Zenny's Thoughts on the Spaghetti Western

Mar 10 '01

The Bottom Line Images from my sweaty eyeballs.

Bad dubbing.
Cigars through clenched teeth.
Beads of sweat on ruddy skin.
Full brimmed hats with loose hanging straps.
Winchester rifles over the shoulder.
Bare knuckled-fistfights.
Good guys draw first.
Wait - I forgot - there are no good guys.
The last cigarette before dying.

Italian actors in supporting roles.
Henry Fonda shooting little children. Ha ha.
Italian deserts - vast plains of nothing.

Civil War soldiers covered in dust.
Munching on stew.
Drinking bad water from a fountain.
The hot sun and the inevitable dehydration.
The bitter taste of sand.
Where are all the pretty horses?
Where are all the pretty girls?

Clint Eastwood doesn't mess around.
Lee Van Cleef as a bad-a*s mofo.
Eli Wallach says, duck you sucka!
Two sticks of wet dynamite.

Playing the harmonica before killing many men.
Hanging from a tree.

Killing a man in the graveyard, throwing his body in the hole.

"Blooooonnnnndiiiiiiieeeeeeeee! You son-of-a--" AH-ah-AH-ah-AHHHHHH....
