This spaghetti western homage and slightly immature wannabe cult film looks interesting enough, with it's grainy, purposely scratched film-print look. The filmmakers get high marks for definitely knowing how to use a camera and edit a film successfully. The scenery is great. That's all fine.The problem is that they left out a few essentials like interesting characters and a coherent plot. You just can't replace them with references to other movies and pretentious 1960's style film school tricks a'la Natural Born Killers!Visuals are indeed strong and the music really good too, including a music video right in the middle! That's pretty much all there is to recommend about The Legend Of God's Gun.Message to the filmmakers : Take a screen writing class, or may the good Lord smite thy motion picture cameras!

Reading the comments and looking over the voting can give a good idea of what to expect. Most votes have been either ones or tens with more ones than tens. The lack of polish and film professionalism contributed to the ones. But then the film was by musicians, not experienced film-makers and actors. And there are reasons for those tens. In my view though the continuity was rough many scenes were well-done. Props were good. Excellent make-up. Original story (for me anyway) with a couple of neat twists towards the end. Music a strong point. I found the film different from anything I have ever seen, and I have watched lots of westerns. As for the lack of polish, I can do without the polish. So it comes to a matter of taste. If your mind can blank out certain weaknesses, you might really enjoy this film.

I wanted to put a minus 10 (-10) for a rating. Without a doubt the worst movie I have seen. I would be ashamed to tell anyone that I saw this movie. What an atrocity. I wasted an hour and a half of my life looking at this piece of garbage. I love spaghetti westerns right from the beginning. As far as the direction goes Leone was the best. Morricones scores are magnificent, I have them on cassettes and disks and originally started collecting LP records with the movie scores. This picture is a unbelievable insult to the names of Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone, and also to the actors like Eastwood and VanCleef, and some of those Italian actors who were very good. The actors try to mimic them. The result is disgusting. and an insult to the classic genre of the great Spaghetti Westerns.

I watched this not knowing what to expect. At first I thought maybe the spaghetti western cinematography was just part of the intro (which feels like 3 intros), so when it kept on with this style I was a little annoyed. As I continued to watch though, it continued to pull me into it's wacky world and I loved it until it's strange ending. The camera angles, old looking grainy film, and low budget acting (I think some of these guys are in bands) allowed me to forgive this movie's flaws more so than a bigger budget would have allowed me to. It has a charming sort of bad acting that is made up for by a cool plot and great characters. While not for everyone, I loved this movie and could see the Tarantino, Rodgiguez crowd eating it up.
