arizona colt (1966)

aka The man from nowhere
"Stupid gringos"
Needing men for a bank heist, Mexican bandit leader Gordo (Fernando Sancho) frees a group of prisoners, and gives them two choices, join his gang or die. But one prisoner manages to slip out unnoticed, Arizona Colt (Giuliano Gemma), and tracks the gang to Blackstone City where Gordo is planning to rob the bank.
Enjoyable western, with a morally ambiguous but still likable hero.

arizona colt (1966)

aka Man from Nowhere.
"You know it costs over 20 cents for every bullit i fire? I'll have to charge you."
Arizona Colt (Giuliano Gemma), an extremely cocky and vain bounty hunter, is imprisoned in a desert town when Gordo (Fernando Sancho), a notorious Mexican bandit springs him and his fellow prisoners. Gordo gives them the option of joining his gang or death. Colt chooses neither and instead escapes to the nearest town. It's not long before Gordo's men turn up and one of them kills one of the saloon owners daughters. Colt subsequently strikes a bargain with the grieving father: The killer in return for $500 and his other daughter (Corinne Marchand).
Entertaining western, with some interesting twists, though could do with subbing down some.
