sabata (1969)

aka Ehi amico... c'è Sabata, hai chiuso!
Several highly regarded members of a small Texan town, led by Stengel (Franco Ressel), have robbed a bank. But Sabata (Lee Van Cleef), interrupts proceedings, kills the robbers, returns the money and when he finds out who is behind the bank job, tries to blackmail Stengel. Stengel decides that it would be quicker and easier to just kill Sabata. Sabata in turn isn't taken with this plan and decides that Stengel needs to be taught a lesson. All the while Banjo (William Berger), looks on and tries to figure out how to profit from both sides.
This is a fun western as long as you like lots of action, over the top body counts and cartoon like wise cracking characters and if not, why are you watching a spaghetti western, surely that's what they are known for? Oh and a wonderful example of how to do a a spaghetti western soundtrack by Mercello Giombini.
