The Stranger's Gundown: With its horror-movie styling and ultra-violent nature, this perfect example of an Euro gothic western garnered an X rating on its initial Italian release. During the Civil War, three Confederate officers, leaders of a Confederate regiment, sell out to the Yankees, kill the sentries and allow the enemy troops to slaughter their whole company. One of their men, however, does not die... Left for dead, the Stranger (Anthony Steffen, Italy s answer to Clint Eastwood!) lies unconscious on the ground, severely wounded. Several years go by and, as though coming back from hell, the Stranger begins hunting down his enemies the men that left him for dead. Is he a ghost, or just a man hell-bent on revenge! 99 min / Color / 2.35:1 / PG / 1974. Today We Kill...Tomorrow We Die!: Bill Kiowa (Montgomery Ford) is released after a five-year prison term for a crime he did not commit. The bandit El Fego (Tatsuya Nakadai), who did the actual crime, also killed Kiowa s young Indian wife. Once free Kiowa raises a gang to go after the man who framed him. An Italian western in the "A Fistful of Dollars" mold with a better than average cast, which includes Bud Spencer in the debut of his heavy-handed character, later made famous in the "Trinity" series and the outstanding Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai, famous for his role in Akira Kurosawa s "Kagemusha". And uncharacteristically written by horror-meister Dario Argento. Digitally re-mastered from a 35mm print with the alternate U.S. title "Today It's Me... Tomorrow You". 95 min / Color / 1.85:1 / PG / 1968. Bonus Features: The Stranger's Gundown: Widescreen Transfer Enhanced for 16x9 monitors, Spaghetti Western Trailers.
