Content:

In the small mexican village Cerro Gordo death has a rich harvest. As the gang of brutal Aguila (Frank Wolff) has executed a bunch of mexican soldiers, a silent stranger (Tony Anthony) enters the scene. Together with Aguila he wants to rob a transport of gold intended to the mexican government. The coup succeeds, but Aguila doesn't wanna part the booty and gives the stranger a kick in the ass. Not the best idea, because from now on the Gringo follows the Mexicans like a blowfly. And the hardboiled stranger isn't only interested in the gold: He also wants to take the bounty of 60.000 pesos for the Aguila gang. Together with his shotgun he starts to make some money.


The Gunslinger says:

Quite tough and good spaghettiwestern, heavily influenced by Leones "A Fistful of Dollars", made by Luigi Vanzi in 1966. Words don't come easy, but bullets do, if you know what I mean, folx. Even a "love scene" ends up with a broken neck. US-actor Tony Anthony gives a rather poor performance, but Frank Wolff as sadistic and lunatic Aguila compensates this moreover. Good and skimpy score by Benedetto Ghiglia, dominated by guitars and flutes.
Anthony and Vanzi collaborated again for the sequels "The Stranger returns" and "The silent Stranger".
