Trivia

Lo ammazzò come un cane... ma lui rideva ancora was re-released in 1979. According to some sources, it also was edited into Porno erotico western, another film released by Pannacciò in 1979. The completely different synopsis and cast of the latter film taken into consideration, it doesn’t seem likely.
