Contains four movies :

Beyond the Law (Italy/Germany, 1968)
Death Rides a Horse (Italy, 1968)
God’s Gun (Italy/Israel, 1976)
Cry Blood Apache (USA, 1970)

The first three films star Lee Van Cleef and are spaghetti westerns. As for the fourth one, well, it doesn’t star Lee Van Cleef and certainly is not a spaghetti western. Why it is in the boxed set is a mystery.

Beyond the Law is about a bandit (Van Cleef), and his two partners, who becomes the town’s sheriff after hepling getting rid of another gang of bandits. The plan is to accept the job in order to steal a stockpile of silver from the town.

A fine exemple of the genre. Very entertaining to watch for western film fans, but might leave others unsatisfied. Well made and Van Cleef makes for a good performance.

Death Rides a Horse is a tale of revenge. A boy, named Bill (John Phillip Law), saw his family slaughtered by an outlaw band at a young age and vows to avenge them, wich he goes on doing several years later. That is when he meets Ryan (Van Cleef) who is trying to get even with that same gang for an entirely different reason. Eventually, they team up to go against the outlaws.

Excellent theme song ! A very good spaghetti western, even if the look of Bill’s character is a clear rip-off of Clint Eastwood‘s man with no name, down to the jacket and the pose. Anyway, it makes for a very good time and is most enjoyable.

God’s Gun tells the story of a priest (Van Cleef) who is murdered after helping his town to get rid of an outlaw gang. The gang is in for a surprise as the priest’s aid goes and gets help from a man named Lewis who used to live in that town.

That one is a treat. Though today some of it might seem farfetched and clichéd, it must have been very original at the time. Van Cleef’s charisma seems very strong in this film, his presence fills the screen. A must see for genre lovers.

Cry Blood Apache is a flashback. The whole movie is a flashback. It is about a gang looking for gold and how unscrupulous they are in achieving their goal.

Mostly irrelevant, really. Bad acting, directing, fighting and characterization. Forgettable.
