Synopsis

In this tribute to the old time spaghetti westerns with a liberal dose of modern Hong Kong film-making thrown in, Emilio Estevez assumes Clint Eastwood's "man with no name" role. Estevez plays a super-quick gunman on the run from a rancher (Long) and his men out to kill him for killing his son. The gunman gets mixed up with a former Confederate soldier (William Forsythe) who has knowledge of hidden gold. The only trouble is he is also pursued by Union soldiers. When they free a man (Ed Lauter) with part of the map to the gold, they then are also pursued by Spanish soldiers. It all leads to a small Mexican town terrorized by soldiers and led a by a good priest (Joaquim De Almeida) who also has knowledge of the gold.

arty-jacobs I just got the DVD I love this Movie Every since I seen it on TV took for ever to find it on DVD for USA. It funny how his gun never need to be reloaded but two to three times. there are a few great one liners in this movie.If you think Clint Eastwood did some far out shooting wait till you see this he kills more men in one shoot out then Clint would do in one movie.Emilio Estevez is a one man army he has handguns that seem to appear out of no were If you like Spaghetti Westerns your sure to love this one. It is filled with comedy as well as lighting fast gun play As they search for all the section of the map to the cash of confederate gold The movie could use a few more twist and turns but it great just the way it is I have watch it three times this week to me it is Awesome.Also buy the way I found the DVD on amazon.com.
JGDullaart In the annals of film making it's often said that Ed Woods' `Gwen or Gwenda' is the worst picture ever made. Well, it isn't. `Dollar for the Dead' is twice as bad. It has no story en no actors. It's a sequence of stereotyped phrases, stolen from other westerns. Even the music. See it if your are in a good mood and have a good laugh when Emilio Estevez kills his ennemies by the dozens, even lying on his back shooting backwards. I've never seen anything worse than this abominable picture. Enjoy it! (But better avoid it). Hans Dullaart Delft Netherlands.
wotanet Hi, if you remember the "Spaghetti Westerns" of Sergio Leone you gonna feel the same thing about this movie, a hybrid of A Few Dollars More and Face Off (from John Woo). Slow action, without good characters. Good for a retire men's matinee.
MrJ-4 I would have to say that this is the best Western, I have ever seen. It reminds you of the old Clint Eastwood movies, the stranger without a name. The only thing I seen wrong was the fact that the stranger never seemed to run out of bullets. But it is still a ten.
