We continue our search for locations for “The Gatling
Gun”. After Doc Curtis tells Tanner to meet him White Valley in about an hour
the scene shifts to Tarpas riding to a hacienda to tell Ryckert the news that
the ransom for Pinkerton has arrived in Las Cruces. Ryckert and Tarpas devise a
plan to obtain a million dollars for the exchange of Pinkerton and another
million dollars from the Confederates for Gatlin’s gun. Tarpas suggests a
deserted mission and Rio Rojo for the two exchanges. Ryskert agrees and they
discuss their plans for the exchanges.
The short scene of Tarpas riding to Rykert’s hacienda was
filmed in the rocks of La Pedreza in Manzanares el Real. The hacienda is
located at Casa de Campo in Madrid and is the same location used for the Rojo
hacienda in Fistful of Dollars.
