It was perhaps inevitable that with the success of "A Fistful Of Dollars" a few years earlier, other Italian filmmakers would not only make their own spaghetti westerns, but some of them would copy the film that started the whole spaghetti western craze, this film being one of those attempts. I won't bother to list the similarities this film has to the earlier film, but I will list some of the differences. This movie looks like it had a somewhat higher budget, since there are more speaking roles and a wider range of locations. However, things are somewhat more cruder in this movie, from the violent sequences to the style of direction (though there are a few striking images here and there.) Also, there are a few dull spots. Still, spaghetti western fans will probably eat this up, even if they find a lot of the movie to be familiar. The movie apparently had a good number of fans at the time, since a sequel came out the following year, which I will watch and review should I ever come across it.
