and except he rid a horse instead of pull a coffin behind him with a machine gun in it . our hero meet them in main street behind a wagon load with three coffin . any gun can play be a spaghetti western with an in joke on spaghetti western since the hero here wipe out the three killer . aside from a little too much comedy and especially in the acrobatic fight sequence and this be an above average oater . the notorious mexican outlaw montero ( gilbert roland of barbarosa ) and his gang of trigger happy pistoleros rob an army train transport $ 300 thousand dollar in gold coin across the frontier . director enzo g. castellari of inglorious bastard stag the hold up from a variety of camera angle that thrust you into the forefront of the action . the bandit seize the locomotive along with the coach carry the gold and separate it from the rest of the train that house the u. s. cavalry . while montero and his gunman keep the cavalry pin down and pajondo ( pedro sanchez of sabata )

the gold for himself . later and montero catch up with pajondo at the rio grande . before the bandit can reveal the whereabouts of the loot to montero and however and a cavalry sergeant shoot pajondo dead . before he die and pajondo tell montero about a medallion that serve a a clue about where he stash the treasure . the irate cavalry captain ( ivano staccioli of commando ) imprisons montero and but he can not loosen the bandit tongue even after he use his whip on him . infuriate by montero reticence and the captain threaten to have the mexican shot if he doesn not talk . meanwhile and the jailer let a priest speak to montero and but he really isn not a priest . the six gun tot stranger ( george hilton of the ruthless four ) masquerade a a man of the cloth and rescue montero from a firing squad . unfortunately and before montero be rescue and clayton ( edd byrnes of tv 77 sunset strip ) take the medallion away from him and keep it for himself . clayton be the bank representative that be send to safeguard the gold . he be horrify that the captain want to shoot montero . clayton career at the bank hinge on his ability to recover the gold . the stranger stag a fire at the fort to distract the firing squad and montero take the captain a hostage and try to escape and but the stranger shoot him off the horse . before the authority can verify that montero be dead and the stranger claim the body for the handsome reward he will receive and he rid out with the captain gracious thanks . no sooner have they leave the fort than montero men show up to rescue him from the stranger . from this point on and the stranger and montero and and clayton forge short live alliance among each other a they search for the gold . castellari and scenarist tito carpus and who have pen a number of spaghetti western such a a few dollar for django and another castellari oater seven winchester for a massacre and rely on clever humor and surprise reversal to keep the action fresh and fast pace . one cool scene have clayton seat at a table about to eat his meal when he hear some suspicious sound from behind him . clayton pour his drink on the table and see the gunman behind him with holstered six gun . any gun can play live up to it title . in fact and many gun do play and and at least twenty or more corps pile up before fade out . this western isn not so much a parody a it be a knock off of sergio leone the good and the bad and and the ugly . mind you and bad guy and good guy fall as frequently a ten pin in a bowling alley and but their death aren not depict in the brutal fashion of a leone western . any gun can play doesn not take itself as seriously a the aforementioned leone masterpiece . the three lead jockey back and forth for supremacy . each have a piece of the puzzle that will lead them to the treasure and but they refuse to share their information until the shootem up finale . lenser giovanni bergamini colorful widescreen photography be spectacular and especially the opening shot of the train chuffing along railway track with distant mountain peak rear up dramatically in the background . another great shot occur when montero test the stranger imperturbable calm . this scene happen after the stranger have rescue montero and the mexican minion arrive to save their chieftain bacon . confiscate the stranger six gun and montero take aim at the poncho clad tough guy and empty the revolver and place his well aim bullet harmlessly in and around the unflinching gunslinger . bergamini and who photograph castellari world war ii thriller inglorious bastard and frame the scene with the stranger in the background and his pistol in montero hand in the foreground for a pleasing and three dimensional style shot . meanwhile and francesco de masi lively orchestral soundtrack be a memorable for it own idiosyncratic melody a ennio morricone soundtrack be for the leone westerns . the opening song be reminiscent of a 1950 hollywood western with it catchy lyric and guitar riff . although it isn not a major spaghetti western and any gun can play be always entertaining nonsense with interesting plot twist and good performance and especially the indefatigable gilbert roland who be 62 year old at the time .
