The Fall Guy hundred coffins (Original title: Una pistola per cento bare ) is a spaghetti western from the heyday of the genre, 1968. Umberto Lenzi directed the Italian-Spanish co-production, which was shown on 23 November 1989 at the private television for the first time in German.
action
Jim Slade is a soldier but also a Jehovah's Witness and therefore refuses to use weapons. He is then sentenced to two years of forced labor. When he returns to his hometown of Tucson after his pardon and dishonorable discharge, he finds his parents murdered. From his friend Cassidy he learns the identity of the four guilty bandits: Jeff Logan, the Butcher brothers and the Texan Corbett. Jim quickly learns the use of weapons and goes on the hunt for the criminals. From Corbett he learns that Slade has moved to Gulberstone, where he works with the lay preacher Douglas.
Corbett himself is preparing a raid on the town's bank, which is expecting monthly payments, and has therefore occupied all the failure routes; Slade can still get out of the place and organize the fight against the bandits, during which some inmates break out due to a fire disaster in a nearby madhouse and now bring further harm to the city. The Texan, who is the only one of the gang to survive, reveals to Slade that the previously unsuspecting Douglas is the financier behind the gangsters. Jim can put the fake priest in a cemetery, where one of the madmen has holed up, and defeat him in a duel.
criticism
According to the lexicon of international films , the film is an “unbelievable, violent spaghetti western pattern F” . “This is a very conventional western,” said the critic in “Il Resto del Carlino” and added: “Lenzi staged it briskly.” Christian Keßler also comments restrictively: “That Lenzi had no particular flair for westerns , you can tell from the arbitrariness of the characterizations, which make the figures appear not only two-dimensional, but highly unbelievable. "
Remarks
At 90 million lire in Italy, the box-office result was well below the sums of such spaghetti westerns customary at the time.
