criticism
The Lexicon of International Films states: “A whipping comedy planned as a parody of spaghetti westerns. At least in the German distribution version, a film without a joke or understanding. " Joe Hembus attests to one of the" few successful attempts from the end of the spaghetti westerns to balance the genre with a joke "; the film is bursting with quirky owls and a lot of absurd gags. The Italian critics saw endless brawls and vacillations between vulgarity and humor.
Remarks
The end titles announce a never realized sequel under the title Ancora botte per tutti, amigos .
