Lee van cleef's back with a bang!

Warning: Spoilers
This is the final Sabata film and it certainly ends the series well. While none of the Sabata films have any connection with each other,to me the film feels like the end of a great motion picture epic- and it is! The plot goes like this; A gunfighter arrives at a tax oppressed town. The gunfighter, Sabata, soon finds out that the town is being run by an Irish baron named McIntock. Sabata hires a bunch of crazed delinquents and sets out to take down the foreigner.

The film has probably the most crazy movie openings I have ever seen. I won't spoil it, but by the time the main title screen shows up, your staring at the screen wondering "What on earth was the point in that". And that's what I like about the Sabata trilogy. There are good battles and story lines, but sometimes they throw random scenes in for no apparent reason. The makings of a classic! The storyline is rather interesting, but sometimes it drags it's heels a bit too much. The characters are, Like in the other films, very diverse and have colourful personalities. Sabata wants justice in the town but also wants a share of the gold. His classic 4 barrelled gun appears again which i was really pleased about. There is also a fat guy called bronco who declares everything interesting that comes up to the town by beating his huge drum and making speeches. He joins Sabata in the fight just for the gold. There are also two men called feonda and angel who don;t really have much dialogue or character but they both have different ways of killing people. Feonda makes a slingshot by lying down, stretching the slingshot between his legs and firing, mostly at people on top of buildings or at a faraway distance. Angel however is a bit more acrobatic, Jumping on people and bouncing about, making it harder for his enemies to fire at him. Finally we have Clide. Clide appears to know Sabata well, however he never seems to be friend or his enemy. He is the most two faced character I have ever seen in a film. (SPOILER)Near the end of the film, he switches sides between Sabata and McIntock several times. (SPOILER Finnished)He is loyal to no-one. All in all the Chacters are extremely well made and are a lot better than a lot of characters in modern movies nowadays.

The action is superb but you have to wait for it. The film is packed full of edge of your seat action. I'm talking mines blowing up, massive shoot outs at McIntock's house, saloon fights and just some good old fashioned Explotions. In other words, If you can wait through some of the movie's uninteresting dialogue, you will be very impressed with the action scenes. Eye popping entertainment.

By and large, Not as good as the previous Sabata films, but it's certainly worth a watch. A Great end to a fantastic series that I hope keeps audiences attentions for years to come. If you want an all out action fest and want a good laugh at the same time, make sure you watch this instant classic before it disappears!!!!
