  1. Finnish title "Näyttelijät" is some kind of mistake, it just means "Actors".

    "Verinen saalis" was Finnish theatrical title. Released as "Armottomat" on VHS.

    Robert Woods' hyperactive acting in this films must be seen to be believed. One of the most unbearable spaghetti westerns ever thanks to Woods' performance.

  3. The gun in the poster for "Four Candles For My Colt" kind of looks like a cap gun if you think about it. It has two screws on the grips to hold them in place and looks like it could be made from diecast metal.
