How can you not love an oater with a title like DEATH RIDES A HORSE?
John Phillip Law (looking as stiff as a 2x4) and Lee Van Cleef power this spaghetti western. You also get Luigi Pistilli (my favorite Italian actor) and Mario Brega back in action. You know whenever you get the two of them together in a film you're in for a good ride.
The plot is a simple revenge tale, but is anchored by a twist ending you'll see coming from a mile away. Still, it doesn't harm the film. This is one my all-time favorite oaters. I absolutely love it. And the score is magnificent.
Easily recommended.

Yeap, a film I've always enjoyed. Have some of the music from this on a soundtrack record.

I've got the theme song on CD. Love it!
And here's to someone finally replying to one of my spaghetti oater posts! It's been lonely in here... heh.

Agreed, Death Rides A Horse is a great SW. Nice soundtrack, Van Cleef in top form, and I think JPL did a decent job. Classic spaghetti.
