| The
Bang Bang Kid combines the rich history of the Wild West
with a unique twist, defying the rules of the Western genre
by blending medieval pageantry and science fiction with
the down-home cowboy feel that defines the Westen genre
itself.
Welcome to Limerick,
a mythical town rules by the iron fisted Bullock (Guy Madison),
a tyrannical crime lord who has returned mankind ot the
dark ages. With an army of outlaws, led by the diabolical
Killer Kossock (Ricardo Garrone), Bullock enforces a reign
of terror without equal in history. The greatest heroes
of the West have tried to stand up to the Monarch of Limerick
but all have failed. In a desperate manner, the people of
Limerick rest their hopes on Merriwether T. Newberry (Tom
Bosley, of "Happy Days"), a mild-mannered travelling
doctor who have never been in a gunfight in his life.
Unbeknownst
to Kossock and his gang, Merriwether has decided to use
Limerick to try out his newest invention, a mechanical gunfighter,
the Bang Bang Kid. Also joining the resistance fighters
is the lovely Gwenda (Sandra Milo), a woman who will stop
at nothing to avenge the injustice of Bullock's reign.
This is a fantasy
adventure the whole family and enjoy, with a surprise ending
that has a moral lesson even more immediate in our technologically
confused times.
