This weird western could have been a masterpiece but was totally ravaged by a criminal cut and music randomly chopped everywhere.
Despite those painful moments, there are some real cult scenes that could delight Tarantino' fans.
It is as if there were three personalities inside the same movie.
The first, is the classic westerns one that in 1967 was yet obsolete, with goodwill heroes and not so villain villains.
The second is a weird spaghetti western style one (brave for a 67 american production) with pathetic fights between villains that wanted to be funny. The fights of Bud and Hill in "Trinita'" were still to come.
The third "personality" inside this movie is the most interesting one, with shocking unespected pure violence acts among characters that surprise us and slowly bring spectator deeper into their mental sickness and disturbing will not to stop (personal) war. This long before Peckinpah or Leone.
Absolutely innovative for the times. Strong and interesting storyline plot, deserved a much better production too.
