After five years in jail, Bill Kiowa is released and he hires four skilled men for his gang: the tough O'Bannion; the sheriff Jeff Milton; the gunman Bunny Fox; and the gambler Francis 'Colt' Moran, using the money his father gave to him. Bill seeks revenge against the sadistic leader of the Comancheros James Elfego, who killed his Indian wife Mirana Kiowa and framed Bill that was sent to prison. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Yes, it is true, giallo master Dario Argento helped write this speghetti western from the late 60s. I have never been a big fan of western movies, but my love of Italian horror cinema has taken me into this genre. They just don't make
westerns, or any genre for that matter, like this anymore.
This film has all the great makings of what a good western movie should be.
You have the duels, the horse chases, and the classic saloon card game. The
fact that this is a low budget film is what attracts me. The sometimes badly
dubbed in english also humors me. But put those things a side and you have a
pretty good story. The way the final "duel" comes together is classic.
Overall, this is may not be "the one" when it comes to speghetti westerns, I am by no means a connoseur of Italian western film. But I walked away pleased.
Now I have to go and watch a few more Italian cowboy flicks to compare.
