Brucey D Bounty hunter John "King" Marley (Harrison) sets out to deal with New Mexico gun runners and bandits. His efforts are redoubled when they murder his brother.This spaghetti western is, on the whole, of pretty average quality. A few things elevate it in places, namely that Harrison stars in a role to which he is well suited (there isn't that much actual acting to do; he appears to be suffering from facial rigor mortis much of the time), Klaus Kinski has a small role, and the theme song is pretty good too.But the dubbing is a bit hit and miss, despite the fact that the film is short anyway they have a few needlessly long scenes and re-used footage, also the 'New Mexico' scenery is a bit lush in some places, yet looks more like a disused quarry in others.In addition the plot and character motivations are not quite clear. Is King's quest primarily motivated by mere money, or by revenge for his parent's (and then his brother's) murder? At what point does the treachery of one of the other characters become evident to him? So worth a watch, this, but best taken in without elevated expectations.

FightingWesterner 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.

steeplejack17 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!

Sorsimus 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.
