El Sartana... l'ombre de ta mort

Jeff Cameron is hardly an A-lister among Spaghetti Western heroes, or any of the dudes playing a Sartana. But I liked the simplicity of this barebones mission to kill a slew of bad guys in exchange for removal of the bounty on his own head. The handsome, yet charisma-impaired, star does the taciturn terminator with very little distraction from the fleeting appearances of eye candy, or other compadres; and even less subtlety. Shoot-'em-ups rarely remain so focused. Who really cares if he kills six guys with seven rapid shots from his six gun? This aims for one's testosterone, not the intellect.

I did not watch the prequels, but I have to say how good this movie is. Basically, Sartana spend the whole movie shooting people, riding horses and fighting the bad guys. How many people fell from those cliffs, from the roofs and from their horses? All that without a single bloodstain or bruises. Sartana is a kind of super hero and he brings death with him, a lonely macho man feared by the entire old west. The costumes and filming locations are superb, the bad guys are not remarkable though. This movie is like a rock concert: in the concert is just rock from the beggining to the end, while here, the rockstar is Sartana and he is fist fighting and shooting all the time.

This is a truly awful, boring mess of a movie.

It features the notorious Sartana character, played by Gianni Garko in a number of films. In this movie, Sartana displays none of the flair of Garko. He doesn't even wear the official, all-black Sartana uniform. This third-rate spaghetti western was made solely to cash in on the fame of Sartana, and it's a poorly done rip-off.

If you want to watch a tedious film, filled with lots of stuntmen flailing their arms as they pretend to get shot, this is for you. Everyone else avoid this.

Bandits are spreading terror and fear across the land. The marshal is an old man with no chance to stop them, therefore desperate citizens suggest to ask a wanted man for help: Sartana (Jeff Cameron) who has a price on his head. Sartana makes a deal with the marshal and starts hunting the bandits. Rather weak sequel of the Sartana series, scripted and directed by Demofilo Fidani who had a certain reputation for his very cheap flicks, yet several of those are clearly better than "Passa Sartana...". Note that Fidani himself appears in the movie as one of the citizens at the marshal's office - wearing a pair of modern blueish glasses obviously not from the wild west!

This Fidani Sartana movie is a cheap but also a very funny movie.

As all the other Fidani movies it's only a real fun for fans.

It has nothing do to with the other Sartana movies with Gianni Garko as protagonist, here the stuntman Jeff Cameron plays Sartana. You can also see a few other stuntman who have played in the most of Fidanis western like Benito Pacifico, Dino Strano, Luciano Conti his daughter Simonetta and you can also see the master himself with incredible big glasses. The soundtrack from Lallo Gori is also really great.

The movie is very enjoyable, a must see for Trashfans.
