action
The American Whitey, the French Étienne and the Japanese Lester each receive a piece of map as the heir to a gold mine and a child's photo. When they arrive at the mine, they initially mistake each other for gangsters; it turns out, however, that they are half-siblings and the sons of the late Langdon, the former owner of the mine and the land around it, but now controlled by the eccentric Fuller, who lives on his property like a Roman emperor and himself Julius Caesar is called. After the three young men in the saloon girl Mady have recognized their sister, they face the fight against the blind and prepotent, toga-wearing and a coliseum-entertaining Fuller and his devoted villain Bronson. They use their respective skills: Whitey is a weapons specialist and pugilist, Lester is a martial arts expert and Étienne is equipped with mental capabilities.
Whitey, who tries his luck first, is captured and tortured, but is freed by his half-brothers; together they can finally overcome Julius Caesar Fuller. In the mine they find no gold at all and take the only item that was left there with them: Langdon's old brass bed. The brass turns out to be the gold.
criticism
"With this original film, director Enzo Peri managed the feat of combining the classic elements of the Italian western with a range of innovative, new elements such as exotic landscapes and unusual characters."
- The film service considered Three Pistols Against Cesare "not an important film, but one that does not deceive viewers of their pleasure."
- Vice described the film in Il reste di Carlino as "a new genre: Spaghetti Western grotesque drama using new scenarios."
- The Protestant film observer doesn't think much of the film: “Weird spaghetti westerns about three brothers who are avenging their father who was murdered by a rich rancher named Caesar. Many dead and little sense. "
Remarks
The film was shot in North Africa.
