LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
sandcrab277 I;m not a fan of spaghetti westerns...the italians have no more idea about making westerns than they do real italian food which means the only thing they are good at is cooking books...the plot is okay, bad guy steals from the good which yields the revenge motive...the cast of thousands reminds us of all things roman...beware the ides, cesare...this film is complete junk...the gun was a six shooter not an unending array of bullets...nausea plus
Leofwine_draca DEATH WALKS IN LAREDO is a bizarrely-plotted spaghetti western shot in Algeria. The story has a lightness of touch to it which is reminiscent of the 'three fantastic supermen' films that came to dominate Italian cinema in the late 1960s. The heroes are three 'brothers', one of whom is a French hypnotist, the next your stock gunslinger, and the third a Japanese karate fighter. The latter character is played by a youthful James Shigeta, best known as Mr. Takagi in DIE HARD. The brothers go up against a crazed villain who models himself on Julius Caesar and who has built himself a palace in the desert - it's that kind of movie. There's little here you haven't seen before, and it's a bit of a chore at times, but generally this is acceptable fare.
unbrokenmetal "3 Pistole Contro Cesare" ("Death Walks in Laredo") tells the story of three brothers, Selby (Thomas Hunter), Kato (James Shigeta) and Deveraux (Nadir Moretti) who inherit a gold mine. The land is, however, claimed by a man called Julius Cesar Fuller (Enrico Maria Salerno), and his right hand man Bronson (Umberto D'Orsi) ensures with 30 gun-men that no trespassers disturb Cesar during his many baths and literature readings. The three brothers meet their long lost sister and then have a disagreement whether they should just go away and live happily elsewhere or challenge the would-be emperor?During the first 12 minutes of this movie, the hero Selby shoots 12 guys, which sets an impressive body count. He has got a special gun with 4 barrels, so he can shoot more guys simultaneously, yet only if they line up properly. 'Cesar' Fuller had his ranch turned into a Roman bath with plenty of 'slaves', listening to the life story of Julius Caesar for inspiration. You have never seen a villain like this in any other western - promised. Nobody involved seems to take it seriously for a minute, neither will you, but it is a lot of fun! During the hey-days of Italian westerns, the production company Dino De Laurentiis Cinematografica showed remarkably little interest, producing hardly any movies of this genre. "Un Fiume Di Dollari" ("The Hills Run Red") by Carlo Lizzani, also starring Thomas Hunter, and "Navajo Joe" by Sergio Corbucci with Burt Reynolds deserve mentioning. "3 Pistole Contro Cesare" includes none of the usual stars of the genre and was, best to my knowledge, the only Italian western shot in Algeria, so you don't get the familiar Spanish supporting cast, either. This really is different from the usual run of the mill, loves going over the top with his bizarre villain, and it is definitely worth watching if you enjoy off-beat productions.
MoonDawg-3 The bad guy is named Julius Caesar Fuller, wears togas, stocks his palace bath with concubines, and commands dozens of henchmen clad in black. A lost episode of the Batman TV show? No, a bizarre spaghetti western. One of our three heroes is American, carries an array of trick guns, and never misses a shot. The second is Japanese and practices kung fu. The third is French and has magical magnetic powers. The three discover soon that they are half-brothers. If you're a spaghetti western completist, it's good for a hoot. Otherwise, you probably shouldn't bother.
