comment
"Sabata" is the English title of Italian Spaghetti Western "Ehi Amico... C'e Sabata, Hai Chiuso!" That is: "Hey, Friend... That's Sabata, You're Finished!"That should clue you in as to what kind of movie you're watching.Sabata begins as a group of acrobats rob a small town bank, killing the guards and making off with the safe. Luckily, mysterious drifter Sabata (Lee Van Cleef) just happens to be in town; he kills the fuck out of them and brings the safe back before the posse even leaves. Taking a small reward for his actions, Sabata digs a little further/kills some people and learns that three prominent citizens were behind the theft. He blackmails them, causing them to respond by hiring wave after wave of mooks to kill him. Backed by knife-throwing ham Carrincha and silent acrobat Alley Cat, Sabata takes them all, upping his price each time.The second film, despite being marketed as Adios, Sabata, wasn't originally meant to be a Sabata film, as indicated by its name, which translates to, Indio Black, you know what I'm going to tell you: You're a big son of a .... They decided to change it in order to cash in on the success of the first film.It's even crazier than its predecessor. Seriously.Yul Brynner plays Ind-Sabata, a stoic badass armed with a bizarre sawed-off rifle fed by a magazine containing seven bullets and one cigar. Set during the 1867 Mexican Revolution, Sabata gets involved with odd group of rebels: Escudo, the leader, essentially Carrincha from the first movie, played by the same actor; Gitano, whom Escudo orders to do the "Flamingo of Death" whenever he executes someone; Septiembre, who kicks musket balls at his enemies; and Ballentine, who keeps trying to rob them and whom Sabata inexplicably keeps alive. They plot to steal Austrian gold to finance the resistance, but the gold turns out be dirt, having already been stolen by monocle-wearing villain Colonel von Skimmel. To keep his secret, the evil villian sends waves of derby-hat-wearing Austrians to kill them.Lee Van Cleef returns to play Sabata for the last film, Return of Sabata (Sabata is back ... to end another time). Sabata is once again trying to get money, this time from a lieutenant he knew in The American Civil War. This is considered by almost everyone to be the weakest film; there's much less shooting and much more camp, to the point where it feels like Van Cleef is playing a different character.

One Bullet Left: Banjo, after Sabata fires four shots from his four-barrelled derringer, makes a dive for his rifle... only for Sabata to shoot it away with a second gun stashed in the derringer's grip.

comment
Title Drop: In the Italian version when Banjo fails to kill Sabata at Las Palos. Carrincha to Banjo: "Ehi, Amico... C'e Sabata, Hai Chiuso!" The English dub uses "Hey, Amigo! That's Sabata and you lost, eh?" (the actual translation of the Italian title is "Hey, Friend... That's Sabata, You're Finished!")

comment
Mauve Shirt: Manuel in Adios Sabata is just a nondescript revolutionary guerrilla, but, unlike several Red Shirts, he avoids being killed during the initial gold heist along with the more quirky and developed characters (Sabata, Escudo, Ballantine, Gitano, and Septembrie). When he dies about half an hour later, it's treated with some gravitas.

Chekhov's Skill: In the first film, Sabata has a habit of flicking silver dollars to people, and is accurate enough to toss one into the coin slot of a player piano from across the room. At the end of the film, he flicks one so it hits the trigger of Stengels' sword gun as it is lying on the table: killing him with his own weapon.

Animesque: One of the first western movies to use tropes that are to this day most commonly associated with shonen manga and kung fu movies, most notably a hero with a unique weapon, a colorful cast of characters who could all kick your ass in a variety of colorful ways, and in the first movie a rival with his own unique weapon.
