Most people tend to mark the end of the Spaghetti-western era with the films Keoma (76) and Mannaja (77). But as we all know there´s the odd ones made after that point as well, no real classics, but some of them fun anyway. I just thought it might be nice with a list with all those films made after the deciline in popularity of the Italian westerns, i only know of a handful on the top of my head, so a proper list would be nice. Any help appreciated, only Italian films included and only those taking place in the wild west… comedies and pornos as well.
(if such a list or a similar one allready exist, a nod in the right direction is all that´s needed!).
For a start:

1978
La ciudad maldita - Juan Bosch
Silver Saddle (Sella d’argento) - Lucio Fulci
China 9, Liberty 37 (Amore, piombo e furore) - Monte Hellman

1979

1983
Al oeste de Rio Grande - Jose Maria Zabalza (spanish)

1984

Al este del oeste - Mariano Ozores Jr. (spanish)

Blood Church - Tom Vacca
Tex and the Lord of the Deep (Tex Willer e il signore degli abissi) - Ducio Tessari

1986
Scalps - Bruno Mattei
White Apache (Bianco Apache) - Bruno Mattei

1987
Django Strikes Again (Django 2: il grande ritorno) - Nello Rossati

1991
Lucky Luke - Terence Hill

1993
Jonathan of the Bears (Jonathan degli orsi) - E.G. Castellari

1994

1999
Wild West - Nicky Ranieri
Wild Bitches (Cacciatori di Taglie) - Nicky Ranieri
Calamity Jane - Joe D´Amato

2005
Palle in canna! - Guido Maria Ranieri

i´ll keep filling in the blanks, any additions welcome!

Tex and the Lord of the Deep?

#3

I was thinking about that one, but from what i remember it was more of a Indiana Jones thingy… only small western-like part at the start, or am i mistaken? was some years since i saw it (and didn´t like it much).

#4

And what about Jonathan of the bears, Scalps and White Apache?

These are probably all. Pretty unimpressive.

Some spain films amongst them, but why not include them. It’s a short list anyway.

There are also 2 Lobo negre films set in 1849 by Rafael Romero Marchent from 1980. Don’t know if these are westerns or more likely Zorro type variations.

#6

Definitely mostly a western, but with some Indy and fantasy influences.

#7

[quote=“Stanton, post:5, topic:1683”]1984
Arraphao - Ciro Ippolito
(sex or porn or both)[/quote]
Neither, it’s a stupid comedy according to the information i’ve got

#8

1978
China 9, Liberty 37

#9

Right, I changed it

#10

Ok, maybe should give it another try then!?

#11

Thanks for the additions, i´ll put them in the first list! Yes, it´s not that impressive, wich is what i figured when i started it, a good chance to track them all down. Could be a bit of fun.
and yes, the Spanish should definatly be included as long as it´s proper cowboy-westerns and not some kind of Zorro-variants…

[quote=“Silence, post:8, topic:1683”]1978
China 9, Liberty 37[/quote]

I´ve never considered this one a real spaghetti, because of two criterias 1) directed by an american 2) the swedish vhs tape of it is almost impossible to find, so it´s good to have it off the list when collecting swedish spaghetti tapes…hehe! well to tell the truth i haven´t even seen the film, can include it and get the dvd, just to make the list a bit longer.

#13

Return of Django.
From my recollection this, pretty damn horrible film, takes place in South America, does my memory play a trick on me here as well, like with Tex?

#14

[quote=“magnus, post:13, topic:1683”]Return of Django.

It’s supposed to take place in Mexico i think. If i’m not mistaken it was filmed somewhere in South America

#15

It’s more Rambo than Django, but it’s still a Django (and with Nero) and the locations are mostly not too western like, but also definitely a western, albeit a mediocre and unnecessary one.

#16

Ok, it will have to do then.
How about these two Stanton;
1980
Siete cabalgan hacia la muerte - Jose Luis Merino
1980
Chicano - Jose Truchado Reyes
couldn´t find them on the database…?

#17

I know nothing about them. They are out of a german SW book with no explanations, not even a short synopsis. Only the credits.

As this book also lists half westerns and films with only a few western connections, both maybe are not even real westerns. IMDB lists the Merino film at least as a western.

La ciudad maldita - Juan Bosch
China 9, Liberty 37 (Amore, piombo e furore) - Monte Hellman[/quote]

I never noticed, probably because I haven’t watched it yet, that this was directed by Monte Hellman… I was just watching Two Lane Blacktop the other night and thinking, I need to find some other Monte Hellman films. I had no idea he’d have an entry in my favorite genre!

#19

Updated the list with a few pornos, don´t know how much western content it is in those, and judging from the “giallo-porno” Terror in the grove, i´m not so sure i want to find out either… but seems to be the only westerns from Italy in the last years…
