Killer Kid/Opinions

This is a above average western and personally the most likely Steffen role I've seen in this genre (which doesn't mean he acts good), although I don't really like him. Actually this should be a mid-rate flick a twist in the middle makes it quite better. Dedicated to the revolution and its victims this shows how cruel the governmental troups really were. The end come quickly and you cannot see the intention by Morrisson/Killer Kid to stay with the rebells, but I learned not to notice logical mistakes in spaghetti western. The music is ok, nothing special but it fits. Again it is the best way to watch the movie in italian with german/english subtitles, because the german dubbing is far from the original in some parts of the movie. --Lode 05:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Viewed as a Zapata weCaptain Morrison crosses the border into Mexico disguised as the famous Killer Kid to disable the gun running for the revolutionary forces. As he falls in love with the daughter of the wise guerilla leader, El Santo, and understands the ideals that guide the rebels in their fight against the cruelty and corruption of the government's men, he undergoes conflict with his mission to destroy the arms.stern this is a minor entry which only pays lip service towards its revolution set subject. Obviously there wasn't much thought spent about our hero sympathising with the revolution and at the same time sabotaging it, so that the story and the content do not work smoothly together. But it's anyway mainly an action vehicle, which works quite well on a moderate level with director Savona getting the best out of the cheap sandpit locations. And for once Anthony Steffen gives a convincing lead (he wears a bigger hat this time than usual) and contrasts nicely with Fernando Sancho (even if he only hams it up in a difficult role) and Ken Wood, who is well cast as a brutish army officer. // by Stanton
