    Ardisson out for vengeance.

    Standard violent revenge story. Ardisson was always good as an action man in the 60s and early 70s and who doesn't love Sanchez in his usual jovial roles? The use of music from Goldfinger unfortunately took me out of the story when it appeared. There's less female pulchritude than usual for a Euro western. Cristina Iosani's exotic and busty sex appeal, on display in Robert Woods' My Name Is Pecos, is covered up in long dresses here as she plays Ardisson's love interest. The Gatling gun sequence is loud but bloodless, like it is in most westerns and US TV shows with the exception of The Wild Bunch.

    Mainly for die hard fans

    It becomes pretty clear a few times in this spaghetti western that it was trying to ape the original "Django" movie, not just for the fact the hero in this movie has a name similar to "Django". That didn't concern me that much, especially since for the most part the movie seems to be trying to do its own thing. The movie does have some interest here and there - a good musical score, a story that goes in a few unexpected areas, and a decent action climax. But the movie has some significant problems. One of the main problems is that the motivations of some key characters remains vague or simply not explained at all. Another problem is that the movie unfolds at a somewhat slower pace than you usually get for a revenge western. Fans of spaghetti westerns will probably get enough enjoyment out of it, though it isn't one that should be actively sought out.

    Cjamango vs the Smart Brothers

    Old MacDonald had a farm... and a son called Cjamango (Django in some dubbed versions). When MacDonald is killed, Cjamango (George Ardisson) hunts down the murderers in a typical revenge story. Jack Smart (Peter Martell) drinks too much, doesn't live up to his name and is killed quickly. His older brother Dick (Anthony Ghidra) gets a lot of men together now and chases Cjamango. Barrica (Pedro Sanchez) knows that there is a price on the heads of most pursuers, so in exchange for the bounty money, he helps Cjamango. After the courteous exchange of various brutalities between Cjamango and the smarter Smart brother, Cjamango remembers a friend of his father owns a machine gun from the civil war. Guess what? The first 30 minutes are not very encouraging to watch the rest, especially since the camera work is a bit static, but as soon as Cjamango meets the main villains, the action becomes a bit more lively (or rather, deadly), and in the end you get a typical, violent genre movie, not more than average but not less either. Some locations are familiar from "For A Few Dollars More", by the way.

    This is a good one

    "May God Forgive You...But I Won't" is a rock solid spaghetti western. It's a good looking movie. It tells its story well and its action is well staged. George Ardisson does a nice job as the hero. The supporting cast also does a nice job. "May God Forgive You...But I Won't" does go off the rails once in a while but it quickly gets back on track. I've been watching a lot of spaghetti westerns these past couple of years. They are a hit or miss kind of thing. This movie goes on the plus side of the ledger. (IMDB has a six hundred character minimum so I have to ramble on a little bit longer. How was your day?)

    Well shot in Almeria and starred by various Spaghetti Western stars : Ardisson , Ghidra , Martell and Sanchez

    Chiedi perdono a Dio... non a me(1968) , this is a sequel to Cjamango (1967) by Edoardo Mulargia starred by Ivan Rassimov ; dealing with Cjamango (George Ardisson) he's away from his ranch when six cutthroats attack and murder all the members of his family . When MacDonald family is killed , disrupted by this tragedy Cjmango sets out to take his vendetta . Cjamango hunts down the murderers in this typical vengeance story . One by one he kills the bandits and learns along the way who's the true killer : the Smart Brothers : Jack Smart (Peter Martell) and his is older brother Dick Smart (Anthony Ghidra as Dick Smart, this name is the same as an Eurospy movie directed by Francesco Prosperi in 1967) who gets a lot of henchmen together now and pursues Cjamango . Before, Barrica (Pedro Sanchez) from a hill watched how the heinous killers carried out the gruesome slaughter , so he helps Cjamango in exchange for the bounty reward. For money, for pleasure, for revenge , he doesn't care why he kills or how ¡ .

    This is a simple and plain story about typical Spaghetti plot , as a slaughter and atrocity takes place , then Cjmango executes a single-handedly revenge , as he slashes , burns , ravages and kills each person involved in the massacre . It is plenty of action in the movie , guaranteeing shootouts or stunts every few minutes .It is an exciting western with breathtaking showdown between the tough protagonist George Ardisson and the nasty enemy , villain Anthony Ghidra and his gun-toting hoodlums . Ardisson is fine but very serious , as he ravages the screen , he jumps , leaps, hits and runs ; besides receiving violent punches , kicks , lashes and strong tortures . Stars George Ardisson (1931-2014) as a two-fisted , trigger-happy gunslinger who's relentless in his vendetta , deadly in his violence . He used to play Spaghetti Westerns , Peplum and especially Euro-spy sub-genre , known for Agente S3(1965), As de pic , Operation Contraespionage , Hércules in the haunted world , Django defies Sartana, Erik the Conqueror , Gold of the Bravados , he was a second-class actor , here enjoying as a merciless revenger . Co-stars Yugoslavian actor Dragomir Bojanic-Gidra or Anthony Ghidra who starred various Spaghetti Westerns , and , another known face : Peter Martell and adding special mention for Pedro Sanchez who used to play similar roles to Fernando Sancho , here he performs a bounty hunter who helps our starring in exchange for the reward , to take the price on the heads of most outlaws wanted dead or alive .

    There are many fine technicians and nice assistant direction and adequate production design , it benefits from spectacular outdoors shot on location in Desert of Tabernas, Almeria , Spain , creating an excellent scenario withwith breathtaking chases and go riding through the barren outdoors , dirty landscapes under a glimmer sun with appropriate sets . The musician Felice Di Stefano , composes a nice soundtrack and well conducted ; it's full of Spaghetti sounds in Ennio Morricone style. Striking and colorful cinematography by cameraman Mario Manzini. The motion picture was professionally produced and directed by Spaghetti expert Vincenzo Musolino . In fact , his career expanded in Pasta Western genre , producing six Spaghetti Westerns : Quintana , Chiedi perdono a Dio... non a me , Non aspettare Django, spara , Cjamango , Vete con Dios, gringo and Why Kill Again? Or And Stop the Slayings. And he directed two of them : Quintana and Chiedi perdono a Dio... non a me (1968). Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable Spaghetti . The picture will appeal to aficionados .
