D: Sergio Bergonzelli; S: Paolo Lombardo, Aldo Greci (as C); M: Bruno Nicolai; with: William
Berger, George Wang, Antonella Murgia
Five years ago El Cisco (William Berger) was made innocently responsible for a bank assault
in Dallas. Since then the chased one is on the search for the true authors. The traces lead to Calabasa, New Mexico, where
Cisco is hired by the rich Rancher Lowell. The small town is terrorized by a Mexican gang, led by evil Tuscerora (George Wang),
which makes common cause with Calabasa's Deputy. Cisco leads a double life: In order to get some informations and and to carry
out his revenge plan, he joins secretly the Mexicans, in order to attack the bank with them. But those made the calculation
without El Cisco. At the end the true gangsters must pay with a piece of lead between their eyes.
The Gunslingers says:
Confusing but lead containing Italo Western made by Sergio Bergonzelli in 1966, which is perhaps interesting
for Will-Berger-fans. Nice however are the dynamite cigars, with which Cisco offers a real astonishing smoking pleasure.
Rating: $$
Bodycount: 29 Gringos, 32 Mexicans
Explicit brutalities:
- Cisco burns maliciously the face of a man of deputy Burke with the help of a cigar.
- Cisco gets a rough special treatment by the deputy's men.
- The Mexicans attack Lowell's Ranch and kill everyone, who moves.
- The deadly hurt Lowell is still heavily beaten up in order to come to his money hiding place. But he dies, before
he can tell.
- Lowell's daughter is raped by the Mexicans.
- Deputy Burke "questions" Cisco's girlfriend Maria with the help of glowing tools.
Love:
The Mexican Maria loves Cisco obviously more than he loves her. At the end she may even accompany him, but the
thing has probably no future. 2/10.
Specials:
Cisco loves explosive cigars. Besides he has the habit to shoot his opponents a clean hole into the forehead, which
he affectionately designates as a"kiss on the forehead".
Splatter: 2/10.
