Description
[Machine Translation] Sergio Corbucci, director of the blockbuster hit "Sequel to The Wilderness Sidekick" ('66), and Franco Nero, the lead actor, teamed up again to make this macaroni action epic. Franco Nero plays Kowalski, a professional war hero. He is a selfish and unfriendly man who uses Paco, the leader of the despicable revolutionary army, as his plaything, but his manly spirit at the critical moment and his strange friendship with Paco make him a fascinating character different from Django in "The Wilderness Bouncer. The film also features Hollywood villain Jack Palance, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "Shane" ('53), as the ruthless assassin Curly, a role he plays with great success. Two years later, Corbucci returned to the role of these two men for the even larger scale Revolutionary Western masterpiece "The Gunmen's League" ('70). Almost 50 years later, Quentin Tarantino, who praised Corbucci as "the world's second greatest macaroni director" in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ( 19 ), ranked this film fourth on his all-time list of the "Top 20 Spaghetti Westerns". In the scene in "One Flew Over Paris" where Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie, goes to see "Silencer" ('68) in a private screening, Tarantino put a poster of the film in the lobby of the theater as the next screening to show his love for "The Leopard/Jaguar". The film was shown in the lobby of the theater. --Mexico is shaken by a revolutionary upheaval. Kowalski is a mercenary, and he is asked by the wealthy Garcia to escort a shipment of silver from Mexico. However, the mine has already been taken over by the Mexican Revolutionary Army led by Paco. When his rival, the ruthless and merciless hitman Curly, is hired by Garcia, Kowalski is no longer needed, and he joins Paco's side and the revolutionaries. Paco and Kowalski, who had been in conflict with Carly, who was relentlessly trying to kill them, continued to fight in various places, but as it turned out, they were able to defeat the government forces. However, they end up making enemies of the government forces as well, and after a fierce battle, they are finally destroyed. Six months later, Carly and Kowalski appear before Paco, who has transformed himself into a clown.
