After the "Man With No Name" came the man with a name, "Sabata". The "Sabata" character was first introduced to audiences in the form of Lee Van Cleef in the original spaghetti western classic "Sabata" (1970). In 1971 legendary Hollywood actor and star of the original "Magnificent Seven", Yul Brynner joined the ranks of Hollywood actors who went to Italy to make spaghetti westerns. He was signed up to star in the "Sabata" sequel "Adios Sabata" a stylish, rollicking, action filled, gun-smoker in the true tradition of all good spaghetti westerns. In this installment "Sabata", the invincible master gunfighter helps Mexican revolutionaries steal a wagonload of gold. Along the way there are plenty of gunfights, explosions and the usual close-ups all set to that special brand of spaghetti western music that all western lovers have come to enjoy. Yul Brynner's tough guy presence lifts "Adios Sabata" one notch above most spaghetti westerns. Director Gianfranco Parolini does an excellent job, bringing a tongue-in-cheek sense of fun to the proceedings. "Adios Sabata" has all the elements of a good spaghetti western, plus more, trick shooting, fancy weaponry, punch-ups, over-the-top costumes, stylish photography and a hero that is unbeatable and unstoppable. "Adios Sabata" would certainly make veteran spaghetti western filmmaker Sergio Leone proud.
