Yup youāre right, actually downloaded it and will burn on dvd-r as my own made bootleg if you will. Chances of an official physical media release with English audio seem to be very slim anyway, so why not right? 
I just re-watched this, and it is still a minor Corbucci, but despite all its flaws it was enjoyable enough to raise my rating from 4 to 5/10.
Most funny line is when the oldtimer admits that the Apaches shoot well, when they actually had hit nothing and died by the dozen. Probably the most dumb Indians (and Mexicans) in any western.
Absolutely.
Iām not a lover of The Specialists either. Iād say itās mediocre but as Iāve said before itās a movie I find very fascinating, so much so that I watch it every few years even though I donāt really enjoy it and even bought Eurekaās recent Blu Ray release of it.
Yeah I think youāre right. Iām going to do the same thing myself with that and the recent upload of āPoker with Pistolsā.

Watched it in the early 90ās when BBC 2 screened it in the early evening, I enjoyed it but it was no classic (at the time I only knew about Leone) but in 2021 I bought the Warner Archive version and rewatched it for the first time in 25 plus yearsā¦ Have to agree with Tarantinoās estimate of the flikā¦ It isnāt great, enjoyable yes, but itās pretty importantā¦

There is now a new poll going for this one too. Head up to the original post at the top of the page to participate! (trust level 1 and above as always, of course).

I thought this was quite entertaining but clearly was a reworking of A Pistol for Ringo. Which means it was probably shot in the Summer or early Autumn of 1965. Presumably Goldfinger was also an inspiration in Johnnyās love of gold. Not surprised it was redubbed as a Ringo movie in virtually everywhere outside Italy.
Corbucciās statement that he left the movie to shoot Django must be taken with a pinch of salt surely. Directors canāt just walk off sets? Plus Corbucci apparently wanted Damon to play Django which he couldnāt do if the films overlapped. Django could not have started shooting until after Johnny Oro finished principal photography. More likely Corbucci quit during the post production process if he quit at all.
