    No one can peer from beneath the brim of a hat like... MANNAJA!

    Blade has a wicked tomahawk chop. Late entry in the spaghetti western genre is above average even if its theme song gets played to death

    Another classic spaghetti western. I love these.
    PS The main actor was hot ;)

    Rather good, gritty spaghetti western. Interesting that the hero uses an axe as his weapon.

    Sergio Martino's 2nd and last foray into the western genre.
    A violent, surreal and stylish film with narrative elements taken from Once Upon A Time In The West and A Fist Full Of Dollars.
    Some great muddy fist fights, heavy use of slo-mo and a very strange theme song.
    A must ...( read more)for Spaghetti western completists and a curiosity worth seeking out.

    Starring Maurizio Merli, what more will I say? He's the best actor of all time and no one will ever beat him, end of story. Watch this film, enjoy it. It will do you good.
