Corbucci (DJANGO) team up once again for this excellent spaghetti western. Violent and highly stylized, the film stars Nero as a Swedish mercenary and Tomas Milian as a revolutionary who attempt liberate an imprisoned professor (Rey) who holds the code to a safe containing a small fortune. However, one of Nero's old partners, John (Palance), a psychotic mercenary who has a wooden hand and the disturbing habit of feeding his pet hawk human flesh, throws a wrench into Nero's plans when he turns up with a few ideas of his own about what to do with the money. Featuring a score by Ennio Morricone, an outstanding cast, and a wicked sense of humor, COMPA??EROS stands out as a forgotten classic of the genre.

Sergio Leone's lesser-known colleague Sergio Corbucci was an equal at every level, even stooping a little further down into edgy darkness. His explosive, exciting film Compa?eros (1970, Anchor Bay Entertainment, $19.98) is one of my all-time favorite Westerns, featuring one of composer Ennio Morricone's finest scores. In the film, Swedish arms dealer Franco Nero reluctantly teams up with Mexican revolutionary Tomas Milian to rescue a professor (Fernando Rey) who knows the combination to a safe full of money. Jack Palance plays the marijuana-smoking, one-armed villain who keeps a trained falcon by his side.(See here)
