Cheap Israeli made oater from the Globus and Golan production company that is notable for a few reasons. The most obvious is seeing eternal Spaghetti western villain Lee Van Clef, this time playing the leader of a large renegade band of Mexican desperadoes, face off against a baby - faced Leif Garrett. He plays the surviving son of a family murdered by the gang and he's out for revenge. There's no doubt that those with a mordant sense of humour, will get some amusement, as the unlikely brat picks of the members of the gang, in wickedly inventive ways, a la Charles Bronson in Chato's Land. Director Joe Mandrake (I hear many whispering, "Joe Who?") even pays a rattlesnake homage to that earlier, much better Michael Winner film. I should also add that Jim Brown is on hand to aid the young fella, in the latter stages of his mission from God.
Mention must be made of the terrible sound mixing in this film, that consistently sees guns firing, smoke curling from various barrels, to be then followed the sound of gun shots. The same follows for a series of later dynamite explosions. Laughable stuff! Even if it's not produced all that well, there is a pretty high action quota.
There was another bonus for me personally. First time I've seen a film have a name change (Kid Vengeance) from the opening credits to the final credits (Vendetta) - The End. Just goes to show anything is possible in the movies.
