It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A bounty hunter seeks revenge on some thugs who have wronged against his family; these criminals also double up as gun runners.His Name is King is such a forgettable spaghetti western that I struggled to actually pay full attention to it. Like many in the sub-genre it has a thoroughly routine plot-line with nothing that really stood out for me. The top-billed actor was Klaus Kinski who plays a good guy who turns out to actually be bad. He's not in it much though and the picture is really led by the pretty forgettable Richard Harrison. Proceedings could definitely have benefited from more Kinski that's for sure, as he tended to put in interesting performances even when you just know he couldn't really be bothered. On the whole, not a bad film as such, just very pedestrian.

After his brother is murdered and sister-in-law raped on their wedding day by sadistic cutthroats, bounty hunter/lawman Richard Harrison seeks revenge. He soon finds out that things aren't always what they seem though.Uninspired writing and directing, along with a terminally low budget, sinks this before it even really gets started, making it not worth recommending, except for maybe the hardest of the hardcore spaghetti western buffs. A miscast Klaus Kinski is for the most part wasted.Being fairly non-offensive and very short, this seems almost like a cheap, 1970's TV movie.

I'm a spaghetti western fanatic, enough so that even lesser efforts in the genre entertain me. However, with this particular spaghetti western I find it hard to generate much enthusiasm, so I can only imagine what a non-fanatic might think of this movie. It has a somewhat confusing plot, with characters doing things that often seem murky. Harrison's character is an unexceptional hero, and several times is off-screen for long periods of time. Kinski's character ends up being bizarre due to Kinski acting completely different from what his character says or does at the same time. That does give the movie some moments of (unintended) humor. The movie does have some good action sequences and has a good musical score, especially the title song, which is one of the best ever composed for a spaghetti western. But in the end, you'll forget most of the movie not long after watching it, so I would only recommend it if you are really into Euro westerns (and Klaus Kinski).

Mish mash of a western from Italy.King is a bountyhunter after a vicious gang of brothers who are selling gatling guns to Mexicans.Boring, uneven, uninspired and unimaginative run of the mill spaghetti western. Only scenes that work are the ones where Klaus Kinski appears on screen, which is alltogether about 10 minutes anyway.Best missed.Released on video in Finland in the early eighties.
