Trailer Synopsis Cast

The commander of a Texan fort in the Civil War refuses to surrender to the Northerners, and tries to buy the local Indian tribe chief's daughter. The sage man refuses, and the Southerners massacre the tribe and abduct the young squaw anyway. The noble squaw manages to escape, and hides out with a rough rancher, who dislikes Indians, but hates the Southerners more. The odd couple joins forces, and tactics, to exert ultimate vengeance on the men at the fort.

Mapi Galan is drop-dead gorgeous. In spite of the stereotypes, less than stellar acting and incredibly bad special effects makeup, I rather enjoyed watching this film.

Guy must've gotten a poor bootleg copy .. that's what you get for being cheap!! You should get the DVD.. Excellent color, no dark scenes and some nice scenic shots... It's a western.. in the revenge mode.. and you could easy plug Yul Brenner, Lee Van Cleef, or maybe even one of the better cowboy actors into the lead role and it would've done big box office.. Again.. not a bad movie at all.. It's not RATS but what is?? What I didn't like... and I'll agree with the reviewer about.. is the Confederate uniforms.. they had been through as war... but their uniforms were brand new clean!! All white and fresh.. The torture by meat hooks scene was rough.. in a Man Called Horse sorta way..

Not a bad one for Mattei. Released at the same time with White Apache, and according to rumors with more input by Mattei (who apparently directed most of this film) than on White Apache.Lots of bad dialogue of course, but that was more or less expected. The music was for certain parts quite good, in the vein of older spaghettis but during other parts awful with more modern (whatever) flavor.The film was certainly watchable, much better than, for instance, Zombi 3 which he "Co-directed" when Fulci was away for one or other reason. Mattei also tried here for some parts (usually in vein, though) to create this into a some kind of 'drama' film which was not so successful.I have no idea about which version is uncut and which one is not, the version I saw was on Greek video.If you find this one somewhere, check it out. It's not that bad as it is rumored to be (depending on your tastes, of course). I enjoyed it anyway.

The spaghetti western made a mini-comeback in the 1986/1987 period, what with DJANGO STRIKES BACK being released, along with this movie and WHITE APACHE, both of which I'm pretty sure Mattei directed at the same time. For spaghetti western fans (like myself), or fans of Mattei's sometimes delirious exploitation movies like RATS, it's a double disappointment. It's a dreary affair for the most part, seeming to run an extra half hour than it actually does. It's also pretty cheap-looking, not just with the obvious things like tacky Confederate costumes and poor cinematography (some night scenes are near impossible to make out), but Mattei wasn't even able to find some nice Spanish locations to shoot on like the countless spaghetti western made 20 or so years earlier! There are a few bits of nonsense that will make you smile, like one scene that blatantly rips-off a famous moment from RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2 (!), and one of the strangest final showdowns in spaghetti western history. There are also some really bloody bits, from scalpings to torture. Speaking of torture, I think this would be a good movie to force spaghetti western-hating author Brian Garfield to watch - with it not only being spaghetti but especially bad, his eyeballs would probably explode!
