In this tribute to the old time spaghetti westerns with a liberal dose of modern Hong Kong film-making thrown in, Emilio Estevez assumes Clint Eastwood's "man with no name" role. Estevez plays a super-quick gunman on the run from a rancher (Long) and his men out to kill him for killing his son. The gunman gets mixed up with a former Confederate soldier (William Forsythe) who has knowledge of hidden gold. The only trouble is he is also pursued by Union soldiers. When they free a man (Ed Lauter) with part of the map to the gold, they then are also pursued by Spanish soldiers. It all leads to a small Mexican town terrorized by soldiers and led a by a good priest (Joaquim De Almeida) who also has knowledge of the gold.

Dollar for the Dead Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
arty-jacobs I just got the DVD I love this Movie Every since I seen it on TV took for ever to find it on DVD for USA. It funny how his gun never need to be reloaded but two to three times. there are a few great one liners in this movie.If you think Clint Eastwood did some far out shooting wait till you see this he kills more men in one shoot out then Clint would do in one movie.Emilio Estevez is a one man army he has handguns that seem to appear out of no were If you like Spaghetti Westerns your sure to love this one. It is filled with comedy as well as lighting fast gun play As they search for all the section of the map to the cash of confederate gold The movie could use a few more twist and turns but it great just the way it is I have watch it three times this week to me it is Awesome.Also buy the way I found the DVD on amazon.com.
Elaine I would have liked a few more plot twists and turns but was entertained by this film for the most part. I thought the guy who played the padre & the mean Federale captain, Jordi Molla, did a very good job acting. Also good was Dulley, the one-legged companion to Estevez. The photography was pretty good, beautifull scenery & I loved the movie score that went with it. It was interesting to note at the closing credits that the whole film was filmed in Spain. I would of sworn the film took place somewhere in the southwestern United States. Also interesting was the old-fashioned "machine gun" that Dulley used toward the end of the flick. I wouldn't mind having this video in my own library.
Capt_comicbook Ugggg. What happened to E. Esteves? This film was so bad, it bad me laugh.Did anyone else nearly pee themselves laughing when Howie Long askssomeone if the Stranger (Esteves) had 'Hard Eyes?' A lot of comments for this film go on and on about the action.... I fail to see how it can even be considered as anything but a spoof. Believability is shot to hell, when I am reduced to counting how many shots the guy has in his 6-shooter... hint: it should only be 6! At one point he fires off over 8 from one pistol. As far as emulating John Woo, it nearly does, because his actions scenes are nearly as bad as these,... only there weren't and slow-motion shots with doves in this one.Rent this movie only if you havn't gotten a big enough laugh at Howie Long's film career.
ElGato Lots of nice eye candy, but the cinematography does not compare to that in The Quick and the Dead, a film this TNT original brings to mind. The story is flimsy and too busy, but nevermind. The real purpose is for Emilio Estevez to squint and Howie Long to wear a duster while shooting up the "bad" guys in an attempt to emulate Sam Raimi or Peckinpah.Not an entire waste of time. I was sitting at home while my wife was out of town, and enjoyed it for what it is: a non-pretentious, silly western with some gravitational tricks that would make Xena jealous.El Gato says check it out.
