7/10
Revenge story with an unusual twist
18 January 2004
Warning: Spoilers
The revenge story of this movie has got an unusual twist, because the hero (Giuliano Gemma) shot his brother himself! However, that was an accident as he was hired to shoot a gunman named "Blackeye" (in the German dubbed version, good for some laughs elsewhere) and little did he know... He was supposed to die in that shootout himself as well, but a dollar coin in his pocket stopped the bullet. Later he becomes a member of the gang that now rules the town, trying to find out who is the boss responsible for all this.

Shot in 1965 when spaghetti western was still fresh, this is a simple yet very entertaining movie although not a typical example for the genre, as it lacks the cynicism and ritualism of the later Django movies. But I hope no-one considers these to be necessary ingredients for a good western? Voted 7/10.
