If anyone else had done this movie, it would be savaged for its low quality.I don't know what this movie was supposed to be.The apparent possibilities are: 1. spaghetti western, 2. black exploitation film, 3. overblown gore fest, 4. knockoff of heaven only knows how many other movies.In the end it was some of all. But the acting, except for the good Dr. Schultz, is miserable. Everyone is a caricature.If I was black, I'd be offended. Fox doesn't act, he glowers. The settings are all wrong....I mean snow-capped peaks in the South? The firearms are not period correct.You can even see the Italian proof marks on them. No effort was made to put together anything other than a 3 hour endurance test for your bladder.It's cheesy. It's lame. It is predictable. Think of this as a pizza from Chuckee Cheeze.It looks like fun. It has lots of colors. I even looks like it is consumable.But in the end it is just another rotten pizza.
