An Insult to the Spaghetti Western Genre.

"If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death" (1968), directed byGianfranco Parolini and starring Gianni Garko, William Berger FernandoSancho, Sidney Chaplin(!) and Klaus Kinski phoning in a cameo role, hasonly one great thing going for it, and that's its ridiculously over thetop title. The rest is a banal Spaghetti Western that has no tensionand no direction.The script, such as it is, has a lot of incident and detail, none ofwhich is interesting, as it is completely convoluted and very hard tocare what happens to whom. Still, the plot is something like this:Sartana (Garko) gets involved with an insurance swindle run by severaldignitaries, who hire a Mexican gang to steal a strong-box, and anAmerican gang, led by Lasky (Berger), to kill the Mexicans.It takes a very long time, too long, to find all this out, and by thatpoint, I ceased to care. Berger is a good actor, one that fits verywell into the greed-fill world of Spaghetti's, but isn't given anythinginteresting to do and is wasted completely. Kinski obviously was doinghis role for the money, which is a shame, as his is, career wise thebest actor in the film. Garko has a good opening line ("I am yourpallbearer."), but not much else, and doesn't have the same magneticpresence as Clint Eastwood or Lee Van Cleef.The director made "Sartana" and other "Circus" Westerns like this.They're called "Circus" Westerns because there is so much jumpingaround and choreographed back-flips that you might be watching akung-fu movie and not a Spaghetti. The sets here aren't so much grandas big, to accommodate all the acrobatics; it has a hefty budget, butthe desert scenes are shot in some quarry. Why? I suspect becauseParolini was more interest in making an action film that just happenedto be set in the West than creating a Western. These types ofSpaghetti's were certainly very popular in their day, and they gave alifeline to an ailing genre a few years later. I just wish the lifelinehad been better. Maybe saying this movie is an insult to the genre istoo strong, but when you see progressive and transcendent SpaghettiWesterns like "Black Jack" and "Once Upon a Time in the West" that weremade in the same year, you realise how lazy this film is.

Nice Spaghetti Western

Nice Spaghetti Western. The story concerns four rival groups out to geta chest full of gold. While the plot is actually almostincomprehensible, it's fun to watch Sartana and others switchallegiances about every five minutes. But the story here is secondaryto the action. The body count is very high with entire gangs beingwiped out by the burst of a Gatling gun. Gianni Garko as Sartana andWilliam Berger as Lasky are just fun to watch. It's not the bestSpaghetti Western I've seen, but I'm glad to finally have a copy.While the movie prominently lists Klaus Kinski in the credits, hisscreen time totals about 10 minutes.

Excellent spaghetti Western

Shrewd and lethal ace gunslinger Sartana (a fine and commandingperformance by Gianni Garko) goes after the dangerous band of thieveswho held up a stagecoach for a fortune in gold. Sartana engages in adeadly battle of its with the equally crafty and ruthless Lasky(splendidly played to the wicked hilt by William Berger), a totalbastard who's willing to do anything necessary (including killing hisown men!) to have exclusive dibs on the booty. Director GianfrancoPaulini, who also co-wrote the convoluted script with Werner Hauff andRenato Izzo, relates the complex and compelling story of greed, deceit,and treachery at a constant snappy pace, stages the plentiful thrillingshoot-outs with considerable skill and brio, maintains an appropriatelytough and gritty tone throughout, and tops everything off with a nicesense of amusingly sardonic humor. Moreover, there's a marvelouslygrotesque rogues' gallery of no-count villains: the always terrificFernando Sancho as wicked bandit Jose Manuel Mendoza, Sydney Chaplin asshifty banker Jeff Stewal, Gianni Rizzo as gross fat creep Alman, HeidiFischer as the fetching, but duplicitous Evelyn, and, in a regrettablybrief role, the immortal Klaus Kinski as Lasky's icy henchman Morgan.Frank Pesce delivers a delightfully spry turn as rascally old cootundertaker Dusty. The tricky narrative keeps you on your toes with allits surprising twists and turns and culminates in a tense and excitingfinal confrontation between Sartana and Lasky. Both Sandro Mancori'sexpansive widescreen cinematography and Piero Piccioni'sjaunty'n'groovy score are up to speed. An enjoyable film.

Sartana, angel of death!

It is very obvious why Sartana created an avalanche of sequels, onlysecond to Django. Even if it looks like yet another tale about stolengold, Mexican bandits and switching allegiances, Sartana feels (and is)different. Of course seen back in 1968, it must have wowed Europeanaudiences with its bleak cinematography and nihilistic characters.However, 40 years (!) down the line, and it still feels as refreshinglydark and stylish as ever.As in with most spaghettis, the plot is near incomprehensible. It hassomething to do about a stolen shipment of gold and a constantswitching of allegiances, as thief betrays thief to get the gold. But,again as in with most spaghettis, the plot isn't the issue at all.Sartana (1968) is a capsule of pure spaghetti western style. Everythingis kept very minimal here, from the scarce dialogues, to theperennially empty town streets. Yet there's a hellish ambiance toproceedings and the nonsensical plot only adds to its psychotroniccharm. I gave up trying to follow the plot after a while and justimmersed myself in the surreal happenings.Sartana himself is like a crossover between The Man with no Name (thestandard by which every spag antihero is measured) and Django, ablack-clad amoral anti-hero. He's not out there to catch the baddies.He's just out for money and blood. His quirky gadgets often bring tomind the other Parolini character, Sabata, but Gianni Garko's characterplays on a whole other level. There is of course, the occasional comicrelief, in the form of an old gravedigger, but it only confirms thatSartana is indeed a grim western. That same darkness would resurface inClint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter years later, on the other side ofthe pond.Overall, this is a must see for SW afficionados. If you're a fan ofCorbucci's nihilistic side (Django, The Great Silence), Sartana willmake you cream your pants. Dark, stylish, with a streak of Euro horrorrunning through it, Sartana is a criminally forgotten piece ofcelluloid. Watch it and find out.

Brilliant spaghetti western in the tradition of Sabata

This is my fifth spaghetti western review and i am going to review thefirst Sartana movie.This is a classic spaghetti western and it feels just like an AmericanB western from the 1950s.The plot of the movie is about a gunslingergoing after stolen gold from a stagecoach robbery,as you'd expect froma spaghetti western,tons of action follows.I was very impressed with the action in the film, it includes reallyloud shootouts and explosions and there is a very high bodycount,thescene where the stagecoach is chased,shot at and robbed is veryimpressive,this scene is followed by the outlaws who robbed thestagecoach being all shot dead by some of there fellowcomrades,immediately after this,the comrades are killed off by a theirleader who uses a Gattling gun to get rid of them.The rest of theaction includes sartana chasing the bad guys and getting involved inshootouts with them,one brilliant scene is where Sartana bursts intothe baddies ranch all guns blazing leading to an epic scale shootout inwhich several people are shot down. There's also a very good duel atthe end and all the action is more than satisfactory.The movie has a lot of very strong characters who are unique in theirown little way.This is an excellent movie and i highly recommend yousee it,it's my favourite Sartana movie so far.

Just an average Spaghetti Western.

I am a big fan of Spaghetti Westerns (the good ones, anyway), and was reallylooking forward to seeing "Sartana." I loved the film "Django"--I canunderstand why it was so successful and inspired so many imitationDjango-films. But after viewing the English language video of "Sartana", Ican't see any reason why "Sartana" inspired any imitators, or was sosuccessful. To me, "Sartana" was just an average Spaghetti, with a highbody count--mostly resulting from the villains killing each other. Iwatched the video twice, and I still don't understand the plot--it was ajumbled mess; perhaps the original Italian version made more sense. KlausKinski's role was limited to just a few scenes, with almost nothing to do.William Berger made a charismatic villain, but his personality inexplicablyalternated between bravery and cowardice. (And I don't know how Berger wasable to recruit gang members, the way he was always killing his own men.)The unshaven anti-hero Garko (who bore an uncanny resemblance to JamesFranciscus in some scenes) was pleasing but unexceptional in the lead role,his only unique feature was his weapon, a tiny four-barrel pepperbox-stylepistol--which in reality, with its short barrels and tiny bullets, shouldhave been vastly inferior in range, accuracy and effectiveness when comparedto an ordinary six-shooter. Even the background music was bland. Too manyincidents were lifted from the Leone/Eastwood films: the musical watch, themetal plate deflecting a bullet, the eccentric coffin maker. And Sartanawins the final showdown by using a trick, instead of his skill. "Sartana"is a historically important Spaghetti Western because of its success and thenumber of imitators (in name, at least) that it inspired, but there are manybetter films within the Spaghetti Western genre.
