Umbango

Umbango is that rarest of cinematic curiosities – a South African western filmed entirely in isiZulu with an all-black cast (bar the hapless 'Gringo') and produced in the dying days of Apartheid.
A product of the B-Scheme – a government film subsidy which saw scores of films ostensibly made by white producers for black audiences between 1973 and 1990 – Umbango is one of the few surviving Westerns from that time. Starring Popo Gumede and Hector Mathanda (channelling Zulu versions of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill), as Jet and Owen, this is a Wild West fable of good pitted against evil, and vengeance against forgiveness. When the merciless and powerful Kay Kay rides into town to avenge his brother's death, Jet and Owen must stand together and head for the final high noon showdown. (Berlinale)
