Son of a Gunfighter (Spanish: El Hijo del Pistolero) is a 1965 Spanish-American Western film directed by Paul Landres.[1] It was the last MGM film to be shot in CinemaScope.[2]
Russ Tamblyn was cast as "Son of a Gunfighter" in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained as a homage to this film.[3]
Along the Mexican–American border, outlaws rob a bank then attack a stagecoach and find themselves defeated with the help of an ace gunman who seems to be looking for the group leader. After being injured in a shoot-out with bandidos, the young man continues his quest, aided by the Mexican rancher the bandits were trying to rob.
