The Return of Sabata (1971) Reviews

The Return of Sabata (1971)
Member Rating:  
In this spaghetti western, a quick-drawing, hard-riding granite faced, steel-eyed ex-Confederate soldier (Lee VanCleef) rides into a Texas town with the small travelling circus he works for as a stunt rider and bumps into a man who owes him $5,000. Wanting the money back, the vet decides to stay in town and it isn't long before he ends up embroiled in corruption and double-crosses as he fights to simultaneously save the townsfolk from the greedy, corrupt politician who runs the town and forces the residents to pay cripplingly high taxes and steal the crook's fortune. This is the third Sabata film and the second time VanCleef essayed the character. In the second film Adios Sabata, the title character was played by Yul Brynner. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Marc L.

The great, late Lee Van Cleef must have done this one for the paycheck alone because this film is no prize by any measure. If you're expecting a film like the classic, "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" -- this ain't it! The script couldn't decide if it was an action western or a comedy with an old west theme. Neither worked. Poor script that made no sense or gave any depth to the characters. Terrible dubbing and the main theme (song) of the film is so bad that it is a challenge to listen to. My advice, stay with Leone and avoid Kramer. 'The Return of Sabata' never arrives. My Grade: F Marc L. Seattle, WA
