I know we are familiar with Django, Sartana, Sabata, Spirito Santo Trinity, Ringo, Hallelujah. But what about other characters, like Navajo Joe, Keoma, and Minnesota Clay? Does anyone think they could have had the same treatment? (Official sequels and Unofficial sequels with a different character-type or use of the name to cash in on the success)

I could totally see the majority of those characters appearing in other films and having many adventures. Unofficial films wouldāve probably been more likely as sometimes it was hard to get certian actors to come back to a role, save for Lee Van Cleef as Sabata and Robert Woods as Pecos Martinez.
Burt Reynolds was reported as unhappy with the overall environment and atmosphere of Navajo Joe, especially with āthe wrong Sergioā, and I imagine he wouldnāt have come back even for 10 times his usual fee.
Keoma I believe was a one time only character, but Franco Nero did play a look alike character in 1991ās Johnathan of the Bears.
Since Italy in that period was making 50 to 100 films a year, itās quite plausible those characters got lost in the shuffle.

What movie was Pecos Martinez in?
Robert Woods played Pecos Martinez twice: Due Once di Piombo (My Name is Pecos/2 Ounces of Lead) (1966) and Pecos e Qui: Prega e Muori (Pecos Cleans Up/Pecos is Here: Say Your Prayers) (1967)
I would like to know if there are other Spaghetti Western characters like Django, Ringo, and Sartana? Where there anyone using the name Gringo?
Richard Harrison played a character called Gringo in the 1963 SW Duello nel Texas (Gunfight at Red Sands).
Giuliano Gemma and Anthony Steffen each played a character named Arizona Colt, Tomas Milian played Cuchillo twice, George Hilton played a character called Allejuia twice, and of course you had Tony Anthony playing The Stranger and Blindman.

Fernando Sancho is āCarranchoā is quite a few movies - canāt remember them all though.
āViva Carrancho !ā would probably be the first, in 1965.
