THE RETURN OF HALLELUJA is one of those spaghetti westerns whose great emphasis is on humour over action or plotting. The story is faintly ridiculous and sees the titular hero employed to retrieve a priceless Aztec idol for a Mexican revolutionary who needs the power possession of such an object will bring. Unfortunately for Halleluja, a bunch of other sinister characters also want to get their hands on the treasure, so the hunt is on. This is one of many disappointing genre productions for George Hilton and for the most part it plays out as a lame comedy. There are talking parrots, silly slapstick, and all manner of goofy characters doing dumb things. It doesn't really hold together as a proper movie at all.

Has a couple of funny moments

This is probably the best among the bunch of spaghetti western comedies that George Hilton was starring in - which doesn't say a lot because the others were mainly ridiculous and cheap. The second Alleluja movie has a couple of funny moments. I'll never forget the scene when Alleluja is hired as a gunfighter by a Mexican "general of the revolution" and sits down to write a contract first - in the middle of a battle!
