Decent film that hits most of the usual genre beats and tropes

Pistol for 100 Coffins (1968) Italian-Spanish Spaghetti Western written and directed by Umberto Lenzi and staring Peter Lee Lawrence as a conscientious objector who refused to fight for the south in the Civil War. Now newly released from prison, Lawrence takes up arms to deliver cold vengeance on the gunmen who murdered his family.

Not a bad movie, but if you've seen a lot of spaghetti's, you've essentially seen this one too. Indeed, Pistol for 100 Coffins checks off most of the usual story beats and genre tropes:

Man released or escapes from the law ✅ Quest for Revenge ✅ Stolen Cash or Gold ✅ Older Gunfighter Mentors a Younger Hothead - ✅ Incredible Photography ✅ Amazing Score ❌

Perhaps the films biggest drawback is the lack of a score written by il maestro, Ennio Morricone, legendary composer of Sergio Leone's films. A Morricone score would've brought this film to the level of Death Rides a Horse (1968), a better film with a very similar story.

For fans of spaghetti's this one is worth a watch, just keep in mind that if you've seen Death Rides a Horse or Leone's films, you've seen this story better told before. 6.5 out of 10.
