MANNAJA: A MAN CALLED BLADE



ONE OF THE LAST GREAT 'SPAGHETTI WESTERNS' - NOW TOTALLY UNCUT AND UNCENSORED!
Maurizio Merli (the iconic star of the 70s Italian cop movies) stars as a hatchet-wielding bounty hunter with a dark past and an even more desperate future. But when he disrupts the balance of power in a corrupt mining town, he unleashes a firestorm of brutality, betrayal and cold-blooded murder. Now, one man stalks a savage land where justice walks a razor and no bullets slice deeper than vengeance. He is A MAN CALLED BLADE.

John Steiner (SALON KITTY, CALIGULA) and Donal OBrien (RUN MAN RUN, KEOMA) co-star in this muddy, bloody and extreme Spaghetti Western that is truly a cut above the rest. Co-written and directed by the notorious Sergio Martino (TORSO, MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD), MANNAJA: A MAN CALLED BLADE has been fully restored from original Italian vault materials including its infamous eyeball torture scenes.

"VIOLENT AND SURREAL... A TRUE CLASSIC OF THE GENRE!"
-Westerns All'Italiana



A man returns to gain vengeance on the man who killed his father. Unknown in the town, he quickly gets into trouble, and secures himself a reputation as a tough guy. A bounty hunter, he has a man in shackles, whom he uses as stakes in a game of high card. He wins. He is forced to take his money the hard way, as the others in the room were not inclined to allow this muddy stranger to walk off with the straw boss's 5k. These men all die. Like so many others who attempt to double cross the man called blade. Of course, his behaviour has earned him the enmity of these guys, who happen to work for the guy who offed his old man. But wait! Can even the guy he came to kill trust these guys? And his daughter looks to be a little devious herself. Throw in a travelling burlesque show, and a bunch of stone age tomahawks and you've got yourself quite a western!
