Blade (Maurizio Merli) captures the outlaw Burt Craven (Donaled O'Brian) and heads towards Suttonville only to discover when he gets there it's run by an old religious cripple McGowan (Philippe Leroy), who he has a personal vendetta against and his psychotic Henchman Voller (John Stiener). So he decides to stay and put an end to their cruel control of the town.

I am a big Spaghetti Western fan and this is a great film, it may be similar to Keoma which I think is a good film but to this to me is better. They have a similar Gothic atmosphere, a score by the De Angelis Brothers and the Sam Peckinpah slow motion action scenes, which you could argue that Director Sergio Martino has blatantly copied but I don't mind as this is a fast paced film that never gets boring.

The score by the Angelis brothers is very similar to Keoma so if you liked that then you will love this one, I wasn't to impressed by the groaning songs but they didn't annoy me but there was one piece however that is played around the romantic scenes, I though was great.

Maurizio Merli is great in the lead role as Blade who gets his name for carrying around hatchet as his weapon of choice. There's a two great villains in McGowan, who has banned all of the whores and whisky from the town calling them the sins of Babylon and his right hand man Voller who has two massive black Great Danes for protection are some of the best bad guys in Spaghetti Western history.

Overall a fine film that i'd rank in my top Spaghetti Westerns of all time.

DVD: very good quality and English and Italian Audio

Mannaja: A Man Called Blade was one of the last worthwhile Spaghetti Westerns made(Lucio Fulci chimed in a year later with the violent but unoriginal The Silver Saddle) with the Italian filmakers tuning more to horror and post apocalyptic style movies that were obviously more of a draw in changing cinematic times. The 1970s were an odd time for the spaghetti western. There were the occasional flourishes of greatness with the likes of Keoma and Fulci's other 70s western Four Of The Apocalypse but unfortunatly the genre had backed itself into a corner with far to many self parodies and so called comedy westerns. Thankfully Mannaja avoids this cliche and reverts back to what made spaghetti westerns so interesting back in the early years of the genre. Tough, gritty and action packed Mannaja was directed by popular Italian director Sergio Martino who was probably better known for his giallo films and euro crime oaters. Star of the show Blade played perfectly by Maurizio Merli was also a blast back to the heros of the old style spaghetti westerns albeit with a new weapon of choice which in this case turns out to be a hatchet(the source of his name).
Though simple and hardly that original Mannaja has some wonderful touches to hold the interest of avid spaghetti western fans. Made in the wake of many American westerns, Mannaja isnt avert to the use of stylish slow motion phototgraphy in the same vein as Sam Peckinpah. Martino handles these scenes well especially at one point which flashes between a vicious attack on stage coach passengers and a troup of brightly dressed showgirls with the music from the dancing playing throughout. The various gunfights and fistycuffs are also decently staged and occasionally violent and brutal with good use of blood squibs to heighten the realism.
