Featured review
Their first official movie Spencer and Hill stared in together, a classic spaghetti western. Ironically it was Hill who started out as the harsher character while Bud played the more amicable guy.
It was an entertaining enough movie, but if you're looking for the humourous slapstick comedy we have come to expect from these guys, you won't get it. Unlike "They call me Trinity", it's a very serious Western with little in the way of humour, although I do find the shoot outs amusing as the guns seem to fire off more like cap guns than real guns.
What intrigues me here is the voice dubbing. Bud was dubbed by the man who was to do his voice in most of his movies; Glauco Onorato. Hill usually did his own English voice dubbing, but in this one he has someone else doing his voice, a much colder and harsher voice to match his character. I guess it's not surprising that they needed to do that, otherwise his character, Cat would just not have the same menacing aura to him. Perhaps for the same reasons Bud is normally voiced by Glauco.
This was the first in a series of three movies using these two characters.

- Alternate versionsThis film was released in three different versions in Germany. First in 1968 the original theatrical release which had a "Not under 18" rating and ran 95 minutes (ca. 12 minutes were cut). This version was released in 2001 on home video by Screenpower (re-rated "Not under 16"). In the 80s, due to the popularity of the Spencer/Hill comedies, the film was re-released by Tobis in a spaghetti-western-like "comedy version" (this version was re-dubbed and missed about an additional 14 minutes) with a "Not under 12" rating. It was often shown on TV and released on home video by various companies. In 2003 the original uncut version of the film was released, again by Screenpower (also with a "Not under 16" rating).
