preposterous but who cares? Great climax!
TASTE OF VENGEANCE: One of Garko's better non-Sartana western movies.
I like it a great deal. Very dark.
JOHNNY HAMLET: Okay spaghetti by Enzo G. Castellari.
Has some very nice sets (the cave cemetery), some celver gunfights (under the stairs shoot out) and a good main theme.
Pre-cursor to Castellari's masterpiece KEOMA.
MY NAME IS PECOS: Slightly above average entry starring Eastman as a mexican Peon.
The opening is probably the best the scene the film has to offer (even though it doesn't make any sense that a racist gringo would give away his gun to a mexican). Their are some lovely ladies with large cleavage! Direction is pretty pedestrian. The main theme is a pretty obvious rip-off of The Animals' THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN.
Stay away from the light hearted sequel "Pecos Cleans Up".
SONNY AND JED: One of Corbucci's weakest efforts but still an enjoyable movie. The setting is much like Django's, it takes place during the winter but no snow. Nice town dilapidated sets by Carlo Simi.
Despite the bleak atmosphere this one is a pretty light hearted affair.
Fans usually note this for having a plethora of bad language. It's true.
APOCALYPSE JOE: One of Steffen's best! It's a non-stop shoot em up with Steffen dispatching his foes using quirky traps and tricks.
Fajardo is of course slimy as always. Popcorn fun!
SARTANA KILLS THEM ALL!: read my very positive review here...
http://www.fistful-of-leone.com/forums/index.php?topic=4319.0BURY THEM DEEP: I'll have to sit through this one again because I couldn't get past the first dull 20 minutes despite the positive reviews I have heard.
HATE THY NEIGHBOR: My Favorite Baldi movie! Great shoot outs, kinky torture and one well edited fist fight in a barn. The very end is sadly an anti-climax.
A TRAIN FOR DURANGO: A surprsingly above (slightly) average Steffen western with a very good cast of leading actors.
Mark Damen is easily the best thing in the film.
Directed by Mario Caiano.
DEATH PLAYED THE FLUTE: I have a lenghty review of this somewhere...
It's good but a bit on the bland side. The vicious rape/ murder opening and the atypical ending is great!
EDIT: review can be found here...
