    Ulzana is well played by Gojko Mitic who was often called the most famous Indian in Eastern Europe
    Here stars the famous chieftain Apache named Ulzana seeking vengence and battling a vicious scalphunter called Johnson and his henchmen in the region of Picos Altos, Mexico , where dangerous people are looking for copper . As an Apache tribe of the Mimbrero led by Ulzana is peacefully settled when they go to Santa Rita village to buy and sell products .Then a group of American/Mexican cutthroats attack and kill the peaceful Indians carrying out an extremely violent slaughter. But Ulzana escapes and he seeks revenge against his enemy.

    Indian Eurowestern is loosely based on the legendary Apache warrior . A violent , gritty Western that enjoyed success in the Eastern countries. It shows the life of an Indian tribe , the sufferings , feats , attacks and a bloody massacre, including creepy scalphunting .The picture has thrills , emotion, action-packed , assaults and violence . Exciting though it is , the film isn't without its thoughful side , it has drama and action in equal measure . It is is well starred by Gojko Mitic one of the most known and most loved players in Eastern countries. He was born on June 13, 1940 in a village of the previous Yugoslavia , now Serbia. His first roles were as an Indian secondary in the known Winnetou/Old Shatterhand films as Winnetou or Treasure of the silver lake, Winnetou 2 Last of the renegades, The Vultures, Winnetou: The last shot . His first main role was as Tokei in the movie from the East German : Sons of the Great Bear. This was the beginning of a long career playing Indian chieftians such as Severino , Last Mohican's Chingachcook , Blutsbruder , White Feather , Tahmahkera , Ulzana and even the famous Winnetou in TV. They were all successful but he was always dubbed because of his accent . Mitic became a charming man among the women because of his attractive and glamour , and even playing the heroic slave rebel called Spartacus . His movies became popular in Germany , Yugoslavia and even the USA.

    It has an atmospheric as well as thrilling musical score , and the catching score remembrance Spaghetti Western soundtrack . And an evocative cinematography , but a remastering being really necessary because of film copy is washed-out . Shot in Samarkand , Uzbekistan , Romania and the wonderful Yugoslavian lanscapes .Ulzana feat was also adapted by Robert Aldrich in 1952 as Ulzana's Raid with Burt Lancaster , Bruce Davison , Jorge Luke and Joaquin Martinez as Ulzana . This motion picture titled Apachen 1973 had a sequel titled Ulzana 1974 , being regularly directed by Gottfried Kolditz , cowritten by Gojko Mitic and financed by Deutsche Production or Defa. I would like to recommend it to those who appeal Pasta/Paella Westerns usually filmed in Spain.
