Content:

Mexico struggles along: Revolution times, baby. Mexican general Ramirez (Roberto Carmadiel) is in search for some fresh money: His war chest is bloody empty, because of the enduring campaign and his hard drinking men. Furthermore the army of emperor Maximilian makes his life quite difficult. Under these circumstances he recalls his old mate Halleluja (Jorge Hill), one of the biggest crooks in the West. Ramirez begs Halleluja to help him, snatching a legendary treasure of jewels from the Austrians. The coup succeeds, but the stolen rocks are only cheap copies. Moreover some other treasure hunters enter the scene: A bunch of rogues, a nun (Agata Flori) and a scion of the russian tsar (Charles Southwood) want to enrich themselves.


The Casketnail says:

After producing some successful Sartana-films with Gianni Garko, Carnimeo invented the character of Hallaluja, enforcing his humorous orientation: Halleluja has a similar look like Sartana, but is a bigger crook with a bigger mouth. Garko was replaced by Uruguayan Jorge Hill, likewise Carnimeo-proved, to whom Halleluja brought the definite breakthrough in the Spaghetti-genre. The film is skillfully made; fine camerawork by Stelvio Massi with a great mix of close-ups and totals (don’t know the english word ;-)). Many action and great gunplay: consistent and to the point. Corpses pave the way of Halleluja too, thanx to a sewing machine, retrofitted to a gatling-gun. The sequel “Return of Halleluja“ has a much lower bodycount, but contains a higher dose of humour.


Rating: $$$$

Bodycount:

I stopped counting after roundabout 50 dead men in the opening sequence


Explicit Brutalities:

- Halleluja puts same purge into the soup of the bandidos. Ay, Carrrrramba!
- The baddies torture sister Anna by using scorpion Willy to talk about the hideout of the real jewels
- For the same reason Alexej gets a Swedish drink: "only 50 liters of water. Cheers!

Luv':

Money rules the world: 0/10

Gore:

0/10

Specials:

  • Among other tools Halleluja uses an armed sewing machine, teargas, purge and mini-payloads
  • Sister Anna owns a pocket machine to send Morse code
  • Alexej trusts on hs armed balalaika and a stock of miniature daggers
