Major Cabot (Patrick McGoohan), Commander
of Fort Cristobal, is a real swine, but high efficient: He blames the crimes
he commits on the Indians to start bloody retaliation campaigns for getting their land and selling it to the highest bidder.
Trinity ("Terence Hill"), his friend Bill (Robert Charlesbois), called "Locomotive", and blonde Lucy (Miou-Miou) start up
to stop Cabot’s game and to give land and money back to the Indians.
I 1975
The
Gunslinger says:
This
film seems to be a sequel of „Nobody“, if you regard the clothes and the character of the figur, played again
by “Terence Hill”. But this one has to eat the shorts of it’s predecessor, concerning wit and originality.
Well, there are some nice ideas like the race with money bag between Trinity
and Bill. But overall the film takes itself too serious, the more as it tries to mediate sociocritical messages. Kinski has
to survive a bottom of his career in his redundant role as blackdressed gunslinger „Doc“ Foster, and once again
we can see Harmstorf as cigar smoking, super brutal drillmaster. Great performance by Sixties-Icon Patrick McGoohan ("The
Prisoner") as sluggish and narrow-minded Major Cabot.
