Cast

  • Jack Betts (credited as Hunt Powers)[2] as Django
  • Gordon Mitchell as Buck/Butch Bradley[2]
  • Dino Strano (as Dean Stratford)[2] as Dea; Bobby O'Neill; El Zorro
  • Jerry Ross as Bill Hickok[2]

Reception

An Italian review of the time characterises the film as: "A Western film directed in the most terrible way".[1] A retrospective review, commenting on the poor quality of the film but also the financial limitations of its production, asks: "The cheapest Spaghetti ever made?"[3]
