Wizard-8 I sensed that "Fort Yuma Gold" might have a few problems from the opening credits, since SEVEN screenwriters are credited. But I stuck with it to the end, and while this is definitely not the worst spaghetti western I've seen, it is definitely unsatisfying. There are a few good things here and there - the production values are acceptable, there is some nice scenery, there is a very good bar room brawl sequence, and the full name of the lone female character is worth a few chuckles. But for the most part, the movie feels kind of flat. Giuliano Gemma's character often feels like a secondary character instead of a heroic lead. The action apart from that bar room brawl sequence come across as ordinary and not exciting. But I think the biggest problem is that the movie, while not boring, feels really slow and lacking grit or some other effective atmosphere. Too bad, because you can see signs this could have been a knockout spaghetti western had it had more careful direction and writing. It's not awful as it is, but it is definitely disappointing.

MARIO GAUCI An action-packed but unremarkable Spaghetti Western with a Civil War backdrop: it starts off with a confrontation over miserable prison service in the mould of SPARTACUS (1960), features a particularly animated bar-room brawl, and the climax takes place inside an abandoned mine. Lead Giuliano Gemma is in his element, but the villains are comic-book types - and the heroine, though spirited, is monotonous and an absolutely resistible chanteuse! The score is credited to Ennio Morricone and Gianni Ferrio: apparently, the producers borrowed some previously-composed music by the former to justify the use of his name - but he later took them to court over it!!

d_m_maier Here's a very entertaining film: Unusual (for an SW) story-line, not a revenge, but a "savior" story, loads of familiar faces, good and vehement action, solid acting. The sets are nice, the girl's named "Breastfull" - go and see this one.

mkoskela This film might be rarely seen, but who cares? there's nothing to see really, some horses, some lousy action, it's a typical low-budget Italian western, I've seen worser thou. Fans of the genre might wanna see this, but just remember to grab a few beer or something else first.
