I am also a fan of the Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies. Who are they you ask? They played a couple of outlaw brothers who seldom bathed and always ended up giving away the money they stole. They were lightning on the draw. The skinny one was known as "The right hand of the Devil" and his lefthanded brother was known as "The left hand of the Devil." We saw those for the first time at a theater when we were kids and liked it so much that we snuck through the exit door 5 more times that week to watch it again. Here are a couple of scenes from their movies.

A few strange western movies I remember, one was called "The fiend who walked the west." It was about this looney that went around killing people. It started out when he was in prison and this other prisoner was tormenting him so he ground up this little glass figurine he had and mixed it in the other man's food who died after eating it. When he got out of prison he stopped by a house where a little old lady befriended him and after talking to her for awhile he took a hunting bow that was hanging on her wall and shot her in the belly with an arrow. It did not get much airtime because of scenes like that. You can watch it on youtube. Here is more info on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fi...alked_the_West

I remember another western when I was a kid about pioneer families staying at an army fort during an Indian attack. The Indians were scaling the walls and two little boys were doing the army crawl and shooting at them with their wooden toy guns. One of them gets shot in the back with an arrow and says "owww" and starts crying. I don't remember the name of that movie and haven't seen it in over 40 years. Another movie I remember was about a kid,maybe 10-12 years old who picks up a gun and tracks down the two gunmen that killed his pop. He found them coming out of a saloon and told them to go for their guns. He killed both of them. These movies must have a lot of dust on them for setting on the shelf all this time.
