In the Old West, a tween sees his mother raped, both parents murdered and his sister abducted. He tries to free her and get the gang of Mexicans who did it.
This sort of racialized violence seems to be more pronounced in Israeli movies. Look at another Golan-Globus production, Lone Wolf McQuade where Mexicans were apparently stand-ins for Palestinians. We were supposed to rejoice at Chuck Norris’s brutality in that movie.
And here’s a warning---they kill a rabbit and a cow on screen. You’d think that that---and the rape and the murders of course---would be a problem in a movie that I would imagine appealed largely to tween girls. It was rated R, but I don’t know how many Clint Eastwood or John Wayne fans would flock to a Leif Garrett movie.
Lee Van Cleef looks like a hippie. With Jim Brown.
I guess it’s a good idea. You know how they used to have John Carradine appear briefly in low budget horror movies so they’d have a recognizable name to put on the poster? You could probably get a child star even cheaper.
Filmed around the same time as God's Gun.
Free on Tubi and some other streaming channels.
