Featured review
A band of tough gunslingers carry out a diversionary heavy fire set-up in a State Mental Prison as part of their scheme to rob a gold shipment in a bank of Dodge City . Meanwhile , four convicts escape together from a madhouse , these are the followings inmates : One of them is a young called Chuck Mool played by Leonard Mann , Woody Strode as Woody , Pietro Martellanza (as Peter Martell) as Silver and George Eastman (as Luca Montefiori and screenwriter , though uncredited) as Hondo . One of the escaped reveals his name , Chuck Mool , ¨a man without past¨ , as he hasn't records . Without memory , he gone back from a dark past and the three other convicts with reputation for being fast-guns help him to getaway and to find back bits of his existence . As the gang being pursued and chased by a sheriff (Enzo Fiermonte) and bounty hunters , they are detained but they get escaped . Later on , some tracks lead them in a small town that turns out to be the Chuck Mool's hometown , a location dominated by violent gangs and nasty gunfighters . In that place there are dangerous bands and two warring families led by Udo family and Joe Caldwell (Helmuth Schneider) family and their sons and hoodlums . Chuck is reintroduced to his family but things go wrong . There he learns that has been paid to avenge against nasty villainous , as he has to kill a wealthy owner , but then to be aware he results to be his father .
This exciting Spaghetti contains noisy action , thrills , riding pursuits , shootouts , brawls at saloon in Hill/Spencer style , and turns out to be a passable Western and entertaining enough . There is a breathtaking final showdown between the protagonist , his friends and their enemies , as well as a dramatic result when things come to a tragic denouement . The picture is starred by Leonard Mann as the young man who has lost his memory , an amnesiac who hopes to find out who he is and where he comes from . Mann is good in his usual two-fisted role , he starred two classy Pasta western : ¨Gunmen of Ave Maria¨ and ¨Vengeance Is a Dish Eaten Cold¨. Other colleagues who escaped from prison are the followings convicts : George Eastman or Luigi Montefiori as his partner . Luigi starred as an extra but Italian westerns soon followed , usually under the pseudonym "George Eastman" . He once reportedly missed out on a role in a Franco Nero western because his height made Franco Nero look too short . As he performed several Pasta Westerns , such as : ¨Django Taciturno¨, "Django Sees Red" , ¨Keoma¨ , "Humpty Dumpty Gang" , "The Unholy Four" , and "The Three Musketeers of the West". Never quite "typed" , Luigi played some of them as main actor , others as secondary player . Soon moved into other film genres playing good guys , bad guys, and good-bad guys . These parts often exploited his athletic physique by having him remove his shirt, perhaps most memorably in Lina Wertmüller's Belle Starr (1968) . And the American Woody Strode who starred the John Ford classic , ¨Sergeant Rutledge¨ , and other Spaghettis as ¨Boot Hill¨ , ¨Shalako¨ , ¨The deserter¨ , ¨Keoma¨, among others . And Peter Martell who starred a lot of Spaghetti , such as : ¨Two Brothers, One Death¨ , ¨Two crosses in Condor Pass¨ , ¨Long day of massacre¨ , "His Name Was Pot... But They Called Him Allegria" and ¨Forgotten Pistolero" along with Leonard Mann . Charismatic acting for the whole support cast . Secondary cast is plenty of familiar faces from Spaghetti Western , such as : Luciano Rossi , Enzo Fiermonte , Remo De Angelis, Roberto Del'Aqua , Romano Puppo and the beautiful Evelyn Stewart or Ida Galli .
Emotive as well as thrilling musical score by Riz Ortalani , this soundtrack is one of the best parts of the film , plenty of catching and attractive sounds , including an attractive leitmotif . Colorful and evocative cinematography by Mario Montuori . The motion picture was well directed by Barboni . Barboni was a good professional , a nice craftsman who directed various films of all kinds of genres . He began working as a prestigious cameraman who turned to filmmaking and creating the super hit ¨Tritiny is my name¨ , following ¨Trinity is still my name¨ and a third sequel : The troublemakers¨ , besides other Terence Hill , Bud Spencer vehicles .
