Yumurcak: Küçük Kovboy

Kucuk Kovboy (Little Cowboy) is recorded in Italy. The main title is based on a little cowboy (Yumurcak-T. Inanoglu) and the story behind him and Cuneyt Arkin. It's not a masterpiece but a joyful Clint Eastwood-wanna-be type Western comedy movie. Highly recommended for Cuneyt Arkin & Post-Western fans. (which there are few of them.)

The film starts off with a gunfight between Alan Steel (Hercules against the Moon Men), and the Hero, who accidentally kills a child in the duel. He throws away his gun and becomes the town drunk. Alan Steel leads a gang of stage-coach robbers who like to rape the women passengers and then kill them. During one of these holdups, the gang captures a young boy (the LITTLE COWBOY from the title), and decides to ransom him back to his mother (Evelyn Stewart). The mother convinces the Hero/town drunk to sober up and get her son back. The hero manages to wipe-out the entire gang with the help of the Little Cowboy and his sling shot. In one scene the Hero takes his spur off and throws it at a gang member, lodging it in his fore head. Pascale Petit, Alan Steel's girlfriend, can be seen topless in bed with Alan Steel. She apparently knew the Hero before and tries to shoot Alan Steel only to be shot by Alan. Alan Steel manages to collect the ransom from the mother but takes one look at her "and has to have her". The hero and the boy arrive and and during the struggle Alan Steel gets a pitch fork in his gut and dies. Other than Alan Steel, Pascale Petit and Evelyn Stewart, the rest of the cast is Turkish. The stage coach looks like a wagon with cardboard cut-out on the sides. Other than the solid performances by the three Italian stars, the whole thing is a piece of junk. Not even a good imitation.
