Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Texas, Adios (1966)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- According to film historian Marco Giusti, Texas, Adios was considered as a Django sequel, and was offered to Sergio Corbucci, who turned it down. A young Ruggero Deodato lobbied hard to direct it, but producer Manolo Bolognini chose his friend Ferdinando Baldi instead.
- During the shoot, cinematographer Enzo Barboni, who wanted to direct, pitched Franco Nero a more comedic take on the Western, but Nero was not interested. The idea became the hit They Call Me Trinity a few years later.
- Director Ferdinando Baldi worked so quickly and without frills that producer Manolo Bolognini stayed on set and ordered extra takes, afraid Baldi would miss technical details that were crucial to the Western genre.
- Franco Nero was Hollywood-bound to play Lancelot in Camelot, so that film's director, Joshua Logan, called him regularly during the shoot and urged him to stay away from physical scenes.
- Ferdinando Baldi had almost directed Django before Sergio Corbucci had second thoughts about it, and Texas, Adios became Baldi's first Western as a director.
