Antonio Margheriti directed this gem which also had the involvement of Sir Run Run Shaw.
A bandit named Dakota (Lee Van Cleef) breaks into a safe owned by a Chinese man named Wang (Tung-Kua Ai) and finds only three pictures of various women.
Wang is killed by the blast and Dakota is arrested. Back in China a young man named Ho Chiang (Lieh Lo) is sent to the US and given one year to find the fortune that Wang had or his family will be put to death.
Before you know it Ho helps Dakota escape the hangmans noose and both go looking for the fortune. Now the kicker is Wang left three clues to where the treasure is and he tattooed it on the rears ends of three gorgeous women he knew.
Both men are followed by a crazed "minister" named Yancy Hobbit (Julian Ugarte). Now the three women are really what cought my attention in this movie. You have Patty Shepard as twin sisters, Erika Blanc and gorgeous Femi Benussi. Three of my all time favorite Euro babes in one movie!!
This is a great combination of East meets West with a slight mixture of comedy in an Italian western. I have never seen a film quite like this and it was highly entertaining.
If you get the chance to see it, do so. This is also known as "Stranger And The Gunfighter". The babes make this a must see, at least for me.
The cast also includes beautiful Chinese actress Karen Yeh.
