Reviews

By Paul de Bruin

This South African film is a spaghetti western without the spaghetti. So sticking to the national food theme, perhaps ‘**Boerewors western**’ is a better term? This is the sequel to ‘**Three Bullets For a Long Gun**’ which was pretty much exploited every spaghetti western cliché and stereotype. ‘**They Call Me Lucky**’ is a better film all round, it’s a lot darker and more cynical than the first film and well worth checking out if you’re a fan of the spaghetti western genre or simply a rare cult film fan.
