5.0 out of 5 stars
Great flick I didn't even know existed.,

This review is from: Blood Money (DVD)
Being a fan of both Lee Van Cleef and Red Sun I was quite surprised when I found out a movie such as this existed. I'm not sure why they decided to call it Blood Money though. There's no money and hardly any blood (but plenty of action). It's alternate title "The Stranger and the Gunfighter" would've been more adequate. Still, this movie is pretty darn good (and fun) if you like to mix things up a bit.
The DVD itself has no special features or subtitles. The language is in English though. Amazon states that it's in Italian. The cover includes a nice dust jacket as well. Great film at a great price!!!

One of my favourite Spaghetti Westerns.,

This review is from: Blood Money (DVD)
I first saw this when I was about 12 at a double feature in our local cinema. I hadn't seen anything like it. Mixing the Kung Fu and Western genres must have started with this movie. The story line is still one of the most original for a western. The director has a brilliant sense of humour as well, using not only one-liners and humorous scenarios, but camera and editing techniques that spice up the story telling.
My favourite character, outside of our heroes, is the religious zealot "Yangtze Hobbit" (sic). Dressed all in black with a long leather duster, gloves, and wide brimmed hat, Yangtze is just as quick to use a gun as quote passages from the bible. He has cool bad guy written all over him. I would rate this film in my top 5 Spaghetti Westerns, alongside all the Sergio Leone titles. It's primarily a comedy but it's all solid Italian/Spanish Western with all the dirt and grit that makes a Spaghetti Western what it is. I was thrilled when I discovered it had been released on DVD. For those, like myself, who already own a VHS copy you will notice one scene is missing. There is no "basement distillery" fight. The original scene appears poorly shot in the first place anyway so is no great loss. When you watch the DVD version, and I hope you purchase this gem, you'll see that the "distillery" fight is clearly tacked on. As the titles on the DVD are in Italian and are English on the VHS I take it the tacked on fight has something to do with the American and UK markets at the time. The price for this sharp quality widescreen DVD is also really affordable.

This movie suprised me. It was really good. Lee Van Cleef is great in this movie(as he is in everything he's done). The video and sound quality are pretty good, not great but better than average. A must see for any western fan.
