Today marks the 50th Annivesary of “Arizona
Returns”. Directed by Sergio Martino under the alias John Hamilton it stars
Anthony Steffen as Arizona
and Robert Camardiel as his sidekick Double Whiskey. Arizona Colt and his pal Double Whiskey are still
hanging together, and Arizona
is still a bounty hunter. He soon finds out that there's a bounty on his head,
for a stagecoach robbery that he had nothing to do with. The real culprit was a
bandito with the oddly Anglicized name of "Keene", who's apparently
had some sort of grudge against Colt for some reason. Keene's also been plotting to steal the gold
from a local rancher, whose daughter he is secretly involved with. Arizona is captured by
the townspeople and hanged (although due to a crafty trick with a wire, he
survives). He then goes on a trail of revenge and wipes out Keene and his gang
in typical spaghetti fashion.
