Cry Onion (1975)
Director: Enzo Castellari
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Attempting to spice up this lamentable slapstick Western, those responsible for the dubbing have foisted an inappropriate James Stewart drawl on freckle-faced Franco Nero (a gormless, onion-eating fanatic who refuses to sell a patch of land to Balsam, an oil baron with a dart-firing mechanical hand), while his juvenile sidesick spouts Al Pacino Brooklynese. Nero spends most of the movie throwing onions at the baddies, or rendering them unconscious with his malodorous breath.Author: JPy
