Mannaja: A Man Called Blade
Sergio Martino (Torso) directs one of the last Spaghetti Westerns with too much smoke and not enough blood, but tons of machismo. Starring the charismatic hero of several great poliziechi (Italian Cop flicks), Maurizio Marli who lets his hatchet do the talking, Mannaja is loaded with themes and set-pieces that echo Martino's Giallo background. Not exactly a thinking man's film, but I get off on this kind of macho bullshit.
If you're into Italian genres, go for it.
