A low-budget science fiction flick with a cast of unknowns: just what you want to watch on a rainy afternoon. Reactor centers around-what else?-a highly combustible nuclear reactor. And also space aliens. And also a kidnapped scientist. "If this should ever fall into the wrong hands...." There are right hands? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Don't look for Moe, Larry and Curly (nor even Shemp or Joe Besser) in The Italian-Chinese The Three Stooges vs. the Wonder Woman. The terrible trio in this film is played by Yueh Hua, Nick Jordan and Mark Hannibal. These "stooges" are slapstick-prone warriors who do battle against an Amazonian high priestess (May May Wong) and her buxom followers. Not only is the title misleading, but so are the production credits: the "Al Bradley" listed as director is really Alfonso Brescia. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
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

Spaghetti Western fans used to the likes of Django and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly might be taken by surprise when watching Sabata. True, the film does star spaghetti Western star Lee Van Cleef as the tight-lipped hero of the title, but it has a very different feel from the genre's traditional, Sergio Leone-derived style. Director/co-writer Gianfranco Parolini (alias Frank Kramer) takes things in a direction that seems to fall halfway between The Wild Wild West TV series and a James Bond movie; the film is packed with colorful characters, exotic weapons, and the action scenes that mix wild stunts with pyrotechnics. Parolini appropriately gives the film a light touch, playing up the colorful and humorous aspects while delivering the action. The end result is a little too long for this sort of light material, causing it to drag a bit in the middle, but it is too good-natured and entertaining to dislike. In short, Sabata is likely to make fun viewing for Euro-cult fans and anyone interested in an offbeat Western. ~ Donald Guarisco, Rovi
