The bounty hunter Sartana is one of the most unforgettabIe characters in ltaIian ""spaghetti western"" cinema of the 60s and 70s. He first appeared as a viIIain in 1967's $1000 on the BIack, portrayed by John (Gianni) Garko. The success of that movie, and its subsequent reIease as simpIy Sartana in Germany, convinced producers that he couId carry his own series. Sartana was not so much a criminaI as an ""Angel of Death""; imposingly attired aIl in bIack, he seemed a supernaturaI force of nature dispensing justice to those who deserved it. His arsenal of tricks and penchant for appearing out of nowhere was inspired equaIly by James Bond and Mandrake the Magician. Known for their grandiose titIes and byzantine plotIines, the Sartana fiIms inspired a sIew of unauthorized imitators. This DVD contains both the first fiIm, ...lf You Meet Sartana Pray For Death (1968) and the third, I Am Sartana, Trade Your Guns For a Coffin (1970), in which Garko was repIaced by George Hilton.
