Viewing Notes

Was really looking forward to viewing this on the big screen and was so happy MBT screened this in Theater 1. Sadly wasn’t a print but the restored digital. Still really fun despite not being that great of a film. It’s really the awesome score that makes the flick (later repurposed by Tarantino for KB). Of course Van Cleef is great as ever and seemingly ageless but the mystery is thin as is the story. Also some pretty silly inexplicable moments like LVC catching a bullet in his teeth at point blank range.
