Premise and production edit
Django enters a saloon and meets Wild Bill Hickok; and starts telling the story of various episodes of his life.
This premise allowed the film to re-use lengthy parts of footage from earlier films by Fidani, ...e vennero in quattro per uccidere Sartana! (1969), Quel maledetto giorno d'inverno... Django e Sartana... all'ultimo sangue!'' (1970), Arrivano Django e Sartana... è la fine (1970).[2]
Cast edit
- Jack Betts (credited as Hunt Powers)[2] as Django
- Gordon Mitchell as Buck/Butch Bradley[2]
- Dino Strano (as Dean Stratford)[2] as Dea; Bobby O'Neill; El Zorro
- Jerry Ross as Bill Hickok[2]
Reception edit
An Italian review of the time characterises the film as: "A Western film directed in the most terrible way".[1] A retrospective review, commenting on the poor quality of the film but also the financial limitations of its production, asks: "The cheapest Spaghetti ever made?"[3]
