Texas, Adios
''Texas, Adios'' (Italian: ''Texas, addio'') is a 1966 Italian-Spanish Spaghetti Western film cowritten and directed by Ferdinando Baldi and starring Franco Nero. It is often referenced in connection with '' Django'', also starring Nero, and although was referred to as ''Django 2'' in some countries, it is not an official sequel (like 1987's '' Django Strikes Again'').

Synopsis A two-fisted and taciturn Texas sheriff, Burt Sullivan, is a man committed to duty and justice but possessed by a desire for revenge.

Eventually joining forces with a group of Mexican revolutionaries, Sullivan and his brother soon find ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
