Any Gun Can Play / Vado … l’ammazzo e torno (Enzo G. Castellari, 1967)

I had a couple of hours to kill this afternoon and started surfing through Tubi. Instead of watching something I hadn’t seen before I was drawn toward giving this one a re-watch. I had forgotten just how much I enjoy it. George Hilton, “Kookie” Byrnes, Gilbert Roland, and directed by Enzo G. Castellari. What’s not to love? Just an all-around fun movie.

For sure. Like so many Castellari’s. Would love a good release of this one.

Rumor is that Koch has one in the works but when and if that comes to fruition remains to be seen.

Elaborate on the rumors?

I have to admit that it took a bit of deliberation before I finally remembered where I read this as it had been a while. But then I finally had that “AHA!” moment which was immediately followed by a “DUH!” moment. :laughing:

I E-Mailed Koch recently about the film, and they said since StudioCanal owns the copyrights to the film, they would have to approve the release, so I E-Mailed StudioCanal asking them if they would consider saying yes to a Blu Ray release. I’m waiting for a response from them at the moment.

I would be surprised if you get that level of detail out of contractual relations, especially from a larger corp like SC, but let’s see what they say. It would be great to see this one out on HD, I wonder if that would mean a 2023 title or one outside the current collection series or if they’d append to it :slight_smile: all hypothetical

I’m kinda doubtful they’ll give me an answer we’re all hopeful of, but it never hurts to give it a shot. If I just get a “thank you for contacting us” type of E-Mail from them I’m happy because I know they’ll have read it.

Bonjourno Amigos, believe it or not I did receive an E-Mail response earlier today from StudioCanal on my inquiry about a Blu Ray release for Any Gun Can Play. Unfortunately they’re constantly glutted with other E-Mails regarding other films in their catalogue, so they aren’t able at the moment to give any specific information on any particular film, but to keep checking their sites in the UK, Germany, France, etc., in regards to specific titles as they’re always setting release dates on physical media as well as retrospective theater showings.

I’m surprised it’s taken so long. Hopefully it’ll pop up in an Arrow box in the future.

It’s on Channel 42 in the UK tonight. Is anyone going to record it?

It’s been shown on Channel 42 formerly Movies4Men, for months now, the picture quality is no better than the dodgy DVD releases.

I just watched this earlier today as part of a 20 western movies dvd pack! I found it to be a solid spaghetti western deep cut from director enzo g castellari! A bit too long for what it is but still quite entertaining once it gets going!

4 out 5

Still no bluray of Any Gun… not even a decent dvd.

yeah It feels like one that would benefit from a decent home video release if nothing else!
