Wow! This movie sounds awesome - it has all of my favorites involved with it (Corbucci, Nero, Palance, Morricone, Nicolai!!) How have I never heard of this? Is it amazing, or is there a good reason for it?
If you're into Spaghetti Westerns, you should check out my Spaghetti Western Concept Rap album, called "Showdown at the BK Corral." It's basically an epic Spaghetti Western over 9 tracks - very influenced by Leone and Morricone. I'd love to hear what you think of it! You can download it for free at sunsetparkriders.com
