DVD Review: Fate brought them together. Greed made them inseparable, and violence made them Companeros!
Summary: 4 Stars
Companeros! (1970) This is a very entertaining spaghetti western from director Sergio Corbucci (Super Fuzz). The story teams Italian superstars Franco Nero (Django) and Tomas Milian (Traffic) as reluctant mercenary pals teamed up to retrieve revolutionary Fernando Rey (The French Connection) from the clutches of his captors before creepy bad guy Jack Palance (Craze) can assassinate him. A safe filled with "all of the treasure" of Rey's hometown that only Rey knows the combination to is the prize. With a great Ennio Morricone score, a fast pace (despite a lengthy running time of exactly two hours) and a light hearted approach, Corbucci really scores with this buddy western. Nero and Milian have tons of screen presence and chemistry, and they are well matched against Palance, who is a lot of fun as a crazed pot smoking nutjob with one wooden hand and a pet falcon. As is usual with Italian films, everybody is dubbed (the Italians don't usually record sound while shooting, putting all of the sound in later in post production!) but the leads provide their own voices, and it also seems almost everybody is speaking English since the words mostly match the lip movements of just about everybody in the cast, making the dubbing far less noticeable than otherwise. The script also deserves some praise, with funny lines and salty dialogue that combine with the plentiful action and stuntwork to make this a highly recommended movie for those who enjoy a good western now and again and a must for fans. Check this one out!

Description of Companeros
Fate brought them together... Greed made them inseparable... Violence made them COMPANEROS!Yodlaf Peterson (Franco Nero of KEOMA) is a suave Swedish arms dealer with a love for fast money. Vasco (Tomas Milian of TRAFFIC) is a trigger-happy Mexican bandit with a hate for suave Swedish arms dealers. But when the two team up to kidnap a professor who holds the key to a fortune in gold, they find themselves hunted by the American army, stalked by a marijuana-crazed sadist (Academy Award® winner Jack Palance) and trapped in the middle of a revolution about to explode. Can these two enemies blast their way across Mexico together without killing each other first?
Written and directed by the legendary Sergio Corbucci (DJANGO), COMPANEROS is a once-in-a-lifetime teaming of the two greatest European stars in `Spaghetti Western' history. Fernando Rey (THE FRENCH CONNECTION) co-stars in this action-packed comedy classic that also features a remarkable score by Ennio Morricone (THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY).
