C'è Sartana... vendi la pistola e comprati la bara (1970)

funny spaghetti western with Sartana and Sabata as protagonists, 6 July 2005
Author: ma-cortes
Sartana(George Hilton)is a freelance gunman which in the initiation film works as as bounty killer.After helps to a Mexican family and a ¨posse¨of bandits (leader is Nello Pazzafini)tries reckoning and kill him.Posteriorly is contracted by a rich owner man(Piero Lulli)to guard the miners's payroll that is continuously robbed. Other cocky gunman(Charles Southwood) appears in the city and the confrontation will be inevitable .
The first movie on Sartana is by Frank Kramer(Gianfranco Parolini)interpreted by John Garco(Gianni Garco) besides was Kinski and William Berger.After continued Alfonso Balcazar(Sartana non perdona or Sonora). Miles Deem directed two Sartanas considered awful. Anthony Ascott(Giuliano Carmineo) realized several with George Hilton who replaces to Garco.Hilton plays more natural and roguish than Garco who was cold and peculiar. In this film Sartana has a partner(Charles Southwood) called Sabata but isn't the hero created by Frank Kramer with Lee Van Cleef. The movie has the characters typical Spaghetti,thus:the violent facing,greedy antiheroes,bloody and spectacular showdown,quick zooms,extreme baddies. In the picture are the habituals secondaries western:Folco Lulli,Nello Pazzafini(usual of peplum),the Eurotrash Goddess:Erika Blanc . Francesco De Masi music is nice and atmospheric, he's a good musician western with enough scores. The movie is regularly directed but is entertained.

A fine, hypnotic Western, 6 March 2005
Author: AshenGrey from Baltimore, Maryland. United States
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I picked up this film for $5 I and I've played it at least 5,000 times since! I think it's shot in an alternate reality. why do I say this? Read on:
Apalousa is a strange land where sticks of dynamite NEVER explode.
In Apalousa Sartanna can only shoot people in groups of three. _Also, in this mysterious town, a mine owner can hire a band of crooks to rob the stage coach EVERY week, but the Mines don't think to hire their own transport?
Of course, there is always the utter coolness of Sartanna's friend Sabbath. He's an obviously gay gunslinger who is also a force to be reckoned with. I love it when he blows out the knees off the low-rent psycho Flint Fawcett, then tells him he doesn't know how to bow to a lady.
Probably the coolest scene is the "Talismanic Poker Scene" where Sarthnh, Sabbath, Trixiei and Samuel start with a $5 ante, yet end up with about ten grand on the table - after playing just one hand!
Oh, and to add to the coolness, all the main characters have their own theme music! Neat-0!

somewhat bewildering, but very entertaining, 22 December 2007
Author: spider89119 from United States
This is a fun movie with interesting characters, and lots of spaghetti western style. I found it very entertaining, although it has some story elements that don't seem to make a lot of sense.
George Hilton does a fine job of portraying "Sartana," the bounty hunter/detective/vigilante more often played by Gianni Garko. Hilton's style is slightly different, but he plays the part equally as well as Garko. The real show-stealer here is Charles Southwood as "Sabbath," a bounty hunter who dresses in all-white, carries a white parasol, and lives by the values taught to him by his mother. Sartana and Sabbath are both oddballs, each in his own way, but Sabbath is so eccentric he makes Sartana look normal. One of the many amusing parts of the film is when Sabbath comes riding into town with his parasol, and one of the townsfolk sees him and says "what's the west coming to?" Sartana and Sabbath play off of each other quite well, and their interactions are fun to watch, especially when they square off near the end of the film.
A great music score by Francesco DeMasi, along with some excellent camera work, help make this euro-western above average in the style department, but the somewhat muddy plot doesn't do it justice. It's basically about how a crooked town boss is taking gold from the local mines and replacing it with sand before it is shipped. Then he hires Mexican bandits to "rob" the shipments so that nobody will know that they were ever replaced with sand. In comes Sartana to save the day, though his motives for wanting to find the gold are selfish. A little while later, Sabbath shows up, supposedly for the same reason. That much is pretty cut and dry, but the problem is with the details. While the basic idea of the scam going on with the gold is easy to understand, some of the actions of the characters in the story don't make any sense, or perhaps aren't explained very well. Maybe the American version is poorly edited. That would explain a lot, but I don't know if it's the case.
The best way to watch it is to sit back, relax and enjoy the cool characters and style of this spaghetti western without trying to make sense out of everything that happens. When viewed with that attitude, it's actually one of the more memorable and entertaining films of the genre.

A Fistful of Entertainment, 29 June 2002
Author: Brandon Williams (Brandon-26) from Oakville, Ontario
I was going through a shelf of movies at my local Wal-Mart when I found this one on sale for $8.88 on DVD. Being really into the Sergio Leone films, I felt this might be something interesting and worth buying. So I bought it and watched it. Although not a classic, it's a surprisingly good spaghetti western. Lots of zooms and the usual spaghetti-style stuff. Only complaint is the amount of twists. Although they keep you on your toes, you can get lost.
