Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

cengelm City dweller meats countryside and encounters a lot of trouble. Naturally he has to gain respect and to prove that he's worthy, too. The humor is similar to the one of the Trinity series and is never truly violent. No one will be killed or injured. The film was shot in the beautiful environment of the Plitvice lakes in Croatia and reminded me of the days I spent there.6 / 10.

Tobias Landes This is, except perhaps for Peckinpah's "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid", my favorite movie at all. It's biggest quality is its completeness in almost every respect. Completeness in its themes, in its means, and a glorious cast.It's a film most of all about friendship (I most often think of the scene where monkey, usually the most 'rude' of the protagonists, eagerly grasps the last letter of their dead friend, and then, realizing he can't read at all, is forced to pass the letter to Holy Joe, but in fact the friendship theme is present in the whole movie), about the antagonism of freedom and civilization, about the need and the struggle to find and defend your own position towards everything surrounding you (the 'star' to follow), about how dreams and reality can influence each other (remember the scene of Candida experiencing the man of her dreams riding towards her in a gracious slow motion, while Terence Hill in fact cusses his half-dead horse), about technological progress, it's consequences, and about almost every other theme that has ever been dealt with in 80 years of western history.The movie's means are comedy, satire, drama, buddy movie, a really great musical score by Guido & Maurizio de Angelis, and all style elements of the classical western.The cast is superb, creating at least half a dozen unique characters you can root on; unfortunately with one exception: Yanti Somer's lousy performance as Candida.Another wonderful thing about this movie, is that it doesn't condemn any of its characters; everyone has his place in the film's world and gets his respect by script, direction and cast: the protagonists as well as the whores, the 'villains', the bounty hunters and the jailers. By the way: This quality also characterizes most films by Sam Peckinpah.

rtillman I saw this film back in 1972 in a small town where I lived. It came to the theater as "The Man from the East". I loved it! I walked out of the theater with my gut aching from laughing so much. That was my first experience of seeing Terence Hill. I have been a fan of his ever since. To this day I tell my wife of some of the scenes. I wish it would come out on video so that my wife will not think that I am making things up. It is a film for the whole family and I would be one of the first ones to buy it if it ever came out!

Yonie The Man from the East. My husband and I along with another couple saw this movie when it was originally released at the theater in the 1970's. We have never forgotten it. We all thought it was extremely hilarious! We have been trying to find in on video for the last 10 years because we thought it was one of Terence Hill's best, and we are big fans of his. We hope it will be released soon on video.
