Life Is Tough, Eh Providence? (1972)

This Italian western comedy has no shooting deaths, but a lot of fistfights. Provvidenza is a bounty hunter.

A fully armed horseless carriage is one of the inventive elements of this film. One of the film's sillier highlights is an amazingly loud and long belch by the Kid. -From http://www.spaghetti-western.net.
