      A western comedy with money guiding the plot.

      This movie was a hoot - very cleverly performed and a great spoof on Italian spaghetti westerns. Charity Jenkins is a handsome actor who appears very natural and at ease. I wonder what happened to him (Robert Malcolm)? I loved the Italian Mafioso inferences. There are several subplots that drive the movie - the money being the main one. Charity is controlling the delivery of the government's payment for the railroad, but the Italian saloon owner has other plans. So do the Mexican robbers. So does the robber-turned-padre. All of these combine with a little romancing, fighting, chasing, and clever interaction among all the characters. A fun to watch movie!

      Typical Pasta western with the unavoidable duo , Robert Malcolm and Piero Vida , in Terence Hill and Bud Spencer style .

      The film is plenty of fun , brawls , shootouts and surprise-filled entertainment . The picture contains funny events , gun-play along with fist-fight very much in the Terence Hill/Bud Spencer territory . Amusing Spaghetti/Paella western that packs action , thrills , brawls crossfire , and laughs. It deals with Butch Charity (Robert Malcolm) who is aware about a lot of payroll is recently reposed at a bank , while Bronco Kid (Piero Vila) is an outlaw who's taken the identity as a priest . Along the way, the beautiful sister (the always gorgeous Rosalba Neri) of a wealthy banker named Al Costello (Luigi Montini) arrives in Stanford , where some locals and a Mexican gang have their own schemes for robbering the money who is deposited at the bank and whose owner results to be Costello himself.

      An embarrassing S. W. with the regular protagonists forming an amusing couple ; as two bandits , the hustler Butch 'Charity' Jenkins : Robert Malcolm who is in charge of delivering the railroad payroll and Bronco Kid : Piero Vida , who has a high reward on his head , alive or dead . Below average Spaghetti including the ordinary ingredients as noisy action , shootouts , fights with jumps and leaps , and lots of humor with tongue-in-cheek . There are several brawls and fighting , including punches , slaps and kick-ass , but with neither blood , no violence , but hilarious confrontation . Disconcerting and non-sense screenplay by prolific Pietro Regnoli with full of ridiculous situations . Containing silly sketches , fun plot twists , and above all , it especially packs catching touches of grotesque humor and irony . It is an inferior Faglioli-Spaghetti Western in Trinity and Bambino style and that's why there is a cult to dirtiness with an appropriately goofy tone , customary issue in this sub-genre . The movie takes parts from Enzo Barboni or E. B. Clucher movies such as ¨Trinity is my name¨ and ¨Trinity is still my name¨. As the violence isn't crude but suits the light-weight comedy and diverting slapstick like the Trinity series . It certainly has an enthusiastic cast , with plenty of amusement , some very impressive gymnastics , especially in the massive fight sequences . This bewildering picture gets the humorous remarks from Western parody combined to features of Spaghetti . The movie gets the usual Italian Western issues , such as greedy antiheroes , slight facing off , quick zooms , exaggerated baddies , among them . The highlights of the movie result to be when there happen the hilarious brawls , filled with likable punches , and slapping ; furthermore , at the end takes place the bustling fights among lumberjacks , Mexicans and villain hoodlums . The picture displays lunatic characters and resulting to be quite entertaining and amusing . It does eventually outstay its welcome , and there are a surprising amount of fights and laughters . This isn't art , it's about having a good time . The movie starred by the good-looking Robert Malcolm who only performed three films : Supermen Against the Orient , Sinbad and the Caliph of Baghdad and this one . And of course , the great and wonderful Rosalba Neri , this myth of the Eurotrash played a lot of films in all kinds of genres : Terror , Giallo, Spaghetti, Sword and sandals , Sex comedy .... Here appears ordinary secondary actors who are habitual in Pasta Western and Peplum genre , including brief appearances from Spartaco Conversi , Dante Maggio, Fernando Cerulli , Lars Bloch, Pevarello, and Pietro Torrisi or Peter McCoy.

      The motion picture was lousily directed by Italo Alfaro . He was a director and writer , known for La ciudad de los vicios (1972) , Guardami nuda (1972) , Canterbury Probito and Decameron III prohibited , tales of Bocaccio (1972) . This Sentivano uno strano, eccitante, pericoloso puzzo di dollari (1973) was his last one , as he suddenly passed away at 51 , while co-star Piero Vida also died early , at 47 .
