Any Gun Can Play (1967)

Golden Eagle Films
Directed by Enzo G. Castellari
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

A bounty hunter who goes by the name "The Stranger" tangles with a gang who steals a gold shipment from a train. Our old friend Gilbert Roland, the Cisco Kid, is Monetero, the leader of the gang. Roland is up to his usual womanizing ways, just like when he played Cisco so many years before. The Stranger must decide if he wants the gold or the reward for their heads. A third man, a bank employee who helped pulled off the train heist, also wants a piece of the action. A typical spaghetti western, although the numerous fights are not well choreographed: the punches miss by a mile and they regrettably use trampolines for unrealistic acrobatic jumping effects.
