Macho is then able to convince Iron Head to attack his ex-partner. In the ensuing clash, the two bands end up destroying each other. Iron Head, survives the massacre, but in trying to escape with the gangs accumulated loot he is prevented in doing so by Macho, who completes his mission by killing the bandit leader.

Is this on US/R1 DVD?
ReplyDeleteRobert no. You might find it on e-bay or I-offer on a DVD-R from the old video copy but the DVDs are available from German and Italy only as of now. The German DVD on Best Entertainment is in English and German. It's available through German Amazon.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom. A surprising number of Fidani SWs have come out on either budget or other DVDs in North America in the last year but this is a favorite due to having both Kinski and Gordon in it.
ReplyDeleteRobert - Trash Palace is offering it on DVD-R. I've never purchased from them so I can't vouch for their quality or reliability. It's probably copied from VHS tape.
