fuck yes! I'm a sucker for weird and surreal spaghetti-westerns, so matalo! is definitely in my top 15. blood money is very good too (volonte's crazy little brother is the bad guy and it ends with a classic shootout in a rad looking ghost town), the sequel vengeance is mine is not that good though, too much out of place romantic flashbacks IIRCOriginally posted by Ian Jane View PostComing in July from Arrow.

TCM is showing Paolo Cavara's Deaf Smith and Johnny Ears staring Anthony Quinn and Franco Nero this month.
Anyone seen it and have comments?
Usually a TCM broadcast indicates a release is on the horizon.Comment

I'm a huge Canevari fan myself so MATALO! hitting BD is cause for much celebration for me. I wonder if we'll ever get an English-friendly release for his EMMANUELLE film or UNA JENA IN CASSAFORTE or DELITTO CARNALE, for that matter!Originally posted by killer must kill again View Post

Maniacal outlaws thirsting for blood! Corrupt capitalists profiting from the suffering of the common folk! Desperate people pushed to violent revenge! The Italian western has never been grittier than in this quartet of later-period cult classics, in which the trademark cynicism of the genre escalates into the radical pessimism of the late 1960s / early 1970s world.
In Paolo Bianchini's I Want Him Dead (1968), American actor Craig Hill (The Bloodstained Shadow) stars as an ex-Confederate soldier who vows revenge after his sister is raped and murdered, in so doing setting him on a collision course with a dastardly plot to disrupt peace talks between the North and South. Next, in Edoardo Mulargia's El Puro (1969; a.k.a. The Reward's Yours... The Man's Mine), western icon Robert Woods (My Name is Pecos) gives arguably his greatest performance as a legendary gunfighter forced to emerge from hiding after the bounty hunters on his tail murder the tender-hearted barmaid (Rosalba Neri, Smile Before Death) who offered him a new life.
Then, in Mario Camus' Wrath of the Wind (1970), genre superstar Terence Hill (They Call Me Trinity) shows his darker side as an assassin who finds his conscience when he and his brother (Mario Pardo, Knife of Ice) are hired by a ruthless landholder (Fernando Rey, The French Connection) to kill the leaders of a growing labor movement. Finally, Fabio Testi (What Have You Done to Solange?) and Tomas Milian (Don't Torture a Duckling) star in Lucio Fulci's Four of the Apocalypse (1975), in which a quartet of misfits go from sharing the same jail cell to embarking on a savage odyssey that will lead to torture, rape and cannibalism. Preyed upon by a ruthless bandit, the foursome fight for their lives - until the time comes for revenge.
Four of the Italian western's hardest, cruelest, bloodiest classics erupt from the screen in this feature-packed box set from Arrow Films. Featuring dazzling High Definition restorations and a wealth of brand new bonus materials produced specially for this release, Savage Guns delivers - from both barrels!

Arrow attempting to redefine the meaning of the word classic there. I already have the Fulci, I can wait for a standard release (and then when on sale) for the others.I'm bitter, I'm twisted, James Joyce is fucking my sister.Comment
-
Is the verdict not good on the other three films on this set then?
Aside from '..Apocalypse' (which surely could have been worthy of a stand alone SE release, dontha think?), I'm not familiar with any of them.Comment

It's debatable whether Wrath of the Wind is even a spaghetti western, but the others are pretty dark. I just find these Arrow spaghetti Western sets a bit random and they hang on one title that they know people will want. I have the same problem with some of VS's box sets. Of course, some may like the discovery element, but I'm more cynical about their motives.I'm bitter, I'm twisted, James Joyce is fucking my sister.Comment

I don't think you can be too cynical about Arrow's motives. They clearly are boxing up lesser know/desirable titles with one they know people want.Comment

They got bamboozled into buying a package they didn’t really want, so they pass the bamboozle on to the customer!Originally posted by Derrick King View PostComment
