The 5-Man Army 06/06/26

Spaghetti westerns were the rage in 1969, as long as the action was constant and the body count high. An Italo producer made a lucrative deal with MGM for a ‘Dirty Dozen western’ with the name star Peter Graves. International success was guaranteed with the casting of Japanese star Tetsuro Tanba. Dario Argento’s story is generic, but the resulting film does have some decent action, a music score by Ennio Morricone, and the welcome presence of Bud Spencer, an actor so popular, he was billed first in some European countries. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
