Some things I liked some I did not.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

A bounty hunter seeks revenge on some thugs who have wronged against his family; these criminals also double up as gun runners.His Name is King is such a forgettable spaghetti western that I struggled to actually pay full attention to it. Like many in the sub-genre it has a thoroughly routine plot-line with nothing that really stood out for me. The top-billed actor was Klaus Kinski who plays a good guy who turns out to actually be bad. He's not in it much though and the picture is really led by the pretty forgettable Richard Harrison. Proceedings could definitely have benefited from more Kinski that's for sure, as he tended to put in interesting performances even when you just know he couldn't really be bothered. On the whole, not a bad film as such, just very pedestrian.

After his brother is murdered and sister-in-law raped on their wedding day by sadistic cutthroats, bounty hunter/lawman Richard Harrison seeks revenge. He soon finds out that things aren't always what they seem though.Uninspired writing and directing, along with a terminally low budget, sinks this before it even really gets started, making it not worth recommending, except for maybe the hardest of the hardcore spaghetti western buffs. A miscast Klaus Kinski is for the most part wasted.Being fairly non-offensive and very short, this seems almost like a cheap, 1970's TV movie.

His Name was King (1971) This movie with a great title but lacked an overall deliverance to the audience. Richard Harrison and Klaus Kinski were very good acting wise even though the latter was only 5 minutes of acting, which I clocked it at.Harrison who plays John "King" Marley who's brother was murdered and his wife Carol was beaten and raped. Of course King is looking on revenge and the culprits are the Benson Gang who is secretly lead by King's friend Sheriff Foster(Kinski)who are running guns illegally. Well King wipes out the Benson gang and has a great showdown with ex-friend Sheriff Foster. The soundtrack in the movie was very weak shocking from the great Luis Bacalov. Soundtracks for Spaghetti Westerns are a key in sometimes saving face especially if the story is dull or the acting is bad. I do however recommend the movie for Kinski fans!

Mish mash of a western from Italy.King is a bountyhunter after a vicious gang of brothers who are selling gatling guns to Mexicans.Boring, uneven, uninspired and unimaginative run of the mill spaghetti western. Only scenes that work are the ones where Klaus Kinski appears on screen, which is alltogether about 10 minutes anyway.Best missed.Released on video in Finland in the early eighties.
