Somewhere in the old West, the famous Sheriff Edward Gideon, better known as Blackjack (Eli Wallach) is taking the sheriff’s pay to town when he is stopped by the wiley bandit known as Swiss (Giuliano Gemma) who takes his money. On the run, Swiss hides on a train where he finds himself in a wagon with a horse, as well as a Japanese Samurai and his servant Sakura (Tomas Milian).
As Swiss hides, the horse eats all of the money, and he sees Sakura taking the Samurai’s sword to play with. Indians attack the train, killing the unarmed Samurai and stealing the horse which turns out to be a highly valuable creature.
The Japanese government offer to pay the million dollar ransom for the horse, and send Blackjack to deliver it, but Swiss is soon after the money and Sakura wants to save the horse himself…
Sergio Corbucci was one of the Spaghetti West’s big names – evident from him receiving billing alongside the actors on the opening titles, but as the genre declined so did his output.
Except for the well shot final battle scene, the rest of the film shows little flair, and could have been shot by anyone. Composers Guido and Maurizio De Angelis (best known for their distinctive score for Keoma (1976)) provide the music here, and it is fittingly bizarre.
An occasionally enjoyable film, with some slight hints of Corbucci’s talent, but generally uninteresting and not recommended.

A group of white men dressed up as Indians steal a prized Pony from a bumbling Samurai (Tomas Milian) and want a million dollars ransom for its return so the loyal and dedicated Sheriff Black Jack (Eli Wallach) is hired to transport the money, but con man Swiss (Giuliano Gemma)tages along determined to get his hands on the money.
This isnt the usual Sergio Corbucci western, theres not much action and its mainly focused on the comedy. I still however was very amused by certain parts of the film (the best been a fight between Gemma and Millian, I was in stiches). The only problem I had with the film was that at times I couldnt understand what Milian was saying due to the mumbling accent he puts on.
Guido & Maurizio De Angelis are the composers and its a typical soundrack you could expect from them, with a poor theme song but it does have the odd catchy tune which I didnt mind.
If you don’t expect much like I did then you could actually be amused.
DVD Quality: Very good, English Audio but no Subtitles,
Extras: Theres a few interviews but all in Italian with no Subtitles
