    Unique oater, but not in a good way

    The title and premise evoke fond memories of the old Kung Fu TV series and a handful of GOOD movies that adroitly mixed Asian martial arts with our cowboy era. This one starts slow, and stays there. We're all familiar with transition scenes of characters walking or riding for a while. This one may have set a record for percentage of running time on such narratively pointless meanderings through completely uninteresting environs. But that's OK here, since the dialog, acting and action scenes are so dull, there's no hurry to reach them. I've seen over 200 Spaghetti Westerns (including many far superior vehicles for George Eastman and Gordon Mitchell), and this is probably the most missable of the lot.

    Terrible Thai-Spaghetti Western!

    Directed by the undistinguished Franco Lattanzi, this late entry in the Spaghetti Western-Gongfupian subgenre has nothing to offer. Thai actor Srivilai and old chinese actor Wong Kam Lung are on the asian side; the european side has George Eastman (Luigi Montefiori, known among Horror-fans for ANTROPOPHAGUS), plus several italian stuntmen. And that's all!

    Below average Spaghetti/chop-socky Western in low budget with action , go riding, crossfire and fights

    Inferior Spaghetti Western , it starts in Thailand , where a brave young , Tiger: Krung Srivilai , wants to keep his promise engaged to his dead friend by travelling to a foreign and far country . As Thai Tiger undertakes a dangerous trip from Thailand to America to remit to the family of his deceased American friend all his belongings , jewels and a golden Elephant earned through many years of hard work in the Asian country . In America Tiger befriends a Chinese : Kim Wong Lung and his wife , fighting against a nasty gang led by Jack Mason : Gordon Mitchell ,who attempts to take the valuable inheritance , while a sheriff : George Eastman or Luigi Montefiori attempts to deliver justice .

    Lousy and ridiculously made Pasta Western in short budget , it follows in the wake of Karate sub-genre blended with Spaghetti , whose origin was " Red Sun" by Terence Young , going on "The Karate , the Colt and the Impostor" by Anthony M. Dawson or Margheritti , "Shanghai Joe" by Mario Caiano and "Return of Shanghai Joe" by Bitto Albertini . It is a thrilling and violent Italian Western with ordinary ingredients as a courageous , honest antihero searching justice and vengeance , Karate fights , duels , extreme outlaws wishing gold along with regular final confrontation . Stars two tarnished oriental actors : Krung , Wong Lung as a pair of valiant heroes who must move fast to struggle their way through unbearable risks and twisted difficulties . Along with Gordon Mitchell and George Eastman or Luigi Montefiori, both of whom played lots of Spaghetti Westerns , Terror and Peplum or Sword and Sandals movies . While remaining support cast starred by unknown actors .

    It displays an anticlimatic and unattractive musical score by Alberto Baldan . As well as atmospheric cinematography with inappropriate exteriors from cameraman Giovanni Visconti , shot on location in Lacio , Rome, Italy . This appalling motion picture was embarrassedly directed by Franco Lattanzi . The latter was a dreadful director who only made three films , all off them Spaghetti Westerns starred by regular actors as William Berger , Robert Woods , Luigi Montefiori , these were the undistinguished following ones : "The Executioner of God" , "Six Bounty Killers for a Massacre" , "The Tiger from Kwai" . Rating : 2.5/10 , an abysmal , terrible production .
