The boy claims to own land that various parties, including the slick and unhinged Sheriff Franciscus (Jack Palance), are eager to grab. Coburn gets dragged into a series of comic brawls, gunfights, and misunderstandings as he protects the child and finds himself caught between friendship and greed. --- 🎭 Cast Bud Spencer as Hiram Coburn Jack Palance as Franciscus the Sheriff Renato Cestiè as Chip Anderson Francisco Rabal as John Dany Saval as Mary --- 🎞️ Production Notes Known in Italy as Si può fare… amigo and in Spain as Padre por accidente. One of many spaghetti westerns of the era to blend slapstick comedy with action, following the popularity of the Trinity films. The film was a co-production between Italy and Spain, a common practice in the genre's heyday. Jack Palance, though a major Hollywood name, appeared in numerous European westerns during this period. Features a memorable musical score by Luis Enríquez Bacalov, known for his work in the genre (e.g., Django). --- 🧠 Trivia Bud Spencer performed most of his own stunt fighting, maintaining his famous open-palm punch style. Jack Palance’s performance is often cited as deliberately over-the-top, playing the villain with theatrical flair. Released during the height of the spaghetti western boom, but leans more into comedy than many of its grittier counterparts. Though not as famous as the Trinity series, it's become a cult favorite for Spencer fans and genre enthusiasts. The film was dubbed into several languages and retitled for international release, including "The Big and the Bad" and "Bulldozer is Back". --- #Hashtags #ItCanBeDoneAmigo #BudSpencer #JackPalance #SpaghettiWestern #1970sWestern #ComedyWestern #LuisBacalov #ItalianCinema #SlapstickWestern #CultWestern #PastaWestern #RenatoCestiè #MaurizioLucidi #SiPuòFareAmigo #EuroWestern
