Just found this over on bluray.com...FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE / DUCK, YOU SUCKER!... Its meant to look gorgeous too, has English audio and comes in a neat white cardboard case!!

The only downside is it seems to be out of stock on amazon.it ! It says delivered in 1 to 2 months ugh!

Good suggestion. Cheapest on ebay is 23 euros all in... Could be worse. Going to have to ponder whether to expend or not

Ooh la la! I need to get that - thank you djvaso.

I've been going on a bit of a Spaghetti Western binge lately and only just watched Django the other night. I can't say I've seen these Nero films (I'm only getting into the genre), but think I'll pick this one up now.

As said in the last post, I have been going a bit mad for Spaghetti Westerns lately. Nothing like sticking on a Western with a bowl of pasta, wearing boots and a pistol in your hand.

Recently watched,

No Room To Die
(AKA A Hanging For Django)

Being relatively new to the genre, this one is probably the weakest I have seen so far. It had a lot of great moments though and Anthony Steffen is excellent in the lead, giving ol' Clint a run for his money. The film is probably stolen by William Berger's twisted 'priest' though with his six-barrelled shotgun. A great final standoff but a little tricky to follow (I was feeling ill so it may have been just that!). The film had some really exciting shots in that really get the blood pumping. It kind of reminded me of Sabata a little bit, although it's nowhere near as crazy. It was also directed by SS Experiment Camp's Sergio Garrone too!

3/5

And I have just finished watching

A Lone And Angry Man
(AKA A Coffin For The Sheriff)

Now we're talking! Although not quite as visually stunning as the last film, ALAAM is a very, very solid Spaghetti Western. A story of revenge in which a stranger (the scene-stealing Anthony Steffen) joins a group of bandits who killed his wife, hoping to find the murderer in the gang and kill them. There's so many great scenes here. I love the test the bandits put our hero through - he must outsmart an opponent with 12 bullets with just 2 (which he uses perfectly!). The ending is fab too (lots of jumping out of windows) and the odd bit of comedy in here really works in the form of the crazy old fool.

Plus, it has such a cool soundtrack - a little like Django's theme tune. Excellent stuff

4/5

Has anyone here watched In A Colt's Shadow? I just finished watching this Spaghetti Western and, well it's pretty run of the mill. It's an early Italian western that tried to emulate to US Westerns a little too much.

Still it's a good movie with a very cool score too! I loved the title sequence too.
