Viewing Notes
Much more comical than the first Sabata film which is a weird tone to balance here considering all the death that happens. I’m sure these films, this one in particular, were an influence on Robert Rodriguez since there are so many gadget guns esp. Sabata’s rotary palm pistol, which is ridiculous. All that said, this is an immensely enjoyable watch. Watching LVC do is thing is magic; he commands every scene w/his presence. Once again I love Aldo Canti, who returns as a different albeit the same acrobat character. His stunt work I had to rewind a few times b/c it’s so amazing. That one-take leap off the roof backflip is incredible!
