Two Sons of Ringo
Another spoof from the Franco and Ciccio team in which the boys, who are running a scam pretending to be bounty hunters, are 'persuaded' to help a real bounty hunter discover a treasure by claiming to be the heirs of a deceased lawman.
Curator's Take
“Detailed above, another comedy entry satirizing the 'sons of' trend. It’s largely forgettable unless you are a completionist of Italian comedies.”
Why This Movie Is Important
Another spoof, proving that 'Ringo' was as much a brand as a character. It highlights the recycling culture of the industry, where nothing was sacred and everything could be parodied.

Did You Know?
The film's poster copied the layout of 'For a Few Dollars More' almost exactly, leading to a lawsuit from United Artists that forced them to recall the advertising.
