AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

t_atzmueller It's both sad and ironic that Terence Hills portrayal 'Lucky Luke' had nothing in common with the comic-character but the name and Jolly Jumper, the talking horse. Ironic because Hills parade-roles, 'Trinity' and 'Nobody', both owned more to Lucky Luke than probably actor and director (Enzo Barboni) would care to admit.Many "Trinity" fans consider "Man of the East" an unofficial prequel: here Hill plays Sir Thomas Fitzpatrick Phillip Moore, a textbook Greenhorn who has arrived in the rugged Wild West claim his father's inheritance. The inheritance consists of a ram shackled old farm and three of his fathers cronies, who've taken it upon themselves to turn Thomas into gun-totting cowboy.Having mentioned Lucky Luke, only at the end does Terence Hill (of course) turn into the faster-than-your-shadow, damsel-saving gunslinger but originally his character, Sir Thomas, is taken straight from the Lucky Luke comic book "The Greenhorn" – an archetypical bowler hat wearing, tea totting English gentleman, blissfully unaware that this is the West and not Kensington.At first, the absence of Hill's "Trinity"-partner Bud Spencer is painfully obvious. However, Bull Schmidt (Gregory Walcott), the jovial friar Holy Joe (Harry Carey Jr) and Monkey Smith (Dominic Barto, who had previously played a steel-eyed killer in "Trinity"), playing Hills mentors and surrogate fathers, make a quirky trio, soon compensating for the absence of Spencer. Plus, we have director Enzo Barboni who knows the terrain of the spaghetti western comedy like the back of his palm.The movie has all the elements necessary to please fans of early Hill/Spencer/Barboni co operations but never quiet reaches the high level of mentioned "Trinity"- and "Nobody" films. Still, far better than anything Hill was starring in the past 15 years and infinitely better than the dreadful "Lucky Luke" films.

moonspinner55 East meets West, with the usual pleasures to be had in a rather typical fish-out-of-water story. Terence Hill is the jolly Britisher who arrives in Old West Arizona upon his dying father's wish that he become a cowboy. Writer-director Enzo Barboni knows just how to utilize Hill's starry-eyed charm, and the actor is very funny exercising in the morning in front of the gunslingers or riding his bicycle down tumbleweed streets. A ready-made romance is provided for our hero with a literature-minded lass into Byron (her baby-blue eyes match up well with Hill's, although his dimply prettiness is tough to beat). The film isn't much, but the English-dubbing is good and the Yugoslavian locations give it a curious and unusual look. The general handling is so amiable that viewers may become absorbed by the movie without even realizing it. It sneaks up on you, like the best kind of sleeper. ** from ****

MarKus-371 Sir Thomas Moore, An eccentric Englishman, is sent to the Wild West by his dying fathers last wish, to teach him how to be a "real" man. He is threatened by a man called Morton, who wants to marry the girl that Hill also wishes to marry. With the help of his 3 friends, Hill learns how to fight and use a gun in case he is challenged by Morton.Being a fan of Terence Hill movies, I decided to get a bootleg of this movie off a friend. I was told this movie was better then Hill's 2 most famous movies THEY CALL ME TRINITY & TRINITY IS STILL MY NAME. This movie wasn't that funny and the action was just average. Still I enjoyed seeing MAN OF THE EAST, but its nothing special, and a bit overlong I might add. It's worth seeing once if your a Hill/Spencer fan. My vote: **1/2 out of ****

Tobias Landes This is, except perhaps for Peckinpah's "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid", my favorite movie at all. It's biggest quality is its completeness in almost every respect. Completeness in its themes, in its means, and a glorious cast.It's a film most of all about friendship (I most often think of the scene where monkey, usually the most 'rude' of the protagonists, eagerly grasps the last letter of their dead friend, and then, realizing he can't read at all, is forced to pass the letter to Holy Joe, but in fact the friendship theme is present in the whole movie), about the antagonism of freedom and civilization, about the need and the struggle to find and defend your own position towards everything surrounding you (the 'star' to follow), about how dreams and reality can influence each other (remember the scene of Candida experiencing the man of her dreams riding towards her in a gracious slow motion, while Terence Hill in fact cusses his half-dead horse), about technological progress, it's consequences, and about almost every other theme that has ever been dealt with in 80 years of western history.The movie's means are comedy, satire, drama, buddy movie, a really great musical score by Guido & Maurizio de Angelis, and all style elements of the classical western.The cast is superb, creating at least half a dozen unique characters you can root on; unfortunately with one exception: Yanti Somer's lousy performance as Candida.Another wonderful thing about this movie, is that it doesn't condemn any of its characters; everyone has his place in the film's world and gets his respect by script, direction and cast: the protagonists as well as the whores, the 'villains', the bounty hunters and the jailers. By the way: This quality also characterizes most films by Sam Peckinpah.
