Need help with this spaghetti duo, please?

#1

Hi

I’m going mad in not finding this, I’m pretty sure this is not the Ringo duo of movies but from what I can remember the premise it pretty close to those:

Both movies have the main character (same in both) played by the same actor (pretty sure) and I’m pretty sure the director is the same as well. The one thing I remember about them is that even though the character has the same name the sequel is not really a straight follow up (as in the case of the Ringo movies). It’s as if they just used the same character because he was popular. I also kind of remember them to have been made within the same 2 years (again, as with the Ringo movies).

Sadly my memory regarding the story is very vague but I remember I was taken by surprise how good they were. I think it had the usual “one stranger entering a town where he is looked down upon at first but ends up saving the day”-story. It was more towards the serious westerns, not full of humour.

The character might have been connected to the law enforcement in one of the movies but then more like a lone gunman in the other. I remember there was som kind of difference between the characters somehow.

Thanks for any help!

Stranger in Town - The Stranger Returns perhaps?
Any other details u might remember?

Yes I actually stumbled upon those when “googling” today. I just don’t get any flashbacks like I should when watching the trailers…hmmm

It think one of the movies were pretty bleak, like “High Plains Drifter”-bleak. Dark.

If you’re misremembering them as Ringo movies, then perhaps Arizona Colt, which stars Giuliano Gemma, and the very different Arizona Colt Returns, with Anthony Steffen?

#5

The Clint the Stranger movies with George Martin?

Or maybe something like Django the Bastard and - let’s say - A Man Called Django?

Thanks a lot!

I do get a flashback when seeing Anthony Steffen in the Django the Bastard - trailer. Think this might be one of the two.
