Reviews:
“The film packs action , drama , violence , shootouts , a high body-count at the end by using the relentless machine gun , and it results to be entertaining enough . It’s a middle-budget film with functional actors , technicians, production values and pleasing results . There is action enough in the movie , guaranteeing some shoot’em up or stunts every few minutes . It’s an exciting western with screenplay from Jaime Jesús Balcázar and Lorenzo Gicca Palli , including breathtaking final showdown between the starring Jorge Martin and his enemies. This theme about a Western machine gun has been already treated on other films as Machine Gun killers 1968 by Paolo Bianchini, Something Big 1971 by Andrew McLagen, The Gatlin Gun 1973 by Robert Gordon .The film is well starred by a great Spaghetti star as the Spanish George Martin who worked much for Alfonso Balcazar’s factory such as ¨Clint the strange¨, ¨The return the Clint¨, ¨Oeste Nevada Joe¨, Thompson 1880¨ , ¨Taste of killing¨, ¨A pistol for Ringo and ¨The return of Ringo¨ . Furthermore , here appears ordinary secondary of Spaghetti/Paella Western as José Bodalo of Django performing a drunk judge , Cameron Mitchell who played a lot of Peplum and Spaghetti plays a cripple gunslinger , Giovanni Ivan Scratuglia , Pasquale Basile , Dino Strano and Pedro Sanchez or Ignacio Spalla who often used to play similar roles to Fernando Sancho as a cruelly baddie role of Mexican bandit , subsequently he would play similar roles in other Spaghettis . The picture well photographed by Victor Monreal , though is necessary a fine remastering because the film-copy is washed-out . Mostly filmed on location in Lazio , Rome and a village located in ¨Splugues De Llobregat¨ Barcelona , it resulted to be the location where were shot lots of Westerns produced and directed by Catalan people as Alfonso Balcazar , J.J. Balcazar , Jose Antonio De La Loma , Juan Bosch, Ignacio F. Iquino and Julio Buchs , among others , because Almeria was too far and the landscapes bear remarkable resemblance . There are many professional technicians and appropriate assistant direction and nice production design by the usual Juan Albert Soler , he creates a good scenario . As well as enjoyable and atmospheric musical score by Marcelo Gigante .”
