In the beginning we are then introduced to our stalwart heroes from title role at a Cantina , there arrives Sacramento (Michael Forest) and , subsequently , a hunk man dressed in priest clothes called Jim (Fernando Bilbao or Fred Harrison) , there takes place the first brawls , punches , hits , slaps and kick-asses . Later on , on a train appears two bands attempting to rob a shipment of money from settlers , the first band is formed by Sacramento , Jim , and the Mexican Tequila (Luigi Bonos) and the second one led by an outfit of hoodlums (César Ojinaga , among others) hired by a nasty banker . But the protagonist trio get the robbed money . This crafty banker (Antonio Molino Rojo) then decides that he wants to get his hands on the money also and hires a bunch of bandits headed by Tony (Gaspar 'Indio' González) and rob it back . As Jim and his pals arrive in the small town , they are targeted by a the second outfit of robbers led by the astute banker . After getting away from unethical banker & his gang , they meet and help a group of women settlers led by the beautiful Jenny Mckinley (Malisa Longo) . Along the way, they face off new thieves , double-crosses , tramplers and a lot of twists and turns until an explosive final where is exploded : General supplies , Saloon ,livery stable , wall paper merchandise , dressmaker , General store , and other shops and buildings .
Average and hilarious tortilla Western in Terence Hill/Bud Spencer style in which three drifters carry out several adventures , aboard a train , saloon brawls and resolve a conflict among nasty robbers that want to take an amount of money . All in all , this film is predominantly a Spanish film rather than an Italian one . It's a two country co-production but is clearly dominated by the Spanish contingent and the traditional leanings of the Spanish producers of the time have their stamp on the entire proceedings . The Spanish westerns of this era were far more likely to try and emulate their American source material than cultivate a distinctive style of their own the way the Italians were doing but their product , though this "Now They Call Him Sacramento" has penchant for hilarious happenings , as if you like comical westerns remains lightly watchable . "I Bandoleros Della Dodicesima Ora" or ¨Le Llamban Calamidad¨ starts off with a colorful opening credits with Sacramento/Michael Forest attempting to tame his horse , it tends to center on the protagonists , likable Michael Forest , brawler Fernando Bilbao and sexy female cast member , Malisa Longo . Mediocre Butifarra Western realized in laughable style with a screenplay written by Giovanni Simonelli and the same filmmaker Alfonso Balcazar , including amusing dialogue , silly situations , plot twists and turns . Italian-Spanish co-production filmed in Catalunya , full of familiar faces , action , exaggerated characters , crossfire and lots of shots and fights . The film packs comical elements , tongue-in-cheek , thrills , shootouts , brawls , and results to be quite entertaining . It's a middle-budget film with ordinary actors , technicians , decent production values and average results . There is plenty of action in the movie , guaranteeing some shoot'em up or stunts every few minutes . It's an exciting western with breathtaking showdown between starring Michael Forest/Fernando Bilbao and his enemies , adding some thrilling scenes when takes place the small town destruction with plenty of explosions . In fact , ¨Le Llamaban Calamidad¨ can be considered the ¨swan-song¨ of the Paella/Tortilla or Chorizo Western , that's why the Western town in ¨Spugles De Llobregat¨ where during the 60s and70s had been shot hundreds of Westerns was really destroyed by blowing ups seen in the film , as producer/director Balcazar went to bankrupt and had to sell the terrains . The cast and support cast are passable . As sympathetic acting by starring quartet . Furthermore , there appears ordinary secondaries of Spaghetti/Paella Western , as Spanish players : Antonio Molino Rojo , Manuel Muñiz ¨Pajarito¨, Cesar Ojinaga , among others .
The picture being regularly photographed by Jaime Deu Casas , though is necessary a fine remastering because the film-copy is washed-out . Mostly filmed in atmospheric scenarios on location in Fraga , (Huesca) , similar to Almeria , and a Western village located in ¨Spugles De Llobregat¨ , it resulted to be the location where were shot lots of Westerns produced and directed by Catalan people as Alfonso Balcazar , J.J. Balcazar , Jose Antonio De La Loma , Juan Bosch , Xavier Marchal , Manuel Esteba , Ignacio F. Iquino , and Julio Buchs , among others , because Almeria was too far and the Fraga landscapes bear remarkable resemblance . There are many fine technicians and nice assistant direction and adequate production design by the usual Juan Albert Soler , he creates an acceptable scenario . Anti-climatic musical score by Willy Brezza in Guido and Maurizio De Angelis wake .
This motion picture was middleingly directed by Alfonso Balcazar , and with no originality ; he managed to make a fluid and filled with punches as well as fighting Western , though mediocre . Alfonso alongside his brothers Juan Jose Balcazar and Francisco Balcázar produced and directed a lot of Chorizo or Butifarra Western , most of them starred by Jorge Martin or George Martin , Luis Davila , Daniel Martin or Robert Woods ; such as 1972 The return of Clint , 1972 Judas... ¡Toma Monedas! , 1968 Sartana no Perdone or Sonora , 1967 With Death on Your Back, 1966 Dinamita Jim , 1965 Doc , Manos De Plata , 1965 Viva Carrancho , 1965 Five Thousand Dollars on One Ace . Rating : 4.5/10 . Average
