Return of Sabata Audience Reviews

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Prismark10 Slightly hippyish and silly western of the cool 9 fingered gunslinger Sabata looking for an angle in a new upcoming town which is being heavily taxed by the town's land baron for supposed improvements but its is just a form of legalised theft.Sabata is a wily old fellow, as you are shown in the opening scene. He has all sorts of guns up his sleeve even under his shoe.His grinning sidekick Lt Clyde is constantly caught out by Sabata for pulling a fast one and it signals that the film will contain some amount of double crossing and some more.There are also two acrobats helping along who jump off buildings, stage fights, steal and do all sorts of somersaults in the gangs quest for some gold coins. In fact these two were fantastic, with one of them using his legs like a slingshot as well.Its a strange film, rather hard to follow, maybe because of the poor dubbing and the plot is complicated. Its a spaghetti western shot in Spain. Lee Van Cleef though is shot on with his performance.
Agnelin This has to be one of the most entertaining, funniest and fun to watch movies I've seen in a while! As a lover of spaghetti westerns and a big fan of Lee van Cleef, I was excited about catching this on TV. Not the kind of movie you have the chance to watch usually, at least where I live. I expected just one more SW, but no -"É tornato Sabata" offers something more. It is quirky, it is sometimes bordering the realms of surreal; and it's a lot of fun to watch. But funny, also -in fact, it's something of a comedy-western, with the agreeable bit of cheesiness that you can find in some of these movies -movies made only to entertain people and provide a good time. This movie does that not only by way of the plot -the charismatic and mysterious hero Sabata arrives in a town ruled by a local tyrant who imposes abusive taxes, with the action that ensues- but also and especially thanks to the amusing dialogues and performances of the whole cast, of which I especially enjoyed Lee van Cleef -once again showing what a talented, sadly underrated actor he was, but also how much he enjoyed his work-, and Pedro Sánchez, here listed as Ignazio Spalla.Gianfranco Parolini directs the movie, paying very good attention to most of the unwritten rules or principles of spaghetti westerns, following Sergio Leone's extreme close-ups or sometimes slightly overdone facial expressions or sound effects.Going back to the plot, I have to add that it contains enough fun and clever twists to be quite original and worth watching closely.I rate this 9/10. Enjoy!
Arlis Fuson This time Sabata is in a town doing his bit in a circus and being the outlaw that he is refuses to pay taxes. A gang of Irish men came in charging the town taxes in promise of building the town up all nice for them, but Sabata knows that McLintock and his henchman are up to no good and he wants in on their action in a fast attempt to blackmail them.Definitely not as good as part one, but I think its pretty neck and neck with part 2. I like Yul and Lee both, but think I like Cleef best in this role, I think he plays westerns way better than Bryner does.This movie was wild, starting out with psychedelic music and trippy colors and a 8 man killing spree that turns out to be a circus act... Very strange, and then a weird theme song to start the credits made me scratch my head as to what I was watching.Once again Kramers direction is great, but like so many things in this movie it is the least greatest of the three. Many actors came back from the previous films playing other people like Pedro Sanchez and Bruno Ukmar and Gianni Rizzo.I thought the movie was good, it had silly antics and more fist fighting than the others. They tried to make it more comedy based, and probably not an intention but I loved that Cleef was wearing a wig - that was funny 5/10 stars fans of the genre will enjoy all three of these films.
funkyfry Sabata returns (again) to kick a** and earn cash. Van Cleef is good and there is a lot of visual interest in this action story. I particularly liked the shots of Sabata and friends cresting various sand dunes. The acrobats and other characters from the other Sabata films are also back, once again with new names (very much like Eastwood's "no name" character who, contrary to myth, in fact has 3 names) presumably so they can be killed off again. I had a lot of fun watching it, but 3 days later I can't really remember what it was about. Well, heck, it's still a good movie!
