BEYOND THE LAW (1968)

                           "I've never seen or heard so many bastards in all my life"

 Lee Van Cleef stars in this story of an outlaw who winds up becoming the sheriff of a town.  His partners include Lionel Stander(the old guy from that HART TO HART show) and Gordon Mitchel(Hercules from those old Hercules movies), who shows up as a bounty hunter type.  From there we get some double-crossings and the usual spaghetti-western shenanigans.  The real goody-good guy is played by Antonio Sabato and he's kind of an annoying naive fellow.  The awesomely named Herbert Fux from MARK OF THE DEVIL also shows up for a small bit.  While this isn't the worst thing ever it's what I would consider a middle of the road spaghetti-western really only memorable for Van Cleef and you can find him starring in better stuff around the same time.  The title itself  is completely forgettable and I think it must be the name of at least one other action movie if not more.  One big disappointment I have with this film is that they have the great Bud Spencer in it but he's all clean cut and shaven playing a boring boss character instead of his usual gruff head-smashing self.
