A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe (1975)

Terence Hill stars as 'Nobody' - the fastest gun in the West, in a film which takes a more satirical view of how things really happened than the history books would suggest. Superb supporting roles by Klaus Kinski as 'Doc Foster' and Patrick McGoohan as

Painful

I bought this DVD with the understanding that it was a sequel of sorts to "My Name is Nobody," which is one of my all-time favorite films. Sadly, this movie is no sequel, except for the fact that in both movies Terence Hill plays a larger-than-life character from the Old West with outlandish gun-handling skills. The humor that worked so well in "Nobody" is sorely lacking here -- the film is so bad that one cannot even find it funny as a satire on the spaghetti Western genre. The supporting cast is dreadful, the film quality is horrible, the plot is miserable, and the dialogue is laughable (when is the last time, for example, you heard a gunman call his opponent a "booby" during a gunfight?). The only merit to the film is that Terence Hill is fun to watch -- yet even he seems to trudging through this film -- Hill's half-hearted charm is the only thing that rescued this dud from a single star.

Seen it

I liked this as much as My Name is Nobody even though its way less arty. Especially funny was the part near the beginning when Hill gets to town and is dumped out of the coach into the dust with his saddle, but he just lays there in the street with the carts and horses going by until he finishes his nap.
