You don't mess with hawks because they can pick up and fly away with babies. In this movie, Van Cleef is a manhunter set on the trail of a wiley mexican named Cuchillo. There's also a great German baron sharpshooter that wears a monacle and plays the piano. In a great showdown, "Fur Elise" is mashed up into the typical spaghetti western score to make a pretty unique sound as he and Van Cleef square off (one guess as to who wins, although i would've put money on him shooting the baron through the monacle... i would've lost though). It's a fun movie, good times... I find myself getting into these more and more lately. |
