Killer's Code: Steal Their Land... Take Their Women!
This forgotten S. W. packs thrills , action , treason , hilarious scenes, lots of shots , gunplay and struggles in Terence Hill/Bud Spencer style . All in all, this film is predominantly a Spanish film rather than an Italian one . It's a two country co-production but is clearly dominated by the Spanish contingent and the traditional leanings of the Spanish producers of the time have their stamp on the entire proceedings . There is plenty of action , a number of gunfights and fistfights and humor with tongue firmly in cheek , guaranteeing shoot'em up , pursuits or stunts every few minutes . It packs fun and enjoyable final fights in the mud in similar style to ¨John Wayne's McLintock! (1963)¨ . It's an exciting SW with continuous confrontation between starring Anthony Steffen and the enemies : Fernando Sancho, Robert Hundar , Ricardo Palacios and their hoodlums , and along the way , happening shootouts , surprises and double-crosses . The picture is well starred by Anthony Steffen-Antonio De Teffe- , he plays a drifting gunman who attempts to win back the family farm he lost to Kelly in a card game and after Dallas ends up driving off Doug Bright and his band . Steffen began playing secondary roles into typical examples of popular Italian films of the late 50s as sword and sandal epics , comedies, adventures and was with spaghetti westerns that renamed achieved worldwide stardom . His acting is often accused of being wooden, but in many manners is ideally suited to playing the steely-faced gunslinger synonymous with the genre . His others successes include well liked features as ¨Seven Dollars to Kill¨ , ¨The last Mohican¨, ¨Train for Durango¨, ¨Gentleman Jo¨ , ¨Four dollars for Django¨, ¨Shango¨, ¨Arizona colt¨, ¨Apocalypse Joe¨ and several others . However , the three botcher baddies : Fernando Sancho , Ricardo Palacios and Robert Hundar steal the spectacle with their usual antics , frolics and shoddiness . In addition , there appears usual secondaries of Spanish/Italian Western , such as : Antonio Mayans, César Ojinaga , Gaspar 'Indio' González , among others .
There are many fine technicians and nice assistant direction , acceptable production design , an atmospheric scenario on the villages , ranch , and barren outdoors , rocky mountains , dirty landscapes under a glimmer sun and fine sets filmed in Fraga , Huesca , Park of Montseny and Spluglues de Llobregat , Barcelona , Spain , and Lacio , Rome Italy . Nevertheless , failed cinematography by cameraman Julio Pérez de Rozas , being really necessary a perfect remastering because the film copy is worn-out. Musician Marcelo Giombini composes a silly , humorous soundtrack , including anticlimatic sounds . This is one of the uncountable Westerns that the Spanish producers were joined by Italian financers as Alberto Grimaldi from PEA productions , who established around Madrid , Almeria or Fraga (Huesca) , especially to shoot the exteriors, a new stable center for filming westerns . The picture titled ¨ Il mio nome è Scopone e faccio sempre cappotto¨or ¨Dallas¨(1974) was lousily directed by Juan Bosch, containing some flaws , failures and gaps. This craftsman was a Spanish writer/filmmaker who so consistently mixed the good with the mediocre that it became quite impossible to know what to expect from him next . Bosch was a Spanish artisan who wrote and directed films of all kinds of genres such as Spaghetti Western : "Dallas", "God in heaven Arizona on Earth", "And the crows will dig your grave" , "My horse my gun your widow", "Ciudad Maldita", "Stagecoach of the condemned", "They believed he was no Saint" . Comedy : " Mauricio mon amour" , "40 años sin sexo", "Caray con el divorcio", "Rolls para Hipolito" . Terror : " Secta Siniestra" and Giallo : "The killer with a thousand eyes", "The killer wore gloves" . Rating 4.5/10. Only for Spaghetti hardcore aficionados . An euro-western of the final period which, although far from the postulates Leonianos .
