4 April 2021
Based on the adventures of Tex Willer , a known hero of the Italian comic strips by Giovanni Bonelli . It is a typical Spaghetti but mingling it with magic, witchery, fantasy and necromancy. It tells Tex Willer's : Giuliano Gemma exploits , his feats and misfortunes along with Kit Carson : William Berger and Tiger Jack . This time they confront a band of gunrunners who are selling weapons to a strange group of Indians who want to reborn the Aztec empire by killing White Men .

Late Spaghetti Western packing thrills , go riding , shootouts and adding some fantastic elements . The film failed at the boxoffice and hardly ever exhibited in European screens , in fact it was actually the pilot of a TV series produced by RAI television, but due to its flop , didn't go on shooting other episodes . Stars Giuliano Gemma who in the Sixties and Seventies played a lot of Pasta Westerns , being especially known for A Pistol for Ringo and Return of Ringo, along with other notorious Spaghettis as Arizona Colt, California, Death of a President, Wanted, The White, the Yellow and the Black, Day of Anger, Ringo the revenger, Adios Gringo, among others. . He is accompanied by the veteran William Berger who also perfomed a large number of Spaghetti Westerns . Alongside several familiar faces from Paella Western due to be shot in desert of Tabernas , Almería, Spain , such as : Aldo Sambrell, Charly Bravo, Ricardo Palacios, Hugo Blanco, Jose Luis Villalonga and Frank Braña.

It displays an agreeable musical score with catching leitmotif by musician Gianni Ferrio who composed several Spaghetti soundtracks. The motion picture was regularly directed by Duccio Tessari whose fetish actor was Giuliano Gemma with whom worked in various Spaghetti and Peplum movies . Rating : 5.5/10 . Regular but passable and acceptable . The flick will appeal to Spaghetti Western fans .
