Ringo and His Golden Pistol

Ringo and His Golden Pistol (1966) is a spaghetti western that I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows Johnny Ringo trying to make some money however he can, as a hired gun or in the gold business but he doesn't take the law, or much else, seriously. Meanwhile, a Mexican and some Native Americans are about to arrive in the town Ringo is in looking for revenge for the deaths of the Mexican's brothers. An epic shootout is sure to ensue.

This movie is directed by Sergio Corbucci (Django) and stars Mark Damon (House of Usher), Giulia Rubini (David and Goliath), Andrea Aureli (The Loves of Hercules), Loris Loddi (House of Gucci) and Ettore Manni (War of the Zombie).

The settings and shootouts are the best part of the movie. The shootouts are well executed and entertaining. The dialogue is okay too; although, the comedic elements were a bit cheesy. The drunken Native American cliche was blah. This just wasn't as funny as it tried to be. The storyline could have been better, and the acting is inconsistent.

Overall, this is a very average addition to the spaghetti western genre. I would score a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
