Independent U.S. distributors Blue Underground have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Sergio Corbucci's
Compañeros a.k.a.
Vamos a matar, companeros (1970), starring Franco Nero, Tomas Milian, Jack Palance, Fernando Rey, and Karin Schubert. The release will arrive on the U.S. market on October 28th.
Synopsis: Yodlaf Peterson (Franco Nero of
Keoma) is a suave Swedish arms dealer with a love for fast money. Vasco (Tomas Milian of
Traffic) is a trigger-happy Mexican bandit with a hate for suave Swedish arms dealers. But when the two team up to kidnap a professor who holds the key to a fortune in gold, they find themselves hunted by the American army, stalked by a marijuana-crazed sadist (Academy Award winner Jack Palance) and trapped in the middle of a revolution about to explode. Can these two enemies blast their way across Mexico together without killing each other first?
Written and directed by the legendary Sergio Corbucci (
The Great Silence),
Companeros is a once-in-a-lifetime teaming of the two greatest European stars in 'Spaghetti Western' history. With a soundtrack by the legendary Ennio Morricone.
