Line 3:
''Sartana'' is the name of a popular character from [[Spaghetti Western|Italian westerns]], most famously portrayed by Gianni Garko(sometimes credited as [[Spell My Name
Sartana himself is a very striking contrast to most Western heroes: instead of the grizzled, dust covered toughs seen in most westerns, he is impeccably dressed in a fine black suit and is witty and charming. He seems completely out of place in contrast with the ruffians he embroils himself with. However, this leads to the bad guys ''seriously'' underestimating him, with fatal results: [[The Gunslinger|he has absolutely impeccable aim with a gun (ANY gun)]], is always armed to the gills and is quite the [[Combat Pragmatist]]. However, Sartana's best weapon is [[Out-Gambitted|his incredible ability to outwit his opponent]]. Half the fun of seeing a Sartana movie is showing him and his enemies [[Xanatos Speed Chess|constantly trying to foil each other's plans.]]
Line 26:
* [[Badass]]: Oh so very much, Sartana's badassness is the reason you see these flicks.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Sartana wears a long overcoat when riding, and tails on his regular jacket. man knows his style.
* [[Badass Moustache]]: [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: When not in pursuit of the main plot, Sartana does a little bounty hunting on the side. He's DAMN good at it, too.
* [[Card Sharp]]: Sartana's manual dexterity borders on superhuman.
Line 39:
* [[Epic Riff]]: The trumpet and flute on the ''Moustache'' films always herald upcoming awesomeness.
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Has one at the start of every movie. The one in ''Funeral'', [[Quick Draw|where he kills three thugs in a row with a Winchester before the bad guys can even draw their HANDGUNS]], is probably the one that most showcases how much of an utter badass he is.
* [[The Gunslinger]]: A master of the [[Quick Draw
* [[Instrument of Murder]]: During the final showdown in ''Light The Fuse'', Sartana calmly waits for the bad guys by playing a pipe-organ in the middle of the dusty street. When the bad guys appear, he pulls some levers in the organ which reveal [[Hidden Weapons|machine guns]], [[More Dakka|a GATLING GUN]] and A FRIGGIN' CANNON. And the pipe-organ is a fully functional instrument. [[Rule of Cool|Holy crap.]]
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: He gets on the receiving end of one in ''Light The Fuse''. He gets better.
Line 48:
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: Pretty much his shtick.
* [[Professional Gambler]]: It may not be his biggest source of income, but that's only because he's got better things to do than play all day: if Sartana sits down on a table, people are gonna lose money, their temper and their lives, in that order.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Many of the guys hired to off Sartana are this. In the first flick, he's memorably played by [[Klaus Kinski]]. [[Werner Herzog
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Hand-rolled cigarettes, to be exact.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Can give [[Batman]] a run for his money in this department.
