Again Hill as Cat Stevens and Spencer as Hutch Bessy team up against a baddie named Bill well played by Frank Wolff . Exciting western deals with a gunfighter robber hijacks a payroll train , kills everyone aboard and then stashes his loot . This violent Spaghetti Western oater goes on when Cat Stevens (Terence Hill or Mario Girotti) trying to save himself from a pursuit by nasties . Then meets Hutch (Bud Spencer or Carlo Pedersoli) who proposes him to discover the train robbing , allegedly committed by Bill St Antonio , and the two guys mess with Western baddies . Bill has been killed and holds on his tombstone an inscription captioning : ¨Here lies Bill St Antonio , greatest shot in the world killed by a traitor , otherwise no¨ and he receives a spectacular funeral in New Orleans style . Stevens reunites with Hutch joining forces, confronting baddies. Nevertheless , the heinous villain is alive and seeks revenge , he is a ruthless outlaw and supported by heinous henchmen .

The movie contains gunplay, action Western, bloody spectacle and fist-fights . Terence Hill as a tough gunslinger and Spencer as a bouncing hunk are good but still not personified the Trinity hero characters . At the picture appears usual Spaghetti secondaries who played ordinary characters as villains in numerous Spanish/Italian Western as Jose Luis Martin , Frank Braña , Jose Canalejas , Tito Garcia , Francisco Sanz and Luis Barboo , among others . The film belongs the Giuseppe Colizzi trilogy starred by Hill and Spencer as Cat Stevens and Hutch Bessy . This one is the first , superior and the best outing ; the second installment is ¨Four gunmen of Ave Maria or Ace high ¨ with the great Elli Wallach and more camp tendencies ; and the third is ¨Boot Hill¨ with Woody Strode and less of a budget . The film is produced by DÁmbrossio and accompanied by a musical score by Carlo Rustichelli with an enjoyable leitmotif . The movie is finely photographed by Alfio Contini, and of course is shot in Almeria , Spain, location where were filmed hundreds Western in the 60s and 70s . This motion picture also titled ¨God forgives¨ will appeal to Hill and Spencer fans and S.W. aficionados.

Their first official movie Spencer and Hill stared in together, a classic spaghetti western. Ironically it was Hill who started out as the harsher character while Bud played the more amicable guy.

It was an entertaining enough movie, but if you're looking for the humourous slapstick comedy we have come to expect from these guys, you won't get it. Unlike "They call me Trinity", it's a very serious Western with little in the way of humour, although I do find the shoot outs amusing as the guns seem to fire off more like cap guns than real guns.

What intrigues me here is the voice dubbing. Bud was dubbed by the man who was to do his voice in most of his movies; Glauco Onorato. Hill usually did his own English voice dubbing, but in this one he has someone else doing his voice, a much colder and harsher voice to match his character. I guess it's not surprising that they needed to do that, otherwise his character, Cat would just not have the same menacing aura to him. Perhaps for the same reasons Bud is normally voiced by Glauco.

This was the first in a series of three movies using these two characters.

This film is one the first collaboration between Spencer and Hill, in which they both play a big part (and it is their first film together with their FAMOUS screen names). It is no great film by any means, but I must say that I've seen worse films of both actors. The main difference between this film and most other Spencer and/or Hill films, is that it has a more serious nature and is a lot more brutal than their usual comedy-style films. The story is pretty good though, as is the acting and the music and the whole is watchable, but not good. What might have made it a notch worse for me, is that Spencer and Hill did not have their standard German voices, but I cannot really say, because…well it's obvious isn't it!?! Ok spaghetti western if you're into the more serious side of western. If you're more interested in comedy-western try a Trinity film.

6,5 out of 10 (with a 6 given upon voting)

I'm not sure why American-International chose to theatrically release in the U.S. this particular spaghetti western over dozens of others. Although this does the job for spaghetti western addicts (like myself), and it's never boring, it is not spectacular in any department - scenery, story, action, violence, etc.

The main attraction this movie has today is the early pairing up (before the TRINITY films) of Hill and Spencer. Spencer acts like his usual ornery self, though we do get the chance to see hill play a determined, more brutal western hero. The movie is also interesting that we see the duo in a more serious story for once. However, there are a few (mild) comic moments where you can see the rumblings of the comic characters the two were to later play. Did the TRINITY people see these scenes? I wouldn't be surprised!

Very good quality spaghetti western!Without exploration in genre but strong professional work on all levels.Not bad scenario (rude variation on THE GOOOD THE BAD THE UGLY scheme).Without inventions in plot and dialog but successful inside fighting and especially torture (rope,water(pit),fire) scenes.Red hair Bill San Antonio not demonic power character but sly fox.Terence Hill as Cat Stevens is equal parts of Franko Nero's (Django) and Clint Eastwood's (in "dollars trilogy") "good" guys performances.Bud Spencer's Hutch Bessy is pretty with limit (relatively for latest Spencer's characters) physical power. Generally: for all spaghetti western fans!

Even though it stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer don´t expect this to be a light-hearted comedy flick like the Trinity westerns. Realistic clothing, dusty dark intense atmosphere and a downright good script make this one a winner. If you want every grandmothers dream, parading around in his pink shirt and right out of the laundromat jeans shooting baddies by the dozens, don´t even bother watching this one. These characters got personality and flaws just like you and me.

Buy it, Rent it or forget all about it. 8/10

Among all the spaghetti-westerns I have seen(maybe 50) this one belongs to the better ones. It has in fact a pretty complex story line with revenge, false accusation, treasure-hunt and buddy relationship elements which cannot be told in one sentence. There is even a twist and some well placed flashbacks. Terence Hill showed his talents and the "chemistry" with Bud Spencer worked so well that it wasn't their last pairing, to say the least. And I liked to see them as serious actors.

No special score and overall regular cinematography.

Noteworthy: Sandra Brennan from Allmovie Guide rated it with only 1 star, the lowest rating I found. ;)

6 / 10.

I've never really appreciated the whole Terence Hill and Bud Spencer phenomenon the way that some people apparently do. I don't think they are any better as a duo than any other two random actors that could have been thrown together at that time, and as far as comedy goes, let's just say they are no Laurel and Hardy. I see no good reason for them ever having been teamed up for more than just one film. In fact, I think they've done better work when they haven't been together, especially in the case of Hill.

One saving grace for this film is that it is not one of their irritating attempts at comedy. It is a serious story with bloody violence, double-crosses, revenge, and gold. And it's told in good spaghetti western fashion. This film keeps the viewer intrigued from beginning to end, and it is accompanied by an interesting music score from Angel Oliver Pina.

The highlight of this movie is the performance of Frank Wolff, as Bill San Antonio. Wolff has appeared in a lot of spaghetti westerns playing all sorts of characters, and is one of the finest supporting actors of the genre. He really outdoes himself in this movie as the cunning, wisecracking, sadistic, backstabbing bandit who fakes his own death to make it easier for him to continue his crimes. San Antonio is one of those funny, over-the-top characters that make these movies so much fun to watch. Frank Wolff is so great in this role that he steals the show completely, and makes this movie way more enjoyable than it would have been otherwise.

Overall, this is a pretty decent spaghetti western that is worth watching for fans of the genre.

I always love Hill-Spencer's movies since 1976 when l'd watched the first one, since then every movie from both l watched in fullness on "Dio perdona...lo no!" is an unusual situation between the stars in this case they are complete antagonists, Hill is a gambler who was trapped by the chief band's robbers and Spencer work to insurance company where he has to recover the US$ 300.000 in gold that was stolen on a train robbery, this movie is more serious from the couple, the result is average, the partnership was so long is cinema's history, sadly Bud Spencer let us forever!!!

I know little about Director Giuseppe Colizzi but two of his collaborations with Mario Girotti aka Terence Hill and Carlo Pedersoli aka Bud Spencer deserve recognition: GOD FORGIVES... I DON'T! (1967) and ACE HIGH (1968).

GOD FORGIVES carries a rather serious-faced Terence Hill in the lead, and a smaller role with a similarly close-faced, even dour Bud Spencer. That seriousness would start to change the following year with ACE HIGH, where the first signs of the trademark Hill- Spencer comic complicity began to emerge, though largely on the back of yet another memorable Eli Wallach performance after his Tuco in THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY.

GOD FORGIVES opens with a superb poker game sequence, in which the dark, half hidden faces of the card players suggest impending violence. It is a key momentum-giving entrance that sets the mood for the rest of the film and, in particular, it introduces the viewer to the two real enemies: Hill and the deceptive mass murderer Bill Santo Antonio, convincingly portrayed by Frank Wolff.

The poker sequence leads to other very good scenes, notably when Hill is tortured in a well, Bud Spencer breaks his cross, and the explosive ending.

GOD FORGIVES is one of the better spaghetti Westerns, with some sharp dialogue giving weight to the action. 7/10.

This is a review of the uncut version, not the cut 'comedy' version.

"Dio Perdona... Io No!" aka. "God Forgives.. I Don't!" is not only the first film with both Bud Spencer and Terence Hill in the leading parts, it is also one of their best movies. Although the movie has many gags and humorous parts, "God Forgives... I Don't!" is not one of the usual Spencer/Hill comedies, but a pretty brutal and rather serious Spaghetti Western.

The movie starts with a train rolling into a town. Everybody on the train was massacred and the fortune it carried was stolen. Two gunslingers, Cat Stevens (Hill), and Hutch Bessy (Spencer) realize that the whole coup looks like the work of Outlaw Bill San Antonio. The mysterious thing about it is, however, that Cat killed San Antonio in a duel several months ago. On their search for the gold, the two get several clues that Bill San Antonio only staged his own death.

"God Forgives.. I Don't!" is definitely the most serious and brutal of the Spencer/Hill collaborations. Anyway, the movie also has many of the typical Spencer/Hill movie ingredients, like the numerous fistfights in which Spencer's character uses his typical hammering one punch technique.

Spencer and Hill show that they are not only great as a team in comedies, but also in a serious Spaghetti Western. Another Highlight of this movie is the great performance of Spaghetti Western Star Frank Wolff as the evil Bill San Antonio. I also liked the score a lot, especially the part with the somehow aggressive, dynamic, classical choir.

In Germany and Austria, this movie was released under three different titles. After the uncut version was released, it was re-released as a "Django" movie, and released again in its cut 'comedy version'. Terence Hill's character is also referred to as 'Django' in the uncut German version, and his dubbed voice is different to his dubbed voice in his later comedies.

All told, "God Forgives... I Don't" is a great Spaghetti Western, not like the usual Spencer/Hill movies, but a pretty brutal and serious movie, and definitely one of their best collaborations. 8/10

It's kind of hard to talk about this movie. It is a fine Western, it has a good amount of suspense, the characters are enjoyable to watch it's just very fine. It not anything spectacular, but if you want a relaxing evening, then this is the perfect Western comfort food.

The villain is a good. True psychopath that you just want to see, the downfall of. Truly despicable.

The man with the blue eyes does his very best Clint Eastwood impression and it's not that bad, but he is just fine as Main character. He does have very nice eyes, and some very nice athletic scenes.

Story about taking the fall for a gang leaders death, and then having to find him to get revenge. It's just very nice.

Just nice comfort food that I'm not gonna remember tomorrow.

God Forgives...I Don't! (1967)

** (out of 4)

Incoherent but violent Spaghetti Western has a train pulling up to a station but everyone on board has been shot and killed and there's also $100,000 in gold missing. Soon Terence Hill and Bud Spencer (their first film together) are trying to track down the gold, which has been buried somewhere in the west. Apparently there are at least two versions of this film out there and the one I watched was the AIP version, which got a theatrical release here in the States back in the day. The studio was known for editing and rearraging foreign films and I'm curious if that's what they did here because the film was really incoherent and didn't make too much sense as if some of the scenes were either edited or moved. Since I haven't seen the foreign version I'm not sure what the case is so I can just review what I watched. As for the film, outside it not making too much sense, it really isn't as bad as some of the reviews that I've read. This is the only film I've seen from the Hill/Spencer team, although I've got more sitting here to watch. I think the two make for an interesting duo but I've read the majority of their films together are more comedy than anything else. This one here is certainly played straight as there are very few laughs and a lot of violence. The opening sequence on the train is wonderfully done as is the following scene where Hill is playing poker against three cheaters. The violence really keeps the film moving even when the story doesn't make too much sense. This isn't the best spaghetti I've seen but I'm sure there are worse out there.

This film begins with a train carrying a dignitary to a small town in the wilderness. However, once it pulls into the station it comes to a sudden halt and it's then that the residents of the town realize that all but one man on the train have been shot and killed. It is then disclosed that a man by the name of "Bill San Antonio" (Frank Wolff) was behind the train robbery and an insurance agent by the name of "Hutch " (Bud Spencer) wants to recover the stolen money. It's at this point that he meets up with a stranger named "Cat" (Terence Hill) and asks him if he will help him out. But Cat has a long standing beef with Bill and wants to settle the score with him all by himself. Even so, Hutch is not dissuaded so easily and subsequently follows Cat in the belief that he will lead him straight to Bill and the stolen gold. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a decent "Spaghetti Western" with the added benefit of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer performing together for the very first time. It is followed by the sequel "Ace High".

Saturday morning and time for a western - a spaghetti western with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, who have appeared together a couple of dozen times.

Hill can be found in some of the most popular movies today, like Wanted and Get Smart. He has been in many films under the name Mario Girotti; this is only the second film where he used his present name. It is the first film where Bud Spencer, previously Carlo Pedersoli, appears under that name.

Lots of shoot-em-up action. Really not bad for a PG-1 western. Would have expected more from something that came from Italy.

The first half of this movie is a jumbled mess. There are voice-overs and flashbacks. Characters who come and go.

Maybe the director didn't know how to tell a story. Maybe some of the scenes he shot were ruined in the film lab and needed to be stitched together with narration, Oliver Stone-style.

In any event, I could hardly follow it.

Once Hill and Spencer come together again in the second half it's a lot more straightforward. I could still barely keep track of all the bad guys, but at least we know the story has been reduced "where's the gold hidden?"

This won't make anyone forget Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy with Clint Eastwood. But it's also not the worst spaghetti western ever made. It's basically a solid third or fourth feature in a Dusk-to-Dawn drive-in during the 70s.

This film is one of many films with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer that I can see over and over again without getting bored. It has a dark attitude and the acting is more serious than the Trinity films but have a light comic touch over it anyway. As all English version of a "Spagetti Western" the voices are dubbed afterwards, with or without the original actors voices.

I first saw this film for the first time in the 70's and didn't pay so much attention of the dubbed voices then.

When I saw it again for maybe the third time in the late 80's on my VCR, I suddenly realized that it wasn't Terence's voice at all, but a voice of an other actor I've heard many time over the years.

Of course it is just a qualified guess from a movie freak, but I'm pretty shure that Terence's voice is replaced by the voice of the English actor Roger Moore.

It is the sharp S'es and other characteristics in the voices that is giving him away.

There is also some poor attempts to hide the English accent with a vage tone of American-Western dialect.

I haven't seen any information yet that says that it is Roger Moore's voice but then again, I haven't seen any information that says that it isn't.

If you have "God forgives, I don't" on video cassette or DVD, see it again, close your eyes and picture Roger Moore face/acting instead.

What do you think now ?
