Dead Are Countless
Johnny was mentally traumatised when he witnessed as a child the killing of his father (a deserter) by a group of soldiers. As an adult he randomly kills every soldier he gets hold of, so that the army sends out the brutish Lieutenant Garringo to stop Johnny.
Curator's Take
“Also known as 'Showdown for a Badman'. It’s a standard formula film, stranger comes to town, fights bad guys, but executed with enough competency to be entertaining filler.”
Why This Movie Is Important
A reliable, solid genre entry that delivers exactly what it promises: betrayed partners, gold, and shootouts. It stands as a testament to the efficient, entertaining machinery of the Italian film industry that could churn out consistent products for a hungry global market.
