Blutiger Freitag (1972)


 

After escaping from a courtroom during his trial, a criminal plans the biggest bank robbery every to have taken place in Germany.

Relentlessly tough and mean-spirited bank robbery drama is straightforwardly made as a sleazy actioner, populated throughout with disagreeable characters, but actually is not any much more than that (despite having gained a certain cult status).

Navajo Joe (1966)



A Native American warrior called Navajo Joe seeks revenge on a gang of sadistic outlaws who has massacred the people of his tribe.

Violent and rompous Spaghetti Western hardly takes a breath to stop the action; Burt Reynolds is curiously cast as some kind of "half-breed" superhero.

Maltin***: "Gory, quite savage spaghetti Western with some rousing action and a good score by Ennio Morricone..."
