  1. Ben Badra is currently 63 years old and lives in Paris, France. He made two Westerns in Spain, the first one was "No hablo American" from 2013 where he played "Cobra" or "The Snake' and the Gothic Western, "Fucking Dead" from 2015 where he played "Fright". Now that later film should sound appropriate. But if you can't stand the vulgarity of the film's title, I'll call it, "Red, Yellow, Dead Fellow". Thank you for your time.
