Favorite Spaghetti Western Star?

This is a list of actors that regularly pop up in Spaghetti Westerns so for that reason I've left out people like Henry Fonda, James Coburn and even Clint Eastwood due to the fact he didn't stick around in Italy like Wallach and Van Cleef did.

Damn.

Off the list it would probably be down to Nero or Van Cleef.

Django/Keoma/Penguin vs. Angel Eyes/Mortimer/Sabata...

I don't think I can pick.


EDIT: By the way, it's Jack Palance night on TCM's Summer Under the Stars!

A couple hours & THE MERCENARY will be on!

It's a close call for me between Van Cleef, Franco Nero and Tomas Milian. Really though I love everyone in the list except Hill (due to how he got typecast), Bud Spencer and Berger.

Jack Palance is great from what I've seen too. I've heard bad things about Gods Gun but the pairing of Palance and Van Cleef makes me want to watch it. Palance is great in Companeros and The Mercenary.

GOD'S GUN sucks.

I tried watching it one night and just said 'Fuck it' and watched something else.

I don't really think of Palance as a spaghetti western star.

There's other Italian guys I think of waaaay before he enters my mind.

Anthony Steffen, George Hilton, Fabio Testi, Frank Wolff...

lee van cleef rocks!! i just picked up like 5 lee van cleef movies in the dollar store...lol im sure the quality will suck ..but hey they were a dollar man! gods gun/death rides a horse (which i started watching and it is good) etc... 1 dollahhhh...and check out palance in chato's land with the man charles bronson..he plays another evil sadistic killer ..good flick ...

Lee Van Cleef was the man. Angel Eyes has to be one of the most evil characters ever portrayed in a western.

Whtchoo talkin' 'bout hammergirl?

Girls don't like westerns!

Fuck it, I voted for DJANGOOOOOOOOO!

Of those listed, it was a draw between Nero & Van Cleef.

I had a feeling everyone else was voting for Van Cleef so I'll give a little love to DJANGOPENGUINSERGEIKEOMABURT.

Find it hard to believe anyone would vote for Milian over those 2, but whatever.

If Clint were on here, I might've voted for him.

The Man With No Name is undeniably the greatest icon of the genre.

My mom made me watch TGTBATU and Once Upon A Time In The West over and over again while I was growing up.
