Terence Hill stars as 'Nobody' - the fastest gun in the West, in a film which takes a more satirical view of how things really happened than the history books would suggest.
Superb supporting roles by Klaus Kinski as 'Doc Foster' and Patrick McGoohan as the less than honest cavalry officer make this a thoroughly enjoyable spaghetti western.
Sergio Leone co-directed this film but chose to remain uncredited.

Two star basketball players, Donnell, a black kid from the inner city, and Jason, a white kid from the afflunt suburbs, are sentenced to 30 days' labor in each other's communities following a brawl between their two teams.
When they return to their home turf, both see their new attitudes put to the test: Donnell struggles to stay clear of trouble as his brother maintains an uneasy gang truce, while Jason becomes disillusioned with his family and friends when he realizes how spoiled and insensitive they can be.
Tragedy ultimately creates a bond of friendship between the two former enemies, and their fierce rivalry is replaced by shared goals and teamwork.
Scarlett Johannson and Helen Hunt give Oscar Wilde's popular play Lady Windermere's Fan a lavish jazz-age treatment in A Good Woman.
An adventuress (Hunt, As Good as It Gets) flees scandal in New York and lands in Italy, where she crosses paths with a young businessman (David Hasselhoff look-alike Mark Umbers) and his very upright young wife (Johansson, Lost in Translation).
Before long, tongus are wagging about the adventuress and the businessman, possibly driving the wife to a rash act.
A Good Woman retains Wilde's plot - though its 19th century moral concerns don't have the same punch in 1930s Italy - and tosses aside most of his impeccable dialogu, sprinkling his clever epigrams here and there in the otherwise undistinguished dialogu.
Johansson, perhaps the most physically sensual actress since Brigitte Bardot, is miscast as the moral prig; Hunt, looking pinched and austere, is miscast as the jaded courtesan.
The movie's great saving grace is Tom Wilkinson as a rich man who hopes Hunt will warm his older years. Wilkinson brings a worldly benevolence to every moment he's on screen, making the lines that weren't written by Wilde sound as crisp and wise as if they were. -- Bret Fetzer

Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed short film La Jetee (which is included on the DVD Short 2: Dreams), 12 Monkeys combines intricate, intelligent storytelling with the uniquly imaginative vision of director Terry Gilliam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland of the year 2035, where a virulent plagu has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressively regimented underground.
Bruce Willis plays a societal outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "volunteering" to time-travel into the past to obtain a pure sample of the deadly virus that will help future scientists to develop a cure.
But in bouncing from 1918 to the early and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeal that forces him to qustion his own perceptions of reality. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initially convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with links to a radical group that may have unleashed the deadly virus.
Equal parts mystery, tragedy, psychological thriller, and apocalyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction films of the '90s, boosted by Gilliam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career. -- Jeff Shannon
12 Monkeys was desirable! You have to remark this movie! A unprecedented performance by Joseph Melito & Bruce Willis make 12 Monkeys a "want to catch" movie!
