8/10
Sets New Standards For "Over The Top!"

Warning: Spoilers
I got this as part of a "20 Movie Pack Spaghetti Westerns" you can find on Amazon, it was worth the purchase price (cheap). This was one of the highest rated movies of the bunch so I watched it first as it sounded like fun. It's a typical kung fu east meats racist west movie set in the west, for those of you who find that concept "original" there was a popular TV show on at the time called "Kung Fu" so this is along those same lines except since its a movie they can do a lot more in the violence department. As the concept goes it would rate just a 5 or so, but the violence is soooo over the top that it definitely elevates the ohh and ahh factor for me to a solid 8. This guy goes through at least 6 to 8 fights, pissing off the whole west as he goes and meets at least 4 video game type bosses, in fact he meats so many bosses that the movie ends before he gets the guy behind it all! I think they saved the big boss for the sequel that I'll probably never see as it's not included in this movie pack deal I got, although someday I will run across it I'm sure and probably hate it, lol. This is a great flick to watch with friends and laugh along the way and then say, "dang!" when he starts pulling bosses eyeballs and hearts out, 8 of 10 for over the top cheesy violence, it set new ground for me for a movie from the 70's.
