Audience Member The first entry in the Sartana series is fun and stylish, featuring high adventure and a high body count. Gianni Garko is a cool and charismatic lead, Klaus Kinski adds yet another awesomely entertaining villain to his resumé, and the colorful array of side characters are just a delight. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/20 Full Review tasos l No good music, or inspiral acting and scenes..a bit boring from the beginning to the end..not the spaghetti i'm used to... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If you meet Sartana; tell him the plots to his movies are rather confusing but still very enjoyable. Oh and Garko's screen presence is just awesome. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member SARTANA is an entertaining SW with lots of action, gun-play and fun--He is your Pallbearer!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is from the 10 Feature Film Collection Sartana The Complete Saga. I am a big fan of Spaghetti Westerns (the good ones, anyway), and was really looking forward to seeing "Sartana." I loved the film "Django"--I can understand why it was so successful and inspired so many imitation Django-films. But after viewing the English language video of "Sartana", I can't see any reason why "Sartana" inspired any imitators, or was so successful. To me, "Sartana" was just an average Spaghetti, with a high body count--mostly resulting from the villains killing each other. I watched the video twice, and I still don't understand the plot--it was a jumbled mess; perhaps the original Italian version made more sense. Klaus Kinski's role was limited to just a few scenes, with almost nothing to do. William Berger made a charismatic villain, but his personality inexplicably alternated between bravery and cowardice. (And I don't know how Berger was able to recruit gang members, the way he was always killing his own men.) The unshaven anti-hero Garko (who bore an uncanny resemblance to James Franciscus in some scenes) was pleasing but unexceptional in the lead role, his only unique feature was his weapon, a tiny four-barrel pepperbox-style pistol--which in reality, with its short barrels and tiny bullets, should have been vastly inferior in range, accuracy and effectiveness when compared to an ordinary six-shooter. Even the background music was bland. Too many incidents were lifted from the Leone/Eastwood films: the musical watch, the metal plate deflecting a bullet, the eccentric coffin maker. And Sartana wins the final showdown by using a trick, instead of his skill. "Sartana" is a historically important Spaghetti Western because of its success and the number of imitators (in name, at least) that it inspired, but there are many better films within the Spaghetti Western genre. 2 1/2 Stars 12-12-12 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Ei tätä ainakaan kovin hienovaraiseksi voi haukkua!
