Ace High
Giuseppe Colizzi
Eli Wallach holds the winning hand in this rambunctious spaghetti western about honor (and double dealing) among thieves. Western action adventure in the best Italian tradition, Ace High was shot in Mexico, Spain and Rome. Eli Wallach takes $300,000 from two hombres of questionable moral fiber, then proceeds to spread the cash around generously. His victims follow his trail, but when the men finally do meet, they must join forces for defense against a murderous desperado. Before that battle is over, Wallach has absconded once again with the cash. And the chase is on, leading them, ultimately, to a crooked Mississippi gaming house, a wonderful gun battle, and lots of money for everyone. Also starring Kevin McCarthy and Terence Hill (playing a character named Cat Stevens). In English and French, with English subtitles. Italy, 1968, 120 mins.

A Bullet for the General
Damiano Damiani
Gian Maria Volonte (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More) stars with Klaus Kinski (also a ...Dollars More veteran) in a violent film set at the height of the Mexican Revolution. A mysterious young American joins up with a band of marauders, but what are his real motives? This spaghetti western is a favorite of director Alex Cox (Repo Man, Sid and Nancy), who described it as "...a mad, fast, energetic film with a great script...it's the best film I've seen set in that period." Dubbed in English. Italy, 1967, 118 mins.

Companeros
Sergio Corbucci
Jack Palance, Fernando Rey, Franco Nero and Tomas Milian star in this politically-minded "spaghetti western." A mercenary helps a revolutionary to rescue a pacifist professor and his followers. Palance is great as a wooden-handed killer who lost his hand when he was nailed to a cross--his pet hawk ate it off to save him. From the director of Django, with music by the legendary Ennio Morricone. This edition uses English-dubbed scenes, as well as some in Italian with English subtitles, to present the first complete and uncut video release of this film. DVD includes interviews with Franco Nero, Thomas Milian and Ennio Morricone; theatrical trailer and more. Italy/Spain/Germany, 1970, 120 mins.

Django
Sergio Corbucci
About the same time Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood were making the "Spaghetti Western" famous with A Fistful of Dollars, director Sergio Corbucci unveiled this even more over-the-top example of the genre. Franco Nero stars as the title character, a mysterious stranger who travels with a coffin in tow. Caught in the crossfire between bandits and sadistic vigilantes, he makes his own kind of order out of the chaos. With its heavily stylized and extreme violence, Django was banned in several countries, but it became a huge hit in many others, leading to over 50 unofficial sequels and copycats. Two-DVD set, newly restored and remastered, letterboxed, 16x9 widescreen. English and Italian language selections with optional English subtitles, and includes interview with Franco Nero, and Ruggero Deodata, theatrical trailer, posters and stills gallery, talent bios, and The Last Pistolero (Alessandro Dominici, 2002, Italy, 8 mins.), a new short western featuring Franco Nero. Dubbed in English. Italy/Spain, 1966, 90 mins.

Django, Kill...If You Live, Shoot!
Giulio Questi
The awkward translated title is just one of the strange elements in this memorable western/horror hybrid. A bandit, who may be dead or alive, crawls out of his grave and seeks revenge against the men who betrayed him. His mission takes him to a depraved town where violence and torture rule the day. "...one of the most violent westerns made. Director Giulio Questi gives the film a haunting, surreal veneer" (Adam Groves, The Cutting Edge). Despite the title, this has no real connection to 1966's Django. Letterboxed, 16x9 widescreen, English and Italian language selections with optional English subtitles, includes interviews with Giulio Questi and stars Tomas Milian and Ray Lovelock, theatrical trailer, and a posters and stills gallery. Italy/Spain, 1967, 117 mins.

A Fistful of Dollars

Four of the Apocalypse
Lucio Fulci
The "Godfather of Gore," Lucio Fulci (The Beyond), turned to the spaghetti western with spectacular results with this dark, violent feature. Four strangers find that their luck has turned from bad to worse when they meet a sadistic bandit. Severely cut for its American theatrical run, Four of the Apocalypse is presented uncut in this video release. Fabio Testi, Michael J. Pollard, Lynne Frederick and Tomas Milian star. Includes Fulci of the Apocalypse behind-the-scenes segment and theatrical trailer. The film is dubbed in English, except for the restored footage from the Italian release (never dubbed in English), which is presented in Italian with English subtitles. Italy, 1975, 104 mins.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Sergio Leone
The third and best Sergio Leone "Dollars" Western. Set during the Civil War, three men out on the skids search for a treasure chest of the Confederates, each knowing a little about its whereabouts. A great musical score by Ennio Morricone. With Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef. A brilliant spaghetti Western and Leone at his best.

The Great Silence
Sergio Corbucci
The man who gave us Django presented a more political slant on the spaghetti western with this bleak and violent feature. Klaus Kinski stars as the leader of a sadistic band of bounty hunters pursuing some righteous outlaws who are fighting the corrupt town officials. Jean-Louis Trintignant is the mute gunslinger known as Silence who stands between the rebels and the bounty hunters. While meeting all the action demands of the genre, the film manages to make a brutally honest statement on class warfare. Music by Ennio Morricone. Includes a video introduction and liner notes by Alex Cox (Repo Man, Sid and Nancy); an alternate "happy ending" with optional commentary by Cox; and the theatrical trailer. Dubbed in English. Italy/France, 1968, 105 mins.

Enzo G. Castellari
Fans of the genre consider this to rank with the best of the "spaghetti westerns."

Builds to a relentlessly violent climax. Woody Strode co-stars.

My Name is Nobody
Tonino Valerii
Terence Hill and Henry Fonda are perfect foils for one another in this revisionist western buddy movie by Tonino Valerii.
