88 Films has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Edoardo Mulargia's
Shango (1970), starring Anthony Steffen, Eduardo Fajardo, Maurice Poli, Barbara Nelli, and Valerio Fioravanti. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 16.
Descriptiption: Spaghetti Westerns don't come any hotter than Shango (Shango, La Pistola Infallibile), a wild ride into a time where questions were answered through gritted teeth or worse still, with bullets. Directed by Edoardo Mulargia who co-wrote the intense script with headline star Anthony Steffen, we follow Shango, a Texas Ranger who finds himself face-to-face with a Confederate officer and his gang of violent thugs who are busy terrorizing the locals of a town in their savage hunt for gold. Violent and raw, Shango is packed with hardened characters, all battling for survival in the torturous heat of an unforgiving land whilst reflecting that, for some, war is never truly over and that they will always find something to fight for.
