Un animale chiamato… uomo! is a spaghetti western from the late phase of the genre, in which almost only comedic attempts were staged. He is considered one of the worst representatives of this genre.

action

The two day thieves Bill and Jonny come to Silver City, where Mark Forester and his gang are absolute rulers. The two challenge Forester and even beat him in a shooting competition, with Bill winning $ 500 and the admiration of Parisian doctor Yvette. Then they hire themselves out as tax collectors and deprive the residents of their savings. The eviction of Forester's gang gives them a lot of money, which they leave to the residents to compensate; then they go their own way with Yvette.

Reviews

“One of the very, very bad ones. Characters and storylines come out of nowhere or simply disappear: Craig Hill left the film during filming due to the poor quality, so it had to be written out. That didn't help either ... "

- Tom Betts, Western all'Italiana

"Pretty lame."

- Ulrich P. Bruckner, For a few more corpses

“The humor seems to come from the brewers union's company party; the music seems cleverly stolen. Not enough reason to watch the film. "

- Christian Keßler , welcome to hell
