Cangaceiros de Lampião (1967)

 A couple of newlyweds returning from the church is surprised by the presence of a gang of outlaws hiding in their house. The bandits rape the wife and flee. The husband vows to avenge himself.

Brazilian revenge movie which follows the conventions of a Western, although in this case it should be called a Northeastern if it were to reference the Brazilian region where it is set. In its first section it exploits its criminal subject for shock value. After that, the film becomes duller as its engages in several extended fight scenes with rather poor choreography.
