Saw this listed and then looked up the film in the good the bad and the voilent(a must have for spaghetti western fans)and it sounded intresting. Corny it is but well filmed and the action is plentyfull you will laugh at the hereo's name you will gasp at the corny lines but all in all as these films go better than average a very clear print and overpriced to hell.I enjoyed this rare oater and you would be hard to please if you arn't Al Watts Radio presenter Australia
