Blu-ray Review Ace High – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

After The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) reached American cinemas at the end of 1967, the Spaghetti Western was nearing its apex and the success of Leone’s films ushered in a new formula for the western genre as a whole. Paramount Pictures decided to try to ride the wave of this success, first by getting Leone to direct Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) – which would become a signature film for Leone, Paramount and the subgenre as a whole – and second by taking up a second film in a trilogy by director Giuseppe Colizzi which had Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, Ace High (AKA The Four of the Hail Mary). Previously released on DVD by Paramount, Kino has licensed the movie for its Blu-ray debut.

Nice review Mychal, I watched this last night and I agree with your thoughts on the film. If you are a fan of these types of films I recommend Ace High.

Agreed, it was a spaghetti fest, crossing over the classic "My Name is Trinity" (Bud Spencer, Terence Hill) series with one of the best character actors of all time Eli Wallich (TGBTU, Lord Jim and Samurai) in the mix!!
I'm so glad that thay handeled the film well and the end results...definatly worth the pickup.
