      [first lines]

      Story Teller: [to children] There was a time, not long ago, where the great west, prior to century's turn, abounded in legend. Oh, there were stories of a fabled gunman, whose bullets always magically reached their mark. And mighty stallions, whose tireless gallop rode with the speed of the wind. And glorious women, whose beauty stunned both mind and heart. In some cases a man became immortal. Oh, it's not that lies were told about him, or impossible feats ascribed to him. But every detail about him was seized upon, and passed on with the most scrupulous and loving care. And in due time, he will become a legend.

    A decent one time watch for real spaghetti fans
    If you're a die hard spaghetti western fan you've definitely watched much worse than this, and there is plenty here that you will recognize from the genre. The director clearly is familiar with the genre beyond the Leones. The acting is decent, its shot well, and (some of) the music is great. Unfortunately the filmmaker wants to be Tarantino & this is the main area that brings the film down. If the stupid Tarantino rip off bits were cut from the film (bad animation segments, split screen/time rewind, stop frame name drops) and instead it just did things more straight forward, this would be a much, much better film. And the ending is totally botched. Still, its much more enjoyable than other reviews would let on, provided you enjoy the genre.
