Franco Pesce WASN'T in ...You're right, Tom. Franco Pesce WASN'T in "God's Gun". He was still alive in 1975 when the film was released but he didn't do anymore Spaghetti Westerns at all after 1970. He died a year later in 1976 when "God's Gun" was released in the U.S.A. The reason why we use 1976 as the release date is because that's when we in America got to see it. It was released elsewhere a year earlier but sadly we had to wait until a year later because it had to pass the film academy standards test that determined which films got released worldwide and which didn't. There was usually a country that would ban a film for obvious reasons and I wouldn't surprised if this was one of them. Luckily for us by 1976 we got to see it here in the United States. Back then, if you wanted to see a film in theaters that just came out in 1976, you literally had to flip a coin to see which one you ended up seeing. For example, "If it's heads, we'll see 'The Shootist' If it's tails, we'll see 'God's Gun'." Almost always, you ended up seeing "God's Gun" because at that time most people didn't wanna believe that "The Shootist" was John Wayne's final film. On the other hand, if they saw "God's Gun", chances are there was a slight possibility that Lee Van Cleef would be making another film by next year. By 1977, Van Cleef would make "Kid Vengeance" once again with Leif Garrett and this time the coin toss was different. "If it's heads, we'll see 'Kid Vengeance'. If it's tails, we'll see 'Star Wars'." But I was born in 1993 so for MY generation, you had only a couple of movies to choose from. During the coin toss, your friend would tell you that if it landed on heads, you would sit with them throughout "Jurassic Park" and if it landed on tails, they would sit with you throughout "Tombstone". That was 30 years ago and our culture hasn't been the same since. Nowadays, when the coin toss happens it's between watching "Frozen" on Hulu or watching "Law And Order" on TV. My parents go for the latter. And this is why I love entertainment. It never gets old.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189974967302818072.post-82863350363455550042017-05-09T06:16:38.188-07:002017-05-09T06:16:38.188-07:00Sorry a soundtrack CD or LP has never been release...Sorry a soundtrack CD or LP has never been released.

The Imdb lists him as playing the Cheating Gambler, but there wrong! He plays the Puppetier. I can't remember his character name. And yes it is one of the worst films ever made by an Italian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189974967302818072.post-24794509739680428162011-04-29T12:49:52.368-07:002011-04-29T12:49:52.368-07:00All time Stinker!
