Production

The film is an Italian-West German-Spanish co-production by DC7, Terra Filmkunst, and Copercines.^[1]^[2] It was mainly shot in Mazzano Romano, north of Rome.^[3] It had the working title Là dove volano le pallottole.^[1]

Reception

A contemporary Corriere della Sera review noted the film "tries to reshuffle the deck to refresh the western by grafting in a touch of the grotesque", but "the attempt falls flat because it lacks flair and inventiveness."^[4] Marco Giusti described the film as "crude, not even very funny", with a badly assembled cast and "a somewhat hackneyed premise.".^[1]
