Mill Creek Entertainment has added the DVD release of 4
Vengeful Western Films to its Mar. 1 release calendar.
Priced at just $9.98, this classic collection of Spaghetti Westerns
kicks off with director Jaime Jesús Balcázar’s 1966 tale of betrayal and revenge,
4
Dollars of Revenge.
Robert Wood (Battle of the Bulge, Pray to God and Dig
Your Grave, The Lustful Amazons, etc.) stars as Capt. Dexter, a Union
army captain with political ambitions whose last assignment is to deliver a
stash of Confederate gold to the U.S. Treasury. But it’s a set up, his men are slaughtered,
the gold is stolen and he is charged, found guilty and sentenced to prison for
life for masterminding the heist.
Not so fast, Capt. Dexter has other ideas, makes good his
escape from prison and rides out for revenge … no mercy for those who set him
up!
3 Dollars of Lead (aka: Damned Pistols of Dallas) is a 1964
gem from filmmaker José María Zabalza (Rebels of Arizona, Bullets Over Dallas,
etc.). Clay Stone (Fred Beir — The
Organization, Fort Courageous, etc.) is just minding his own business
as a stage coach passenger when “Fast Draw” (Ángel Álvarez) and his gang rob
him and his fellow passengers, including the lovely Katy Dior (Evi Marandi). That was a big mistake, you don’t rob a gunslinger! He hunts down the gang … one by one!
Next up is 7 Dollars to Kill (aka: Seven
Dollars on the Red) from director Alberto Cardone and starring Anthony
Steffen (Viva! Django, Sabata the Killer, Arizona Colt Returns … and
many more) as the survivor of a bloody massacre, who goes in search of his son
and the ruthless El Cachal (Fernando Sancho)!
And last, but not least, Mill Creek Entertainment rounds out
the 4
Vengeful Western Films collection with director Luigi Batzella’s 1971
film, Paid in Blood, starring Jeff Cameron (Pray to God and Dig Your Grave,
Four
Came to Kill Sartana, God Is My Colt .45, etc.) sets out
for revenge when his brother is robbed and murdered while withdrawing money
from the local bank to pay for a big wedding.
Suspicion quickly falls on the cheap dancehall girl, Cora (played by the
legendary Krista Nell), who was Jeff’s brother’s bride-to-be. Is she behind the plan, or is she just a
patsy? Our hero has to sort this out …
who does he trust, who does he kill!
