SHOOT FIRST... ASK QUESTIONS LATER

Cinemavixion Review

Sergio Corbucci’s "Shoot First... Ask Questions Later," released in 1975, is a delightful Italian comedy western that playfully subverts genre conventions. Set against the backdrop of the 19th century, the narrative spins a yarn about an unlikely trio – a sheriff, a samurai, and an outlaw – united by a quest to recover a stolen imperial pony. This unique gift, intended for the U.S. President from the Japanese Emperor, sets in motion a chain of chaotic events, thrilling action, and uproarious laughter. The film stands as a testament to the spaghetti western's capacity for inventive storytelling and its enduring appeal.
