Ultra cool spaghetti western from Sergio Corbucci

Right from the opening of the film , I knew it was going to be something great. From the shot of the church to Ennio Morricone's brilliant score. There are great performances, great laughs, and obviously some cool hand held action in this film. It's a fun ride man ! Franco Nero and Tomas Milian are a great team and Jack Palance as the post smokin' bad guy is just perfect. This is one of Corbucci's last great westerns and certainly one you wouln't want to miss.
