If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death
The gadget-gunslinger spaghetti west arrives fully dressed in black.
Gianni Garko glides through a four-way double-cross over a strongbox of stolen gold, dressed head to toe in black and carrying trick weapons a stage magician would envy. This is the film that launched the Sartana series, the gadget-gunslinger wing of the spaghetti west, where the hero is less a character than an unkillable card-sharp who always knows more than everyone in the room. Gianfranco Parolini directs it as a conjuring act, all misdirection and sudden reveals.
Nobody in it can be trusted and none of it needs to make sense.

Filed alongside
The Grand Duel
Lee Van Cleef, one three-way showdown, and the Bacalov theme you know from Kill Bill.
Cemetery Without Crosses
The French corner of the spaghetti cycle: gaunt, ritualistic, and dedicated to Leone.
Four of the Apocalypse
Fulci does a bleak, hallucinatory western. Four outcasts cross a hostile frontier. Most do not make it.
Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!
Nothing to do with Django, and one of the strangest and cruelest westerns Italy ever shot.
The Big Gundown
Sollima's best. A manhunt that keeps turning into a political argument.
Companeros
Zapata western with Franco Nero and a very good Morricone theme.
