Savage Guns: 4 Classic Westerns Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman January 1, 2024

Arrow may be engaging in just the slightest bit of PR hyperbole with their description of the quartet of offerings in Savage Guns as "classic westerns", as even some of the commentaries included on this set get into. The sheer glut of what have alternately been called Spaghetti or Euro (as well as in one case on a disc in this set, Taco) Westerns throughout the sixties and seventies in particular probably unavoidably led to rather wide variances in quality, and if, as again the very commentaries on some of these discs overtly mention, some of the films in this set are probably not "top tier", they can be rather interesting in their own ways, and as usual Arrow has assembled an impressive array of supplements to augment things.

Savage Guns: 4 Classic Westerns Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.5 of 5

The films in this set may or may not actually qualify as "classics", but they all have rather distinctive qualities at times, and together they prove how potent the Spaghetti, Euro and/or Taco Western idiom was. Technical merits are generally solid, and as usual Arrow has assembled a really impressive array of supplements. Taken as a whole, Recommended.
