Bandits rob 100.000 dollar from the bank of the texan town Daugherty. Behind the robbery stacks the rich farmer Stengel (Franco Ressel), who would like to use the money to buy up properties in Daugherty, which value will grow dramatically by the approaching railway. But the gangsters reckon without Sabata´s (Lee Van Cleef) host. With the help from the prowler Garrincha (Ignazio Spalla) and the mysterious Banjo (William Berger) the tricky bountyhunter kills all bandits and brings back the corpses plus the robbed safe deposit, in order to take the 5,000 dollar salary. At the same time he extorts the heads of the robbery, who spare no effort to bury the annoying stranger forever.

The Gunslinger says:

Cool and rightfully estimated Spaghetti-Western, directed by Gianfranco Parolini (aka "Frank Kramer") in 1969, which gets along completely without the typical brutalities. Lee Van Cleef is as made for the role of the weapon fool and technofreak Sabata, only interested in money. William Berger does a good job as "Banjo", the strange ex-Sabata-buddie. Also worth mentioning is the soundtrack of Marcello Giombini, which presumes even into bachesque organ patterns .
Parolini made two sequels: the official "Return of Sabata" with van Cleef and the only in international versions called "Adios Sabata", which has nothing to do with the original: original title: "Indio Black", in which Yul Brynner takes over as a technically skilled gunslinger, dressed in black.

Rating: $$$$

Bodycount:

63 Gringos, 8 Mexicans

Luv´:

Bar employee Jenny (Linda Veras) is somehow in love with "Banjo", but however is strongly interested in sufficiently cash in the purse. Nice scene: "Banjo" has a nightmare, in which he is married with Jenny and awakes crying. Thus 0/10.

Specials:

  • Sabata is technically experienced: He converts for example leather bags to deadly weapons or uses already the technology of the grammophon. The weapon arsenal Sabatas is various: a long-range special rifle and a small, but multi-barrelled pistol.
  • "Banjo" however rigged his instrument with a rifle.

Sabata - Film Maniax
Franco Ressel gets froggy eyes when he sees van Cleef´s
cigarillo lighters.

Sabata - Film Maniax
That´s why they call him "Banjo" (William Berger)

Sabata - Film Maniax
Can anyone tell him, what a "knife" is? (Ignazio Spalla) Perhaps Aldo Canti?

Franco Ressel and his guys aren´t high calibers, but they
use big ones
