action

After the feared Perez brothers have just forcibly married a girl, they are caught and shot by the bounty hunter Ringo. The youngest member of the Perez clan, Juanito, is spared by Ringo, as there is no reward on his head. Juanito vows revenge on Ringo for the death of his brothers. A murder attempt by the Mexicans in Coltstone fails, but Ringo is imprisoned by the strict sheriff Norton for possessing weapons. Juanito allies himself with the chief Sebastian, who wants to take revenge on the population of Coltstone for the expulsion of his tribe, and demands that the sheriff extradite Ringo. The sheriff refuses. When the majority of the townspeople have fled, the sheriff holed up in his office and, with the help of Ringo and another prisoner, was able to fend off the Indian attack. Juanito, the only survivor of the attackers, manages to take the sheriff's son hostage. Ringo can blind and shoot Juanito in a duel. He gives the sheriff's son his golden spurs and rides away through the ruined city.

criticism

"Skillfully crafted spaghetti westerns oriented towards" Rio Bravo "; a successful early work by Sergio Corbucci "

- film service

“Typical Western of Italian provenance: hard, exciting, but without human nuances. Unsuitable for young people and worthless for adults because of the blurred legal relationships. "

- Protestant film observer

Remarks

Ringo with the golden pistols is the third spaghetti western staged by Sergio Corbucci. However, it was only shown in cinemas in Italy and Germany shortly after its huge success Django . On the one hand, the film is still very much based on US models (large plot elements were borrowed from Rio Bravo ), on the other hand, Corbucci added unusually brutal scenes for the time it was made, which later became his trademark.

• Ruggero Deodato was Corbucci's assistant director on this film.
• Corbucci left the set early to focus on filming Django . In order to avoid problems with the distribution, producer Manolo Bolognini staged a few more scenes.

The film songs are interpreted by Don Powell (Johnny Ringo) and Valeria Fabrizi (Band of Gold) .
