Sartana is part of a series and is not meant to be on the level of Eastwood films. It does not have to be. All though there are 5 official films in this series 4 of then star Gianni Garko. This is the third one. Sartana does nothing more except want money money and more money. He can shoot and scheme is way out of anything. The throwing of cards is a wonderful idea if one really understands spaghetti westerns. The score by bruno nicolai is incredible, it is one of his finest scores. The gunplay is awesome. That is the idea, Sartana is not supposed to get hurt. He is somewhat of a mystical figure, and this particular film has more humor than the ones in the rest of the series. I highly recommend it. Other titles in the sartana/series are I AM SARTANA YOUR ANGEL OF DEATH LIGHT THE FUSE SARTANA IS COMING and the first one IF YOU MEET SARTANA PRAY FOR YOUR DEATH.

the first season was nothing like the subsequent seasons. In the first season Mannix worked for a computer detective organization known as intertect. For some reason this idea was dropped and for the next seven seasons he was nothing more than a regular private detective. i think that the first critique is from someone who never saw the first season.The first season also had joe campanella as Manniz's boss. These two had a good time working together as evidenced by some bloopers that were shown in the 1980's. This show was known for being violent and again the first season was probably the most violent as opposed to the subsequent seasons.
