Spaghetti western characters

First sw’s quite often featured some real life western legends as a heroes (Buffalo Bill, Pat Garret etc) but it didn’t take long until the italians came up with their own western heroes for their own visions of west. I made this list of some of the most famous and some other lesser know heroes who appeared in more than one movie. Also added the actor who’s most known as playing the character. There must be some others too I coudn’t remember, anyone knows more?

Man with no name (Clint Eastwood)

Sartana (Gianni Garko)
Ringo (Giuliano Gemma)

Cat Stevens+Hutch (Terence Hill & Bud Spencer)

Cjamango
Joe

The third character from my namesake’s trilogy, Thomas the acrobat, played by Brock Peters (Ace High) and Woody Strode (Boot Hill).

you have to just love how sartana1968 absolutely out of the topic posted his informative list :smiley:
i talked to him on facebook, why he is not on SWDB anymore - he forgot password :slight_smile:

anyway - it’s not really a character made up by italians, but it is fictional character nevertheless - Robert Woods played same character in two (or three?) SWs based somewhat on Jack London’s writings - White Fang and Goldiggers, can’t remember the other one

actually, same for Franco Nero

i think, these should be also on the list, aye?

I miss that bloke a lot. :slight_smile:

also there’s a character named “Lucky” in Three Bullets For A Long Gun and its sequel They Call Me Lucky

Slim Corbett:

  • Tempo di massacro (George Hilton)
  • Dio li crea… Io li ammazzo! (Dean Reed )
  • Water (Danny Da Costa)

It doesn’t really count but “Beauregard” was the name of Fonda’s character in “My Name is Nobody” and Milian’s character in “Face to Face”. However, Fonda was “Jack Beauregard” whereas Milian was “Solomon ‘Beauregard’ Bennett” and the characters are pretty different in style.

This might be a question for “i want to find this SW” thread, but …
I’d read some time ago about two, or three, probably spanish (or mexican, or even brazilian) westerns, featuring the same character - enigmatic black clad gunman with dark long hair and he probably had a rifle.
I totally forgot about it, and now i can’t remember, on which site i’d read that. I’d say these films were made in seventies (but wouldn’t bet on it). Does it ring a bell? Anyone?

tomas, you probably mean Glauber Rocha’s Black God, White Devil and its sequel Antonio das Mortes - and it is really a brazilian venture

gee, thats it, thanks a lot, mr.tomas
