Criticism

"What is particularly striking about the film is the perfect camera work by Aristide Massaccesi; the relatively reclined casual music of Gianni Ferrio underlines the casual adventure of the two heroes to the point. Very entertaining spaghetti western spoof with a great buddy team. "

" One of those successful genre parodies, which is precisely why work because they are not constrained to describe a dull succession of gags and ULKS, but the Parodisierung enriched with serious elements. There are numerous successful individual sequences (in this ) modest, but after much looking film, which maintains very good and has to offer a truly nachfühlbare action. "

" Boring spaghetti westerns without own profile. "
