| 01.22.06 | Netflix | ahh the four-barrel Derringer is back! along with Lee Van Cleef! It's almost like Adios, Sabata never happened... which is weird, but anyway. Right from the beginning this one is like... well ok in the same way that Leone's Eastwood trio got more and more baroque and operatic, this series seems to get more and more comedic and goofball. in this one we got a guy who'd rather chomp down on a rubber thong and lay down spread-eagle stretching out the rubber with his legs like a human slingshot to kill people with than shoot a gun. The Parolini requisite acrobat is in full effect, and an awesome brass knuckles/switchblade/i think also a gun maybe is the weapon of choice for the dirty priest who Sabata has to take gold away from. It's pretty damn clear that Clef is either drunk or having a great time through this entire movie... he's got those eyes shifting and pulling off impossible hipshots and trapping bad guys in a whole bevy of situational boobytraps like spraying guys with water or shooting a guy with a rifle strapped under a table to even going so far as to hide a blowdart in his cigar (what???). Yeah, it's pretty safe to say that by this time Sabata and his whole universe is pretty far off the deep end... but that doesn't mean it's bad! The movie is a great time... really fun. I think it'll take a little time to decide which is my favorite though. |
