Wissenswertes
The film's English dub is the first, and one of a select few, in which Bud Spencer provides his own voice. In fact, this was one of the rarest examples of spaghetti westerns and earlier films with Bud Spencer to provide on-set sync sound recording instead of usual post-dubbing technique which was a common thing for Italian films.

Patzer
One of the soldiers killed on the train opens his eyes as they set up his body to make it look like he is still alive.

Zitate
Dutchman: Some men die for money, some die for causes. They're gonna die for us.

Alternative Versionen
Many prints lack a series of scenes directly after the opening credits (with a total runtime of 4:30) that set up Luis Dominguez's character, in which he steals a peasant's identification documents to get through a United States border checkpoint. As a result, this version of the film simply begins with Luis offering Mesito a job.

Five men with a plan

Dutchman (Peter Graves) recruits 4 men for a train robbery: a) Luis (Nino Castelnuovo) who knows the details about the train, b) the strong Mesito (Bud Spencer), c) the gambler and explosives expert Augustus (James Daly), d) the knife throwing Samurai (Tetsuro Tanba). Half a million dollars are to be stolen to support the Mexican revolution. But they are heavily guarded, and takes a cunning plan to get on the train and take that gold. Of course, some unforeseen circumstances make it even more difficult...

This is a great, straight western story: find the right men, develop the plan, go for it! Everything feels right, you get the action, the suspense, a little bit of comic relief, I don't see what's not to like. I watched the uncut 105 minutes version, various shorter versions were distributed in other countries, for example the 5 minutes from the beginning which introduce the character of Luis were dropped in the German version.
