Tracked by the vengeful Curly, Paco liberates villages, but is tempted by social banditry's treasures, which Kowalski revels in.
Reviews:
I recently got hold of the Japanese DVD print via ebay. This is of really high quality and I was amazed that this film is not more widely known or appreciated. What a brilliant film. In many ways it is similar to Companeros and if you liked that wonderful film you will also love this. The story is somewhat far-fetched but is very enjoyable and fast paced in a 'boys own' way. The machine gun makes its familiar appearance. Franco Nero, as always, delivers a superb performance and Jack Palance gives a very good performance as a very unpleasant killer. The music is brilliant and the duel in the bullring is incomparable and is perfectly choreographed to the wonderful music. If you are interested in westerns you have to see this film.

"The second collaboration of Sergio Corbucci, the Italian Western's most important director besides Sergio Leone, and Franco Nero, one of the genre's greatest actors, after the ingenious "Django" from 1966, "Il Mercenario", a movie set in the time of the Mexican revolution, and therefore late for a Western, is a must-see for every fan of the genre.
Sergei Kowalski (Franco Nero) gets hired by short-tempered revolutionary Paco Roman (Tony Musante), in order to help his squad of unexperienced rebels with their campaign for a free Mexico. While Paco is a crook, but also an idealist, becoming more and more idealistic after his troop is joined by beautiful and idealistic Columba, a woman whose father was a revolutionary , the Polish is a typical anti-hero, witty and cool and somehow sympathetic, but mainly concerned on his own benefit.
The acting is great, specially Franco Nero as the Polish, and Jack Palance's performance as one of the villains. Another villain is played by Eduardo Fajardo, who played the villainous Major Jackson in Django. The score of this movie, composed by Ennio Morricone, is just brilliant (how couldn't it), the cinematography is great as well as the locations. My favorite film by Corbucci is still the incomparably brilliant "Il Grande Silenzio" ("aka. "The Great Silence") of 1968, "Django" of 1966 being my second-favorite due to its immense entertainment- and cult-value. Maybe not quite as brilliant as "Il Grande Silenzio" and not quite as influential as "Django", "Il Mercenario" is nonetheless an exceptional Spaghetti Western with a great sense of humor that I would recommend to everybody, not only genre fans. 9 out of 10!"

I love these Spaghetti Westerns. Jack Palance was a great actor. This is a great movie...thank you for sharing it.
Have always liked Jack Palance as an actor. Thank you for sharing God bless
I still can’t get over how natural and fairly realistic a lot of these fight scenes are, I think many of these are very well made, stories dialogue and action! I can’t get enough, thanks so much for posting!!
Film spaghetti western aventura con Franco Nero genial dirige Sergio Corbucci entretenida 🎥🎞👍🏻
As Spaghetti Westerns go - this was definitely one of the best… 🏆 And one that was begging for a sequel.
I first saw this this film at the theater with my dad. At the time I felt it was the best western I had ever seen…. Until I seen The Good, Bad and the Ugly many years later

Me too, until I see Upon a time in west. The Good, Bad and the Ugly Is in fourty place, In Third place "For a few dolars more", the final duel in For a few dolars more is the best ever. And all the musics are from Enio Moricone, a Genius.

All I ever knew were Clint’s movies, then I saw Richard Boone in Madron and down the rabbit hole I went. One flick leading to the next and lovin it.
One of the all time greats this one.
I learned to whistle like that when I was a kid. Love the western; the movie and the whistling. 🍻
thanks Quentin
“Keep dreaming but with your eyes open”.. By far one of the greatest movies ❤

I'm also on a binge, finally moved out after years of only rewatching Leone's classics, to these less known titles, the genre is addictive, once you enjoy it, you wanna watch it more and more.

I've been looking for this film for years. Thanks!
Not since Django has Franco Nero portray a character that is so untouchable. Mercenary for hire at a big price. Then there's Jack Palance as the ruthless Curly. Him taking on Nero and the Mexicans. Good old spaghetti western. Shame they don't make like these anymore.
This is the best and fun .I love it .thank for uploaded the movie.

For some reason the audio was out in some spots but not for all of it. I would like to watch the original with subtitles. Very interesting film however there's also a lot of death that is made light of. Still, it's an enjoyable one.
Tremenda película gracias por este momento gracias totales 🇦🇷

Se há Franco Nero como ator o filme é muito bom mesmo obrigado.

Grandes Figuras del cine internacional., Jack Palce, y Franco Nero en esta divertida cinta, sin escluir a Eduardo Fajardo que trabajo en muchas cintas mexicanas., buen cine
Good film 👍👍👍😊
Is that an automatic pistol around 09:40 ? I'd say awards should go to the exceptionally well-trained horses. Good entertaining movie with a terrific score. Thanks!

What the hell is that thing on top of Jack Palance‘s head?
It says this movie takes place in the 1910s but the car they used in the beginning of the movie is a much later model WTF is with that. Other than that a great movie also with Jack palance
