Bandits rob 100.000 dollar from the bank of the texan town Daugherty. Behind the robbery stacks the rich farmer Stengel, who would like to use the money to buy up properties in Daugherty, which will win dramatically at value by the approaching railway. But the gangsters made their calculation without bountyhunter Sabata (Lee Van Cleef): He kills all bandits and brings back the corpses plus the robbed safe deposit, in order to take the 5,000 dollar premium. At the same time he extorts the heads of the robbery, who spare no effort to bury the annoying stranger forever.

The Gunslinger says:

Cool and rightfully estimated Spaghetti-Western, directed by Gianfranco Parolini (aka "Frank Kramer") in 1969, which gets along completely without the typical brutalities. Lee Van Cleef is as made for the role of the weapon fool and technofreak Sabata, only interested in money. William Berger does a good job as "Banjo", the strange ex-Sabata-buddie. Also worth mentioning is the soundtrack of Marcello Giombini, which presumes even into bachesque organ patterns .

Rating: $$$$

Bodycount: 63 Gringos, 8 Mexicans

Love:

Bar employee Jenny (Linda Veras) is somehow in love with "Banjo", but however is strongly interested in sufficiently cash in the purse. Nice scene: "Banjo" has a nightmare, in which he is married with Jenny and awakes crying. Thus 0/10.

Specials:

Sabata is technically experienced: He converts for example leather bags to deadly weapons or uses already the technology of the grammophon. The weapon arsenal Sabatas is various: a long-range special rifle and a small, but multi-barrelled pistol.

"Banjo" however rigged his instrument with a rifle.
