If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death

First of the sartana films ive watched and i wasn't disappointed. Its not a complex film and isn't very gory either but what it does have is lots of shootouts if you are looking for something to turn off your brain to its this film. Sartana is this badass guy trying to unravel everything he's deadly, he's quiet, he resembles Clint Eastwood, he plays poker like James Bond, has his own special pistol and he has his own unique style of clothing which makes him standout in the desert. I'm rating it high just because its a fun movie and what other reason is there to watch a movie in all honesty. Even has his own outcast side kick the coffin maker weird how they always seem to be the outcast in westerns.

I'm a big Spaghetti Western fan and fairly tolerant of the stylistic excesses, but this film made little sense. It's not clear what is motivating Sartana, the undertaking laughs insanely, William Berger does not know how to act, etc.

A so-so spaghetti western marred by some fairly inert direction by Gianfranco Parolini. Gianni Garko is Sartana as he runs head on into a town populated with double & triple crossing lowlifes. When a treasure chest of gold goes missing, all hell breaks loose. Parolini, who would go on to direct the classic SABATA a few years later, shows very little imagination here, save for a few gunfights and clever death trap set by Garko. Still, there's much to recommend...Garko is excellent and the supporting cast is very colorful: Sidney Chaplin; Klaus Kinski (billed as Kinsky); Franco Pesce; Gianni Rizzo. William Berger is Garko's chief adversary, a greedy gun for hire who'll stop at nothing for a payday. Pesce, as a very hyperactive coffin maker who seems to be channeling both Walter Brennan and the Italian comic Totò at the same time, is very funny. In the end everyone gets what they deserve! The music by Piero Piccioni is terrific.

This movie is shameless, even by spaghetti western standards. The only thing good, or sort of watchable about the film is the fat bad guy who shameless copycats the character of Tuco from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Nice Spaghetti Western. The story concerns four rival groups out to get a chest full of gold. While the plot is actually almost incomprehensible, it's fun to watch Sartana and others switch allegiances about every five minutes. But the story here is secondary to the action. The body count is very high with entire gangs being wiped out by the burst of a Gatling gun. Gianni Garko as Sartana and William Berger as Lasky are just fun to watch. It's not the best Spaghetti Western I've seen, but I'm glad to finally have a copy. While the movie prominently lists Klaus Kinski in the credits, his screen time totals about 10 minutes.
