Black Jack 1968 starring Robert Woods was a fascinating SW and I agree with other posters it belongs on a top 20 list. I saw a full screen DVD copy of it with the edited ending and then saw on youtube the unedited ending. If you watch the edited version you will say "WTF" at the ending and then feel cheated like when you order fast food after seeing a commercial showing a hug full hamburger then you go in the drive thru and its half the size like that lol. Okay back to the flick... I like this movie because there is no hero only a bad guy, who gets wronged by his crew because he is greedy and double crosses them only to get hunted down and those closest to him gets hurt and murdered being left for dead Black Jack sets out for revenge badly maimed and is half crazed. It really is a great revenge flick and with amazing ending. Robert Woods really has grown on me since seeing My name is Pecos and Black Jack he is really a great character actor for the genre. The directing was great even though Baldenello is considered not a very good director but he did impress me with this one.
John the Bastard (1967) was truly a fun movie to watch. I loved the opening music theme in Spanish about John and the opening scene showing various woman John has made love to and left. It was funny the scene where John is being forced at gunpoint to marry a young woman by her kin only to say "no" on the wedding day and then be rescued by his faithful servant Morenillo, who admits latter on to being stupid and is fiercely loyal to John even though the latter is always calling him names and being cruel. What is interesting about the Don Juan theme in this SW is how the main character is by no means a hero and is truly a bastard in many aspects still you cant help yourself to be entertained by his character and enjoy his various ways of conning people and walking over various woman and men alike. John the Bastard truly wants revenge for being born and being an outcast finally getting the closer of knowing who his father is by tricking his mother who calls her son the Devil. I don't want to spoil anymore of the story it is a very good movie and John Richardson's character will grow on you even though he's a bastard!
