Well made, doesn't take itself too seriously


I saw this in theatrical release and recently watched a beautiful widescreen print. It's taken its lumps by reviewers but I felt it was a better quality, more enjoyable Euro western with style and flair than many of them; professionally, efficiently directed by Margaretti and expertly lensed by Ulloa in 2.35:1 Panavision. Van Cleef, Lo Lieh and Ugarte play it with a mix of straight and comedic and the actresses are total knockouts. Savina wrote a blended east/west score and the locations (including China) and props, including a horse-powered "church," have flair.
