After a stagecoach is robbed and the passengers murdered, a long and tangled series of surprise attacks and murderous double-crosses, leaves the coach's strongbox in the hands of the killer Lasky. It is up to the legendary hero Sartana to track down the missing money and determine just who is ultimately behind the grisly robberies and killings.
From the start of the movie you in for a ride. Sartana played by John Garko is one the best dressed gunslingers I have seen, and the introduction where he guns down six gunslingers is a fantastic way to introduce him as fast and badass gunslinger. “I am your pallbearer” It’s a rather complex plot with several bandits turning on each other, while hunting Sartana for the money from a stagecoach robbery. The highpoints are a duel between Sartana and Morgan, played by the always intense Klaus Kinski. Lansky, Morgans partner a cruel double crossing bastard who several times double crosses his allies and guns them down with a gatling gun. The final showdown is a masterclass in how to edited a suspenseful duel. Its gritty, dark and violent, and really awesome spaghetti western with great actors, soundtrack and cinematography. “Who are you?” “A first-class pallbearer!” Part of Junesploitation - Day 15 – Free space
