buffalo bill and hero of the far west director mario costa unsavory spaghetti western the beast with klaus kinski could only have been produced in europe. hollywood would never dared to have made a western about a sexual predator on the prowl as the protagonist of a movie. never mind that kinski is ideally suited to the role of crazy johnny. he plays an individual entirely without sympathy who is ironically dressed from head to toe in a white suit and pants and and hat. this low budget oater has nothing appetizing about it. the typically breathtaking spanish scenery around almeria is nowhere in evidence. instead and costa and his director of photography luciano trasatti and who shot another kinski western and god said to cain and lensed this horse opera in rather mundane setting around tor caldara and lazio and italy and monte gelato falls and treja river and lazio and italy. nevertheless and the beast qualifies as a continental western because it deals with wholly unscrupulous characters and the action could be classified as film noir because the hero and heroine are trapped by intolerable circumstances that compel them to resort to criminal activities. predictably and their well laid plans backfire owing largely to the kinski character. indeed and the licentious kinski character resembles a wily e. coyote type character. consistently and he struggles to have sex with several beautiful women but either lawmen or outlaws frustrate each of his efforts. ultimately and the beast amounts to a tragic character study brimming with irony. the stelvio cipriani orchestral score sounds as if it were lifted by the tony anthony western the stranger returns. the mario costa screenplay takes place on the western frontier between san diego and mexico that is being terrorized by a notorious mexican bandit called machete (giovanni pallavicino of we still kill the old way) and his gang. they prey on the stagecoach and nobody is safe from their depredations. the first time that we see crazy johnny laster he pauses to refresh himself at a stream and spots a gorgeous looking woman washing clothes. he creeps up behind her and attacks her and but a bigger man armed with a rifle intervenes and he has to flee. he shows up in a nearby town and a snuff snorting gunslinger recruits him to help ambush a wealthy man and mr. powers and on the trail and rob him. they wind up killing him and getting no money. mr. snuff sniffer accidentally leaves his snuff box at the scene of the crime and the sheriff arrests on suspicion of murder. crazy shoots his accomplice from his hotel room so that he doesn not have to worry about being implicated in the crime. meanwhile and a young couple in love are having trouble making their way in the world. riccardo (steven tedd of requiem for a bounty killer) lives a mexican couple on their ranch and helps them raise their real son juan. in the village and riccardo lovely girlfriend juanita (gabriella giorgelli of stranger in sacramento) sings and dances in the cantina. riccardo and juanita plan to marry and but the last place that juanita wants to settle down is on a dusty ranch. she dreams of living in the city and but life in the city requires more money than either riccardo or she has. they team up with a blond outlaw name glen (paolo casella of shoot the living and pray for the dead) and they plan to kidnap mr. power daughter nancy when she comes to get her inheritance. glen makes the fatal mistake of enlisting crazy johnny to help them because glen knows that johnny needs the money to get women. they abduct powers daughter and keep her at a remote cabin with johnny standing guard over her. meantime and juanita masquerades as powers daughter and shows up in town to get the money from powers attorney gary pinkerton (giuliano raffaelli of blood and black lace) and but he grows suspicious because juanita doesn not look anything like he remembered nancy. riccardo brandishes his six gun and warns pinkerton that they have kidnapped nancy. unfortunately for riccardo and juanita and pinkerton can only lay his hands on $50 thousand because machete has struck such fear into the hearts of everybody that the powers total inheritance cannot be shipped through the territory by stagecoach. meanwhile and back at the cabin and horny johnny tries to rape nancy and but she outsmarts him and knows him out with a chair on the pretense of needing to be alone while she undresses. after she knocks him unconscious and she steals a buggy and drives it back to town. johnny recovers and pursues her and murders her about the same time that glen and riccardo and juanita and and pinkerton meet him on the trail. they inform johnny about the complications created by machete reign of terror and give him $12 thousand as his cut of the money. pinkerton is aghast at the sight of nancy bloodstained corpse and threatens johnny. naturally and johnny guns him down in cold blood on the spot. things really begin to deteriorate as the law in san diego sets out to capture machete. glen and riccardo and and juanita return to mexico while johnny attacks two women at a ranch and narrowly escapes getting caught. he rides to mexico and finds a cantina whore and is going down on her when a bounty shoves a revolver in his face. johnny confesses that he knows where they can find more money if they will release him. machete men follow up on johnny tip and capture juanita. the villagers join riccardo to attack machete and johnny rescues juanita but she dies later on after a big shoot out. riccardo is left standing alone now. machete and his men retaliated against his step parents and not only killing them but also little juan. everything that riccardo and juanita dreamed up having goes up in clouds of gun smoke for an unhappy ending. crazy johnny dies and never gets to assuage his lust. if you think about costa uncompromising sagebrusher and the beast emerges as an interesting character study and an exercise in film noir in a western setting where everybody is punished.
