Dinheiro Sangrento

A safecracker (Van Cleef) sneaks into a building and cracks a safe, only to find another door and a picture of a woman's arse. Behind the next door is a picture of another arse and another door. He's just about to dynamite the fourth and last door when the Chinese owner rushes in a manages to blow himself up, which of course results in Cleef being arrested for murder, and all over four pictures of arses and a fortune cookie.

Over in China (and it looks as if they had the money to go there) distant relative of the dead man, Ho, is tasked by a local Warlord to go to the US and recover a missing fortune that was in the dead man's possession, and thus begins a kung-fu/gunfighting mash-up as Ho teams up with Cleef to basically find four different women and look at their arses.

This action/comedy/martial arts film is rather enjoyable in its own goofy way, even if it does short change the viewer a little bit on the Kung Fu front. The balance of comedy and violence seems to work well because Van Cleef seems to be enjoying himself immensely (as well as looking genuinely drunk in some scenes), plus Patty Shepherd also hams it up as a set of twins and the whole 'let's see your arse' premise is pretty funny.

This is only the second Spaghetti Wester/Kung Fu film I've watched but I'd still recommend The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe. Now, if only I could track down Hercules Vs Karate!
