Classic western story with a twist
The classic western story of revenge for an evil done long before. Best served cold as the old adage goes. Only in this one, the one shelling out revenge has a gimick that gives the movie its title; but I give away too much. Not a great film for acting but a couple of classic western actors almost pull this one above average on occasion. Spaghetti westerns need to be judged in their context, I think. This one is not one of the worst though it is certainly not one of the best either. The story is interesting with redeeming qualities - there I go again giving away too much.

Great Title, Great Actors, Bad Movie
What potential - A great title "Gods Gun" - three of the best tough guys ever, all with very respectable careers - Lee Van Cleef, Jack Palance and Richard Boone. What is right? Jack Palance comes off OK. At times there are some clever script elements. That's it! <
> <
>What's Wrong? What "Plan Nine From Outer Space" was to Bella Lagosi, "Gods Gun" might be to these three actors. "Gods Gun" rivals Terror In Tiny Town in ineptitude. The actors in this Israeli - no budget Western must have been very hungry. You watch this film and wonder - how did this happen to them? <
> <
>Van Cleef (who must have had the worlds worst agent), had all but lost his menacing charm. At this time in his career you wonder if directors were purposely mocking him -having him wear embarrassing costumes, wigs and at times singing awful theme songs. He must have realized he wasn't getting paid for this abomination because he obviously didn't stick around to loop in his own voice. He is ludicrously dubbed to sound like "A Sons of Hercules" character. <
> <
>Cheep sets, lame clichéd music, horrendously bad costumes, awful peripheral actors, stereotypes, and a bland and confused teen idle - Leif Garret. <
> <
>The whole thing would be unintentionally funny if it were not for the sadness of seeing three quality actors trying desperately to make this thing work. At least you don't feel so bad about Palance who went on to some better things - some quality Hollywood films and push-ups during an Academy Award ceremony. <
> <
>It is very disturbing watching Van Cleef, and Boone knowing that for the remainder of their lives they were hopelessly stuck in poverty row films like this one. <
> <
>"Gods Gun" has a very high cringe factor for those of us who were once entertained by these guys. Others who don't care may be able to laugh at the film. I personally could not stand watching what seemed like three old reliable pals being degrading junk like this.

Misfired
What a wretched, wretched movie is GOD'S GUN. A promising plot is ruined by inept direction, over-exposed film and an under-exposed Sybil Danning. <
> An otherwise competent cast is wasted and embarrassed in this one. Jack Palance, who plays the villain most effectively the less he talks acts like a hyperkinetic speed freak. Richard Boone, who usually earned half his salary with his voice and great, braying, sarcastic laugh, is dubbed by a voice actor! In fact, everyone in GOD'S GUN is dubbed by someone else, which is a mystery. The only explanation I can imagine is that the international cast were presenting such a polyglot of languages that the film makers decided to record the dialogue track after the film was in the can and the original actors were no longer available. <
> The only good thing in GOD'S GUN is the final scene showdown between Palance and Lee van Cleef. Unfortunately it's unlikely that a majority of viewers will stick around this stinker long enough to see it. <
