Custom DVD Cover: Vengeance

One of my favourite spaghetti Westerns, this smashing Richard Harrison vehicle is still lacking a DVD release (even though 4Front put it out on VHS here twenty years ago). It was hard getting a good scan of the poster but I managed it and the rest was fairly simple. Quite proud of this one.

Custom DVD Cover: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Rounding out the Dollars trilogy. Only reservation I have with this one is the van Cleef/Wallach billing on the front; that's roughly where it was on the poster but it looks too far down, yet moving it up closer to Eastwood's name looks just as weird.

Much the same thing as A Fistful of Dollars; the plan was to come up with something that worked both as a standalone and next the other parts of the trilogy on the shelf.

Film Review - Adios, Sabata!

Gianfranco Parolini had already had one smash hit in the spaghetti western genre with If You Meet Sartana, Pray for Your Death in 1968, introducing Gianni Garko as the titular gunslinger.
