D: Pasquale Squitieri ("William Redford"); S: P.S., Monica Felt; C: Angelo
Lotti; M: Piero Umiliani; with: Leonard Mann, Ivan Djrassimovic ("Rassimov"), Elisabeth Eversfield, Steffen Zacharias, Enzo
Fiermonte, Klaus Kinski
Indians kill the Bridger family. Only
little Jeremie survives. Ten years later: Jerry (Leonard Mann) has grown up to a jaundiced man, who chases Indians for their
scalps. But gradually he finds out the truth: The "Indian raids" are organized by evil Boone (Enzo Fiermonte), "Lieutenant"
of rich farmer Perkins (Ivan Djrassimovic). The latter wants to frighten the small farmers, to get their land for nuts. For
camouflage a few dead Indians - killed by Boone - are always left at the scenes. The corrupt Virgil Prescott (Klaus Kinski),
publisher of the local newspaper, supports these plans with appropriate articles about the martial Indians. But together with
the strange "Doc" (Steffen Zacharias) Jerry gives the gangsters what they want.
The Gunslinger says:
Quite boring this flint of Pasquale
Squitieri ("William Redford") out of 1971, but it supplies nevertheless a passable camera guidance (Angelo Lotti). American
actor Leonard Mann is unfortunately overtaxed with the main role and confounded "wooden" with "coo"l. But with Italo-Croatian
Ivan Djrassimovic ("Ivan Rassimov"), also known as "Sean Todd", as well as veterans like Enzo Fiermonte nevertheless the rogue
side is well occupied. Much bizarr and completely redundantly is the part of Kinski, who wears grey hair this time and gives
the intellectual.
Rating:
$$
Bodycount: 20 Gringos,
16 Indianer 2 women, 1 child
Explicit brutalities:
The citizens of Tucson don't like Indians,
so Indian girl Tune (Elisabeth Eversfield) is tarred and feathered for amusement
Tune smells the whip, because she doesn't
want to be nice to Mr. Prescott
Luv:
Tune falls in love with Jerry, despite he has taken the hair of her whole family. Quite strange.
