Der Rächer von Kalifornien (1975)
Santa Barbara, Kalifornien im Jahr 1836. Kalifornien steht kurz davor Mitglied der USA zu werden. Amerikanische Siedler und die Regierung diskriminieren die Mexikaner und nehmen ihnen das Land mit Waffengewalt und allen zur Verfügung stehenden juristischen Tricks. Daher fühlen sich die lateinamerikanischen Großgrundbesitzer und Viehzüchter bedroht. Sie planen eine große Schiffsladung Gold der US-Regierung zu stehlen. Eine ziemlich befremdliche Mischung aus Klischees des Italowestern, des Samurai- und Kung-Fu-Kinos, die zudem mit starken Stilisierungen arbeitet. Zumindest in der (gekürzten) deutschen Fassung wirkt das Ganze über weite Strecken eher lächerlich.
