The motion picture was well directed and in personal style by Rafael Romero Marchent at his best . Rafael Romero Marchent (Madrid, Spain, May 3, 1926), was brother of Joaquin Luis Romero, recently deceased , who was the first to shoot Westerns in Spain . At first, Rafael Romero began in films as an actor, but when his career began to wane, he preferred to spend time behind the camera . Rafael is an expert writer and director of Spaghetti Western as proved in ¨Two crosses on Danger Pass¨, Cry for revenge¨, ¨Two guns for two twins¨ and ¨Sartana Kills Them All¨ or ¨Un par Asesinos¨. While his brother Joaquin Marchent is deemed the Paella Western's best director , his first film was ¨El Coyote¨ and the sequel titled ¨Revenge of Coyote¨ shot in Mexico ; after that , he filmed ¨The shadow of Zorro¨ and ¨Revenge of Zorro¨, he went go directing Western as ¨ Riding to death ¨ , ¨Adventures in the West¨ , ¨Three good men¨, ¨Sabor Venganza ¨ and the most popular and violent ¨Condenados a Vivir¨ . Plus , he wrote for his brother Rafael Romero Marchent the followings Western : ¨Manos Torpes¨, ¨Ocaso Un Pistolero¨ , ¨Garringo¨ and this ¨Sartana Kills Them All¨. Rating : Passable and acceptable , though contains some flaws and gaps ; however , it results to be pretty entertaining . Worthwhile watching for the Spaghetti Western aficionados .
The history about the famous Spaghetti hero called ¨Sartana¨ is the following : The first movie on Sartana as an avenger hero was by Frank Kramer , or Gianfranco Parolini, interpreted by John Garco or Gianni Garco or Gary Hudson , besides being starred by Klaus Kinski and William Berger . As always , the mythic personage appears elegant and dressed in black with a killer look , utilizing offbeat gimmicks in James Bond style and tricks to vanquish his enemies. After being continued by Alfonso Balcazar ¨Sartana non perdona or Sonora¨ with Jorge Martin , Jack Elam and Gilbert Roland . Miles Deem directed two Sartanas which are considered awful . Anthony Ascott or Giuliano Carmineo , realized several movies with George Hilton who replaces Garco . Hilton plays more natural and roguish than Garco who was cold and peculiar . Garco starred various Sartanas with Carmineo as ¨Sartana the gravedigger'(69) , ¨Light the fuse Sartana is coming¨(71). Subsequently were realized a lot of imitations , rip offs and lousy copies such as ¨Django defies Sartana¨(1969) by Pasquale Squitieri with George Ardisson and Tony Kendall , "Sartana, the Invincible Gunman" , ¨El Sartana... l'Ombre Ta Mort¨ directed by Demofilo Fidani or Miles Deem , among others.
