This Chorizo/Pasta Western is a Spanish/Italian co-production that packs a great deal of zooms , crossfire , thrills , action , go riding , brawls , lots of shots and gun-play . There is plenty of action in the movie , guaranteeing shoot'em up or stunts every few minutes and filmed in spectacular scenarios from Seseña , Manzanares del Real , Madrid , Spain . This is the tale of twins ; one a good sheriff , Bill Nolan (Craig Hill) , the other a nasty bandit and rapist , Mace Cassidy (Craig Hill) . Earlier some outlaws dressed up as saloon girls pull off a stagecoach assault , they murder a witness , and take possession of all the cash , while Mace Cassidy rapes a beautiful girl (Agata Lys) . Four years after in a little town called Okland takes place the annual Halloween celebration, there a traveling salesman (Francisco Sanz) and his daughter (Agata Lys) finger the Marshal as the boss of a band that long time ago attacked a stagecoach, raped his daughter, and killed a passenger . Along the way the upright and innocent sheriff has to resolve a bank robbery , multiple murders , and face off a mysterious masked murderer as well as prove his innoccence , discovering the true guilty of the various grisly killings .
This is a Paella/Spaghetti western with thrills, action, fights , a lot of murders and shootouts . Badly directed by Mario Bianchi, he is a sort of Italian Ed Wood, similarly to Demofilo Fidani or Miles Deem . It is a moving blending of Pepperone Western and suspense elements , along with murders in Giallo style . Italian/Spanish production filmed in Madrid surroundings , full of familiar faces , assaults , exaggerated characters , gun-down , red herrings , lots of shots and fights . The film packs action , shootouts , drama , treason , high body-count ; however , being slow-moving but slightly entertaining and approaching increasingly the Giallo style , and keeping some details that make it special in this particular Spaghetti sub-genre . Starring Craig Hill in a double role as an extremely baddie bandit , and , as a happily married lawman who attempts to find out a heist and strange killings . Craig is passable , he ravages the screen , he jumps , and bounds , hits and runs ; besides , delivering punches , slaps and kick-ass . Worthwhile watching for a demonstration of the confrontation between Craig Hill and his ominous enemies , the greedy masked man , a ruthless brother who is the evil twin and the real culprit , and his heinous hired hands , including some looks that say it all , adding a twisted ending . So-so performances for the whole casting .The notorious Spaghetti/Paella actor , the American Craig Hill is so-so in his usual tough role , here playing a ruthless outlaw , and a two-fisted , relentless sheriff . But his character as a villain cutthroat is exaggerately performed , as he plays as a cruel avenger , a violent rapist who seeks a bloody vendetta against his brother , an ordinary plot in Spaghetti/Paella Western . It stars this tarnished actor ,Craig Hill who played a lot of Spaghetti , his first Western was ¨Hands of a Gunfighter" or ¨Ocaso de un Pistolero¨ , he went on playing : "Seven Pistols for a Massacre" , "Rick and John¨ , ¨Conquerors of the West¨ , ¨Bounty hunter¨ , "I Want Him Dead" , "Fifteen Scaffolds for the Killer" , "Three Crosses of Death" , ¨Bury Them Deep¨ , and this "I want him dead¨ .Furthermore, here appears usual Italian/Spanish Western support actors , a largely secondary cast filled with familiar faces , all of them ordinary in Chorizo western . As Craig Hill is supported by a secondary cast who is frankly decent , thanks to the appearance of important secondaries from Spaghetti/Tortilla or Paella Western , these are the following ones : Frank Braña , Francisco Sanz ,Jesús Tordesillas , Maria Vico and brief appearance of Agata Lys , though she is credited top-billed . It contains an intriguing as well as catching musical score by Piero Piccioni , Spaghetti's ordinary ,though some prints appears as composer Gianni Ferrio . And an evocative and adequate cinematography by Emilio Foriscot , shot in Seseña , Colmenar Viejo , Manzanares Del Real , Madrid and Roman studios .
