I saw this film for the first time few days ago. The version I saw was in german language so I didnāt understand much about the dialogue but that didnāt bother too much as the film is mainly songs and musical numbers.
I have to admit that I enjoyed this film very much but probably most of spaghetti western fans will hate it. Thereās lots of inside genre jokes like Rita fighting with Clint Eastwood look-alike and Django (dragging a coffin with his hands crushed). Hilarious title sequence too which is in Pink Panther-style animation. Oh, and Rita Pavone is quite cute.
I need to see this in english some day or preferably in italian with subtitles.
I might be wrong regarding the japanese DVD but I donĆĀ“t think it has english audio, only italian.
Little Rita was released on VHS here in Sweden in very good-looking english version (except the songs that are in italian) with the on-screen title āThe Crazy Westernersā.
Great quality and WS.
Iāve got the movie. It was released here as āThe Crazy Westernersā and all songs were removed to make it a āserious SWā. The final result is, of course, owful.
The complete version is shown on a local TV channel very oftenly and as Bill San Antonio says itās quite funny and very enjoyable. I really recomend this movie more that other SW that want to by comedies and theyāre not.
I have the Japanese DVD; perfect picture quality, Italian audio only, BUT with English subtitles. This is the one to own. And I do. I LOOOOOOVE this one
The flic will be on German TV tomorrow night.
I havenāt watched it yet and Iām curious about it.
Will it really be as funny as everybody is writing ???
Iāll let you know my opinion in a couple of days !!!
I find it pretty afwul and not funny except for a few inside jokes like Django. The title sequence is great though and features the best song in the film. Unfortunately I donāt understand lyrics since all the songs are in Italian and the German DVD doesnāt subtitle them. I just donāt understand how a dvd label can release a musical without subtitling the songs. Are these songs subtitled on the Japanese DVD? If so can someone rip the subtitles and post them?
I agree with you Silvanito !!! Watched the version including the songs. Unfortunately there were no subtitles so I couldnāt understand what they were all about !!!

Can see why people would not like this one, but is a fun movie to view if in the mood for something a bit different.
Bizarre moments in the film and Terence Hill looked a bit embarrassed during one of the musical numbers .
Rita Pavone taking the āpissā out of Django and Ringo was interesting.
Oh and we have Gordon Mitchell playing an Indian .
This film has all the elements I would usually dislike in a spaghetti but I found myself strangely enjoying it. True, I watched it in two parts as I fell asleep half way through but it I did like it nonetheless. It has a certain charm I suppose despite its clumsy humour, bad songs and lack of acting talent form Rita Pavone. Still, I liked a couple of the songs (the theme song is annoyingly catchy in that way) some of the gags were quite funny, Rita was cute and Gordon Mitchell found his perfect role; an indian who doesnāt say very much.
