5/10
Not a true sequel but a good movie none the less

Warning: Spoilers
This time Sabata helps some Mexican revolutionaries steal gold for their people and take down some corrupt officials in the process. He is helped by a con man named Valentine, even though Valentine isn't exactly trying to help anyone but himself.

First of all this wasn't meant to be a sequel to Sabata - it is called Indio Black: you know what you are a son of a ... It had different characters and was actually a lot different, but they ultimately changed a few things and made it a sequel or at least promoted it as one. Cleef had took on a role in The Magnificent Seven sequel made famous by Bryner and Bryner took on this role made famous by Cleef.

There is a lot of changes here. About the only thing the same is the black clothes, but Bryners suit is way different and his style is different. He does carry the little pistol with bullets in the butt, but he also carries a Winchestor with a nice magazine always with a bullet short for his cigar.

Frank Kramer is back doing his beautiful direction and also with his co-writing partner Renato Izzo. The composer is different and I like it better even though it doesn't sound completely original, it's almost cliché, but I liked it.

Acting wise of course Bryner replaces Cleef, but all the rest of the characters are someone different if they made it back at all. Pedro Sanchez is a different guy as is Gianni Rizzo and a few others. Alley cat was replaced by a similar character in here, only now a dancing Mexican fills the shoes.

This movie was less original, had slower parts and just not nearly as fun or exciting as the first - I give it 5/10 stars.
