You're a big son of a...") is a 1970 Italian Spaghetti Western film directed by Gianfranco Parolini. It is the second film in The Sabata Trilogy by Parolini.

Plot

Set in Mexico under the rule of Emperor Maximilian I, Sabata is hired by the guerrilla leader Señor Ocaño to steal a wagonload of gold from the Austrian army. However, when Sabata and his partners Escudo and Ballantine obtain the wagon, they find it is not full of gold but of sand, and that the gold was taken by Austrian Colonel Skimmel. So Sabata plans to steal back the gold.

Reception

[edit]

Tom Milne of the Monthly Film Bulletin reviewed a dubbed version of the film in 1973.[5] Milne found that "the rather routine proceedings are enlivened from time to time by ingeniously macabre details like the model ship firing from all guns with which Skimmel executes informers, or the "flamenco of death" (spurs glittering ominously on drumming heels) with which Gitano announced the end of enemies of the revolution."[5] Milne commented on "it is a pity that so much of the action is clogged up by that old stand-by of the Italian Western-extras falling off roofs in graceful death-falls. This time the supply of cannon-fodder destined for identical deaths is apparently inexhaustible."[5]
