Sergio Corbucci came to lead the mythical " Django" (1966), so much was expected of this film. Without reaching that level, this "Joe the relentless " is a more than acceptable movie in addition to portraying the usual revenge, deal with other issues like the importance of money, than people, as is apparent in the different attitudes of the petty people place.

As usual in the filmmaker, violence occupies a preeminent place in the plot. And from the start puts the cards on the table. Titrated in the first scene we see how Duncan appears in front of a beautiful India, which puts a smile. He responded by firing at close range and then rips the hair roots. A sequence is absolutely brutal.

For the role of Joe was thought Marlon Brando, but their economic claims far outweighed the budget that the producers had thought. So she hired a young American actor of television who had participated in a western, as the television show "Gunsmoke ." The late Dino de Laurentiis was hired for four films. A few years later, Burt Reynolds and was one of the most powerful actors in Hollywood.

Reynolds went to the filming of " Django" and seeing all that violence Corbucci asked what this meant. The director Roman replied that that was the western the Italian, consisting of exaggerations. He also suggested the actor if his character's relationship with Estella Joe, Young India which looks with favor, it could be stress, it was given virtually no importance. Corbucci replied that the difference between American and Italian westerns was the second eliminated all elements that hindered the smooth running of the argument, so the love scenes did not fit into the film.

And that's what this film: pure action, made with a very good job and a wonderful use of Techniscope.

Reynolds's performance is more than convincing, but had to withstand a wig in their own words, made him look like Natalie Wood.

front of him, the evil Duncan is played by our Aldo Sambrell, actor of great presence but rather understated, as usual, for the English critics, who only remembers these professionals when they die. Interestingly, Reynolds and coincide Sambrell three years later in another western, "100 rifles " (Tom Gries, 1969).
Among the cast are also acting as a pastor Fernando Rey and the gorgeous Nicoletta Machiavelli playing an Indian.

worth mentioning the soundtrack of the movie. In the credits we learn that this is the work of Leo Nichols, but this is simply one of the pseudonyms that the great Ennio Morricone used to avoid saturating the market. Music composed by an eerie voice-overs to create a kind of complex cacophony that freezes your blood every time it rings. These voices are those of I Cantori Moderni, Alessandro Alessandroni, while the female voice heard in the calmer moments belong to the singer Gianna Spagnolo.

The film was shot in different locations such as taverns, Colmenar Viejo, Almeria, Guadix and Torremocha. In Rome, the interiors were shot. All these areas come to unity through the great photograph of Silvano Ippoliti.
Did you know ...?
Quentin Tarantino used the great theme of the film for "K ill Bill: Volume 2 " (2004).
Until they signed the contract, Burt Reynolds believed that the person who had to address was the same Sergio that he had discovered to Clint Eastwood. Thankfully not backed down after learning that it was not Leone.
The assistant directors were Roger " Cannibal Holocaust" and Mario Berriatúa Deodato, father of actor Zoe Berriatúa.
