Two gangs are at war over a treasure hidden in the hillside, and a Man with No Name gunfighter is sent to protect the townspeople from the strife. Part drama, part action, all comedy, J-horror director Takashi Miike’s take on the Spaghetti Western genre is a far-east-meets-wild-west masterpiece. Parental Discretion Recommended for violence and language.
