Sometimes too over the top

(1970) I Am Sartana, Trade Your Guns For A Coffin/ C'è Sartana... vendi la pistola e comprati la bara!

DUBBED SPAGHETTI WESTERN

The first 20 minutes was kind of too over the top and ridiculous. I could not get into the movie until after I had to make sense to what I just saw, which it was not until after the second or third viewing is when I was able to grasp in terms of events. Bounty hunter, Sartana (George Hilton) is watching from a distance with a telescope of some men traveling with a wagon until he spots someone he recognizes. And it appears one of the wanted men happens to be on one of the posters. But just as he was about to make his move, a group of bandits then show up and kill all of the men there. And just as soon as the bandits finish their business when one of them threw a stick of dynamite. Sartana is seeing all of this, and he manages to put it out by throwing his water pale a mile from where he is standing up at the mountains, shooting the pale of water to put the dynamite out. He then grabs one of the sand bags that is supposed to be filled with gold dust, and he sees that it is filled with nothing but sand. After he collects his bounty award, he then goes to an almost desolate Mexican village or area. As Sartana attempt to ride through the town someone then tries to stop him, and he manages to shoot the sign over the bandit to knock him out. And he then walks into a Mexican saloon, where there is no one other than a bandit on the table stuffing himself and the bar owner, he stirs trouble with the bandit, and he lets him run out. And where is bandit runs off to, he grabs other bandits. Three of them show up to confront Sartana as he is about to eat something sitting exactly at the same spot where the bandit was sitting. As they see Sartana's holster hung on the hanger, they think he is unarmed. But as they draw their guns at him, he shoots all three of them through the round loaf of bread placed on front of him. The other bandits are looking through the window as the young child of a mother held against her will escapes and runs into the saloon. The little child then offers his savings to save his mother, but he refuses. While the bandits are waiting, sticks of dynamite are seen coming through the fire place, and they all run out. Sartana succeeds shooting all of them, for it was obvious the sticks of dynamite are actually candles. He then gives the mother and her child some money before they on their way, and asks for some information regarding gold shipments.
