We continue our search for locations for “Gatling Gun”.
The scene shifts from Tanner digging out the bullet in his hand to Ryckert,
Tarpas and his men waiting impatiently for Bishop and Belle Boyd to arrive at
the designated spot to exchange the Gatling Gun for the million dollar ransom.
Finally two riders approach and Tarpas tells Ryckert to go get his million
dollars. Ryckert and one of the henchman ride up dismount and Ryckert and
supposedly Boyd approach each other on foot. When Ryckert recognizes it’s not
Bishop by Tanner he opens fire but is shot in the return fire. Tanner kills the
other henchman and the shooting becomes general. Tanner shoots down the rest of
Tarpas’ men while Belle hides behind some rocks. Now only Tanner and Tarpas are
left to face each other.
This scene takes place at Manzanares el Real. This
location is seen in many Euro-westerns probably best remembered where Tuco is
shot of his horse by the three bounty hunters who are in turn shot and killed
by Blondie.
