    Life Is Tough, Eh Providence?
    This Italian western comedy has no shooting deaths, but a lot of fistfights. Provvidenza is a bounty hunter. He makes his living solely by catching his dim but powerful friend, the Hurricane Kid (Gregg Palmer) and turning him in for the reward money. 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. (allmovie.com)

    Here We Go Again, Eh Providence?
    Even more oddball and cartoonish sequel to Petroni's original. More Looney Tunes style comic theatrics starring Tomas Milian as the Chaplinesque Providenza. This one has less spaghetti trappings than its predecessor. The jokes, sight gags and pratfalls are non-stop and I can't even tell you what it's all about. It's still more polished than any of Carnimeo's out-of-control "comedies". There appears to have been a bigger budget this time out as well. (fistful-of-leone.com)
