Starring Franco Nero, Tony Musante, and Jack Palance.

Has a funny scene where Palance, as Curly, who if I am reading the cues right is a homosexual gunfighter, is ambushed and forced to strip down to his undershirt. In defiance, he removes his undershirt in front of Nero and walks away naked. No body double used.

Caligula: Do you think I'm mad?...Sometimes I think that I'm going mad. Do you — be honest with me — has that thought ever crossed your mind?

Claudius: Never. Never. The idea is preposterous. You set the standard of sanity for the whole world.

I really do enjoy Sergio Corbucci’s revolutionary based spaghetti westerns. I think “Companeros” is even better. High-energy and crazier. Franco Nero and Jack Palance return. Tomas Milian teams up with Nero, while Palance again steals the show along with his pet falcon. The story how they came to be is absurd, yet so endearing.
