scoops35 Love this movie and have it in my archive. not sure why someone would call it a leone rip off. He just happens to be the most famous of the directors. But there were other influential ones created by the likes of Sergio Corbucci "Django" and this one by Giulio Petroni. All very entertaining all dubbed. If you say rip off then Leone rip offed Kurosawa .. but in my eyes its not rip off... remake or takings ideas is flattering in my eyes...Death rides a horse is great for a nice Spaghetti western marathon
Tip1954 This is a fun movie but certainly doesn't deserve the high praise it's getting in a lot of these reviews. About all it has going for it is Lee Van Cleef and he is mostly wasted. Lacks all the finesse and most of the originality of even many of the other Leone rip-offs.P.S. If you are a Mexican village under the evil domination of Bad Hombres and Lee Van Cleef arrives and promises to help out, your village elders might want to view this movie before accepting his help.
arfdawg-1 As a child, Bill witnesses the murder of his family by four robbers.Fifteen years later, he embarks on his revenge. During his quest, he crosses paths with Ryan, an ex-con who wants the money the robbers owe him.Saw the good reviews. Let me say up front the version I saw had the worst dubbing ever. People's mouths would move and no voice would come out until 4 seconds later. It was like some bad Japanese dubbed movie!That said, it's well made and apparently influenced Tarantino in Kill Bill. John Philip Law cannot act but Lee Van Cleef saves the day.I'm not a huge fan of spaghetti westerns, but I liked this movie. If you ARE a fan, you'll probably love it.
tcaramela This movie started off with a great opening scene with a bad storm and a family who gets slaughtered this is typical for SW movies a revenge for a slaughtered family theme. I liked how it showed four men masked and each man shows the boy some distinguishing feature to help him later in life identify each of the culprits with the exception of one who loses the bandanna around his face and is an easy spot. Another man comes in and saves the boy from the fire. Its a great western of two men who both have a score to settle with the same men. It is director Guilio Petroni's best western by most critics, I have yet to see his Night of the Serpent which is told to be a great second of his work. Lee Van Cleef gives a great performance in this one and the famous Ennio Morricone gives another brilliant score. I actually always have enjoyed the villain roles of Anthony Dawson and he is good in this one as well.
