The Longest Hunt

The Longest Hunt, also known as Shoot, Gringo, Shoot, is a 1968 spaghetti western starring Brian Kelly and Keenan Wynn.


Spaghetti-Western.net says,
This is the Spaghetti Western. The definitive example of the genre. It has a handsome yet mean anti-hero, a quick gunned pretty boy, comedy, saloon fights, Mexicans, twists, suspense, pretty women, and lots of shooting. Many would and will argue against this, probably opting for a Leone film to represent the genre. But Leone's films, no matter how good they are, are not really mainstream Spaghettis. They are longer, quieter, and more beautiful films and this is all mostly due to Leone's personal style. There are many different films and styles in the genre, but even if most are different than each other, they all have certain aspects seen in Eurowesterns with American elements thrown in. This film is purely Spaghetti.

    1. Scheduling posts is supposed to keep me from having so many Westerns so close together, but there are so many Westerns! lol
