Anything for a Friend (1973)

Not really good but funny movie

[6/10 · 28 July 2004]

This is one of this bad and low budget made but very funny western from Demofilo Fidani but this time it is a real comedy.

This comedy is not so funny than his "hard" western but it has it's moments and Ettore Manni and "Bud Randall"(whoever he is) are a good "buddy" team. You can also see a lot of actors who you can also see in the most of the other Fidanis like his daughter Simonetta Vitelli (in her last movie), Frederico Boido, Benito Pacifico, Luciano Conti and the greatest of all: Gordon Mitchell.

You have to like trash to like this movie but it's a good little movie for rainy afternoons.

God Is My Colt .45 (1972)

Not really great

[5/10 · 9 July 2004]

This was the third and the last western from Batzella and it isn't better than the other.

Two good actors, Cameron and O'Brien, a simple story and a bad directing makes a not really bad but boring movie. The soundtrack from Kojucharov is OK. He also composed music to a few other Spaghetti Western. This movie is also a combination of the two others so you can see a lot of scenes which you have also seen in the other both.

All in all there is nothing more to say about this movie. You don't have to the three Batzella movies. Better to watch the western from Demofilo Fidani, they are also bad but very funny.

Don't Wait, Django... Shoot! (1967)

Very good Spaghetti Western

[10/10 · 9 July 2004]

This Spaghetti Western from Mulargia is a very nice B-Movie with good actors, music and atmosphere.

The most time of the movie is placed in a little town and that is very good for the atmosphere of the movie. Ivan Rassimov is very good in the part of Django and also Petro Sanchez is a very good partner for him. Rassimov's sister plays his real sister Rada. You can also see the writer and director Vincenzo Musolino in the part of Hondo. The great score is composed by Felice Di Stefano who also composed a few other scores for Mulargia and Musolino.

All in all this Western is a great B-Movie and a must see for Spaghetti fans.

Passa Sartana... è l'ombra della tua morte (1969)

Bad but very funny movie

[10/10 · 8 July 2004]

This Fidani Sartana movie is a cheap but also a very funny movie.

As all the other Fidani movies it's only a real fun for fans.

It has nothing do to with the other Sartana movies with Gianni Garko as protagonist, here the stuntman Jeff Cameron plays Sartana. You can also see a few other stuntman who have played in the most of Fidanis western like Benito Pacifico, Dino Strano, Luciano Conti his daughter Simonetta and you can also see the master himself with incredible big glasses. The soundtrack from Lallo Gori is also really great.

The movie is very enjoyable, a must see for Trashfans.

The Moment to Kill (1968)

Perfect Spaghetti Western with a great cast

[10/10 · 31 May 2003]

The second Western from Giuliano Carnimeo is a perfect production with a great cast. George Hilton and Walter Barnes are a perfect team and on the other side the great german actor Horst Frank. As Regina Loni von Friedl is also very good and insidious. Responsible for the good looking of the movie is Stelvio Massi with his camerawork. The movie has also a ironic sense of humor which is very good for it. Francesco de Masi did a great job with the wunderfull music. Giuliano Carnimeo and George Hilton made also a few other good movies together f.ex. the Giallo "Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer?" or the western- comedy " Il West ti va stretto, amico ... è arrivato Alleluja". Carnimeo is also responsible for three of the Sartana- movies with Gianni Garko.

Anche per Django le carogne hanno un prezzo (1971)

Luigi Batzella's best western, but...

[6/10 · 28 January 2003]

This is the first of three Spaghetti Western from the former actor Luigi Batzella. The other two movies are "Quelle sporche anime dannate" and "La colt era il suo dio", also with Jeff Cameron. "Anche per." is a very boring movie with bad actors and a cruel camerawork. It's almost impossible to believe that this is Batzellas best western. He took parts of this movie for the two others. The former stuntman Jeff Cameron often played in the movies of Demofilo Fidani. His best part was in the western of Tonino Cervi "Oggi a me. domani a te!" as a bandit.

Anche per Django le carogne hanno un prezzo (1971)

A typical Luigi Batzella movie

[6/10 · 2 August 2002]

A very bad Spaghetti Western from Luigi Batzella. The story is boring and the production is terrible. The actors, even Jeff Cameron, are harrowing. The clothes and the dialogues of the characters are cheap and bad and also the buildings are very cheap.

Make the Sign of the Cross, Stranger! (1968)

Bad Miles Deem movie!

[10/10 · 18 May 2002]

The only thing I have to say is: Miles Deem. Almost all his movies are very bad also this one. The movie has bad actors, with exception from Southwood and Cameron, a bad story and a bad directing. The only good job made Marcello Gigante with his music.
