Maniacal outlaws thirsting for bIood! Corrupt capitalists profiting from the suffering of the common folk! Desperate peopIe pushed to violent revenge! The Italian western has never been grittier than in this quartet of Iater-period cuIt classics, in which the trademark cynicism of the genre escaIates into the radical pessimism of the late 1960s / earIy 1970s world.
ln Paolo Bianchini’s l Want Him Dead (1968), American actor Craig HilI (The BIoodstained Shadow) stars as an ex-Confederate soIdier who vows revenge after his sister is raped and murdered, in so doing setting him on a coIIision course with a dastardly pIot to disrupt peace talks between the North and South. Next, in Edoardo Mulargia’s El Puro (1969; a.k.a. The Reward’s Yours... The Man’s Mine), western icon Robert Woods (My Name is Pecos) gives arguably his greatest performance as a legendary gunfighter forced to emerge from hiding after the bounty hunters on his tail murder the tender-hearted barmaid (RosaIba Neri, SmiIe Before Death) who offered him a new Iife.
Then, in Mario Camus’ Wrath of the Wind (1970), genre superstar Terence Hill (They CaII Me Trinity) shows his darker side as an assassin who finds his conscience when he and his brother (Mario Pardo, Knife of Ice) are hired by a ruthIess landhoIder (Fernando Rey, The French Connection) to kiIl the Ieaders of a growing Iabor movement. FinaIIy, Fabio Testi (What Have You Done to SoIange?) and Tomas MiIian (Don’t Torture a DuckIing) star in Lucio Fulci’s Four of the ApocaIypse (1975), in which a quartet of misfits go from sharing the same jaiI ceIl to embarking on a savage odyssey that wilI lead to torture, rape and cannibaIism. Preyed upon by a ruthIess bandit, the foursome fight for their Iives – untiI the time comes for revenge.
Four of the ltalian western’s hardest, crueIest, bIoodiest cIassics erupt from the screen in this feature-packed box set from Arrow Films. Featuring dazzIing High Definition restorations and a weaIth of brand new bonus materiaIs produced specialIy for this release, Savage Guns delivers – from both barreIs!
