Wild East presents Spaghetti Western star Giuliano Gemma in the only Eurospy film he made, KISS KISS BANG BANG (1966, 112 mins, 1.85:1 Widescreen), a bizarre and rollicking spoof of the genre. Saved from the gallows by the British Secret Service, Kirk Warren (Gemma) is enlisted to protect a secret Swiss formula from the clutches of the evil Mr. X. To do that, he decides to heist the formula from the Swiss with the help of three old friends, an acrobat (George Martin), a scientific genius (Antonio Casas) and a safecracker (Pajarito), all while romancing exotic female spices (Nieves Navarro, Lorella DeLuca). Life gets silly when he decides to broker the formula to Mr. X himself and keep the five million he'll get for it. If the cast seems familiar, that's because they were all reunited from Duccio Tessari's A PISTOL FOR RINGO and THE RETURN OF RINGO. In fact, Tessari si both director and co-writer with Bruno Corbucci and crime film director Fernando Di Leo. Also in the cast are Spaghetti Western veterans Georges Rigaud ( A PLACE CALLED GLORY) as head of the Secret Service and Danielle Vargas (Good Jim from THE STRANGER RETURNS) as an inscrutable Asian Fu Manchu type.
