One of the joys of the deep dives that I do into film genres is when they cross over. It's like I'm reuniting with an old friend when a director or actor appears in more than one category.
That means that I'm overjoyed to say hello again to Ken Clark, who played Secret Agent Dick Mallory in Agent 077: Mission Bloody Mary, Agent 077: From the Orient with Fury and Special Mission Lady Chaplin, as well as appearing in Tiffany Memorandum and Attack of the Giant Leeches.
As Ringo del Nebraska, this but one of thirty movies or more that use the name Ringo, in the hopes that you will think that it's a sequel to either A Pistol for Ringo and The Return of Ringo. It's also known as Savage Gringo.
Spanish director Antonio Román started the film and producer Fulvio Lucisano claims that he fired him before he could finish, replacing him with Mario Bava. Lamberto Bava and actor Howard Ross (who is in the Fulci films Warriors of the Year 2072 and The New York Ripper as well as many more movies) claim that Mario was not there and only did the matte paintings. That said, Lamberto is listed as an assistant director, so the idea that this movie was shot all in Spain can't be true.
This movie also has the title Prepare to Die, Ringo From Nebraska - I Am Sartana, which ties it into yet another Italian Western series! It was sold to American-International Pictures Television, which is where the Savage Gringo title comes in.
If you're wondering - why has Sam been discussing the titles of the film and who directed it more than the actual film - well, once you watch it, you'll figure that out for yourself.
