Only USA?

haven’t checked others yet…

I can also find it on Amazon UK here > Watch Viva Cangaceiro | Prime Video

But where is that elusive English audio? I only care because Milian no doubt did his own dubbing.

I don’t know. Was it ever released on VHS or on TV in English? Otherwise a theatrical print with English audio would have to be located…

Interview with the director in Italian with French subtitles.

Not on Prime in Ireland I can confirm!

‘The Magnificent Bandits’ (aka ‘O’ Cangaçeiro’) opened in the UK at Futurist Cinema, Birmingham on 14th January 1973, initially as a Golden Era presentation with ‘The Amorous Adventures of Uncle Benjamin’ (aka ‘Mon oncle Benjamin’). By 1974/75 it was second-billed with the usual kung fu movies.
