Audience Member Franco Nero may play Texas sheriff Burt Sullivan in this movie, but that didn't stop it from being called Django 2 in some countries. Then again, there are so many Django movies that don't have Nero in them and have absolutely nothing to do with that movie. Shot in the Spanish province of Almería at exactly the same time Sergio Leone was making The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Texas Adios finds Nero's sheriff heading across the border with his younger brother Jim (Alberto Dell'Acqua) to get revenge against the man who killed their father, Cisco (José Suárez). The twist is that Cisco ends up being Jim's real father. Directed by Ferdinando Baldi, who would go on to make much better movies like Comin' at Ya!, Treasure of the Four Crowns, Get Mean and two Mark Gregory movies, Just a Damn Solder and Tan Zan Ultimate Mission. In fact, he also made a Django movie, Django, Prepare a Coffin, which originally was going to star Nero and ended up having Terence Hill play the lead. Baldi wrote the story for this with the script written by Django writer Franco Rossetti. It's not the best western. It's not even the best Franco Nero western. But at least there's a great bar room brawl. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a pretty pedestrian Western. Plays more like a classic American Western, than the spaghetti Western it's sold as. It pales as a follow-up to Django, but there's some fun to be had. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Franco Nero plays a Texas sheriff who travels into Mexico with his inexperienced younger brother to find the man who murdered their father, and while it's a passable watch, I think I ultimately found it a bit over plotted as far as what I was looking for in a simple revenge-type story. Worth a rental. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Spaghetti for ever!!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'll take care of punishment around here Burt Sullivan resigns from his job as a local Texas sheriff and takes his kid brother to Mexico in search of the man that killed his father, Cisco. Once in Mexico, Burt discovers that Cisco is the ruthless landowner of a small Mexican town and he terrorizes the local residence. Burt and his brother will need to convince the townspeople to stand with them against the ruthless Cisco. "Are you tired of living?" "Yes. Under these conditions, who wouldn't be?" Ferdinando Baldi, director of Long Lasting Days, Get Mean, Crazy Westerners, Blind Man, and Massacre in the Black Forest, delivers Adios Texas. The storyline for this picture is similar to most pictures within the western genre and reminded me of a serious version of the Three Amigos. The storyline was fairly good and the action scenes were entertaining. The cast delivers adequate performances and includes Franco Nero, Luigi Pistilli, Gino Pernice, and Elisa Montes. "I'm afraid, stranger, some dirty vermin stole your horses." This movie came as part of a Spaghetti Western trilogy I recently obtained (it came with the Nero Django pictures). I will say there were some surprises and tragic deaths in this movie, but as a whole, it was only average and delivered minimal unique sequences and sub plots. This is worth watching for fans of the genre. "Next time, mind your own business."
