Known in Italy as Indio Black, sai che ti dico: Sei un gran figlio di (Indio Black, you know what I'm going to tell you... You're a big son of a...), this is the second Sabata entry for director Gianfranco Parolini but switches out the lead role of Sabata.
This time, Yul Brynner is the man in black, taking over for Lee Van Cleef.
Set in Mexico under the rule of Emperor Maximilian I, Sabata/Indio Black is hired by the Señor Ocaño (Franco Fantasia, Zombi) to steal some gold, but our hero and his partners Escudo (Ignazio Spalla, who is in every Sabata movie) and Ballantine (Dean "Red Elvis" Reed, who defected to East Germany a few years after this movie and continued his singing and acting career) soon learn that they've only got sand. Colonel Skimmel has the gold and their money, so they set out for revenge.
It's not bad, but nowhere near as good as the original. That said, it wasn't intended to be a sequel, but the name change was because Sabata did so well in the U.S.
