The story Margelatu, a modern Robin Hood with the flair of a Spaghetti Western hero, who fights against the injustice of corrupted politicians ruling Romania in the 1800s, continues with this second movie.
About
This is the second in a series of three Romanian films about the adventures of hero Margelatu, played by popular actor Florin Piersic. The other two films are Drumul oaselor (1981) and Misterele Bucureștilor (1983). These films were quite obviously tailored after the Spaghetti Western, with Florin Piersic coming across like a Romanian version of Franco Nero, lots of hats, horses, action and gunfights. The music includes some cool electric guitars and the camera is quite zoom-happy.
