more Spaghetti shitkickers and Poliziottesco.

Wednesday commenced and concluded with just one flick, an odd one, a parody of Spaghetti Westerns that started filming before any other Spaghetti Western and is a cartoon. “West and Soda” (1965).

Excellent film with some nice touches, got story right about a land grab, liked the booze hound being an actual hound.

A greedy villain tries to coerce a woman into marrying him so he can take over her land, when a stranger rides into town intent on taking down the bad guys. IMDb

There was vengeance on Thursday, a staple of the Spaghetti Western as Hud Backer was taking “For One Thousand Dollars Per Day” (1966).

A man trains himself to become the best shot in the West in order to get rid of a gang of killers in his home town who murdered his parents. IMDb

Thursday concluded with Tomas Milian in “Emergency Squad” (1974). Millian went with the straight hair for his police role here, choosing a little Spaghetti Westernish cigar as his acting prop.

A cop is consumed with the desire to get revenge on the crook who shot his wife to death during a robbery. The crook in question is Marseilles who is trying to assemble funds for his own retirement. IMDb

…and it wouldn’t be a poliziottesco without a bottle of J&B Whisky in shot…
