Synopsis
This bizarre comedy spoof on spaghetti westerns was made in a hurry on location in Almeria, Spain. Simms (
Joe Strummer
), Willy (Dick Rude), and Norwood (
Sy Richardson
) are inept hitmen who decide to rob a bank. They encounter the MacMahon's (The Pogues), a quintet of caffeine-addicted gunslingers who ride motorcycles across the range wreaking havoc.
Elvis Costello
has a reoccurring role as a waiter who is always ready with a new tray of coffee. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
