(1971) Dead Men Ride/ Anda muchacho, spara!/ El sol baja la tierra
(In Spanish with English subtitles)
SPAGHETTI WESTERN
Co-written and directed by Aldo Florio that has a young convict (Fabio Testi) escaping from a prison compound until an impoverished gold miner, Joselito (José Calvo) decides to help and and heal his wounds in his little shack. Jose then names him "muchacho" because he has no identity as he realizes he with a group of slave miners, mining for their boss named Redfield (Eduardo Fajardo) with hired thugs to keep them at bay, so that they do not take their gold dust some place else. Jose manages to hide his gold dust in a secret hideout inside his shack, and decides to hand it to Muchacho so that he can buy the provisions he needs that also includes a gun and a horse. By the time Muchacho comes into town, he searches for a barber named Manolo (Luciano Pigozzi). And at first, Manolo does not recognize him, but as soon as he mentions the name "Emiliano". Manolo begins to freak out and tries to gun Muchacho while he was sitting on the barber's chair with a shot gun hidden behind the bar, except that because of the mirror, Muchacho manages to shoot him down first. One of the goons that was also in the 'bed and bath' leaves to tell his boss Redfield about this. And the next thing we know, Muchacho is gunning more gunmen who work for Redfield whenever he mutters the name "Emilliano". And it is not until the very end viewers will understand why.
Out of the entire movie, there is only one interesting gun moment and that is the very first person Muchacho had killed which he manages to shoot and kill someone from behind while sitting on the barber's chair. The other scenarios, is nothing original or unique we have not seen from other westerns or Spaghetti Westerns for that matter. If i were to see this movie dubbed, my rating might have been lower.
