Nothing special

I recently saw this film on DVD and felt that it was nothing special. Another one of those Italian westerns where the good guy can do anything and never gets shot or killed. This time the hero can use poker cards to knock guns out of people's hands. Stupid, I know. Anyhow, the story is interesting and there is a weird Asian element to this story, which I liked actually, but the film lacks anything more than that. It's rather cheap too. The dubbing was horrible. The last scene with the Chinese guy was great. It would make Tarantino proud. But that was about it. Even the acting was a bit off, or weak. Perhaps that's because I saw the dubbed version. I doubt anyone would go out of their way to watch this, but if you do, be warned this is not like the great Eastwood westerns. This is NOT a Sergio Leone western.
