Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Wuchak Released in 1976-77, "God's Gun" is a Matzo Ball Western about a preacher (Lee Van Cleef) who chases down a band of outlaws (led by Jack Palance) to apprehend a murderer. After the thugs get revenge the preacher's spiritual son (Leif Garrett) teams-up with the one person who can set things aright. Sybil Danning co-stars as a saloon girl and Richard Boone has a minor role.This Hebraic Western is stylized with a Spaghetti flavor, but is badly executed. I could never get a grip on the tone the filmmakers were shooting for. Is it semi-camp? Semi-parody? It's obviously not something to take too seriously, but sometimes the viewer's evidently supposed to. Since you can't take the story seriously it prevents you from caring about the events of the story and thus it's boring.Thankfully, there are some highlights. For one, it was shot in Israel, which is unique for a Western. Secondly, there are a few stunning women, including Sybil Danning when she was around 23 and an uncredited saloon babe named Jessie. Thirdly, it's got Jack Palance and Lee Van Cleef; two Western icons. And, fourthly, Leif Garrett is surprisingly good at around 13 years-old.But the confused tone and relative dullness do it in.The film runs 94 minutes.GRADE: Borderline D+/C- (3.5/10 Stars)

Wizard-8 "God's Gun", along with the following year's "Kid Vengeance" was the last time Lee Van Cleef appeared in the western genre. (The two movies were probably filmed back to back.) In this western, Van Cleef is supported by a once in a lifetime supporting cast, with Sybil Danning, Leif Garrett, Jack Palance, as well as Richard Boone (though Boone's appearances barely make up one solitary minute of the running time.) You might think a western with this cast would be a lot of fun, but for the most part it isn't. Producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus obvious didn't command polishing of the screenplay, since the finished product is filled with questions that aren't answered for a long time (like with Garrett's character becoming mute for a long time), or aren't answered at all (when Van Cleef's preacher character has the drop on the bad guys early on, why is only one of them put in jail? And when Garrett's character flees the area on horseback later, why is he later without a horse?) The biggest problem with the screenplay, however, is that there is a lot of obvious padding. Had the movie been shortened here and there for fifteen to twenty minutes, it would have run a lot smoother. The musical score isn't bad, but you don't watch a movie just for the music. In the end, the movie is strictly for Van Cleef and/or spaghetti western fans, and even they may be annoyed by the movie's shortcomings.

wes-connors Steely-eyed clergyman Lee Van Cleef (as as Father John) lords over the peaceful, law-abiding and Christian town of "Juno City" with open-shirted boy pal Leif Garrett (as Johnny) as his sidekick. The respectable town gets roughed-up when smirking Jack Palance (as Sam Clayton) and his gang of cutthroats stop by for some booze and broads. Handsome brother Robert Lipton (as Jess Clayton) starts a chain reaction of big trouble. Young Garrett takes care of business by very quietly finding Mr. Van Cleef's twin brother in Mexico, to help settle the score. A startling secret involving beautifully-figured Sybil Danning (as Jenny) thickens the plot. "God's Gun" is a misfire, but does have an attractive cast and bawdy quality.**** God's Gun (3/7/75) Gianfranco Parolini ~ Lee Van Cleef, Leif Garrett, Jack Palance, Robert Lipton

alexandre michel liberman (tmwest) This film is not as bad as it seems, considering few people heard about it and it has two titles G-d's Gun and Diamante Lobo, which will mix you up. The story is better than most spaghetti westerns, about a priest (Van Cleef) who is killed. So Van Cleef is the good guy, Jack Palance the bad one and Richard Boone the sheriff who does not want any trouble. Sybil Danning is the saloon girl with a good heart. So besides the story, the actors are good, so what goes wrong? In my opinion, the shootouts which are poorly made trying to make up with the sound and slow motion what it lacks in the technical aspect. It took me a long time to decide to see this film and I could not stop watching it after I started. I ended up liking it.
