Lucky Luke is one of the comedy westerns that Terence Hill made after his earlier pairings with Bud Spencer. It's a standard enough comedy, gently spoofing western conventions and a good family feature given that there's no sex, violence, or bad language in sight. The film itself sees Hill as a gunslinger who arrives in town and becomes sheriff, setting him on a collision course with some conventional bad guys.
The movie was shot in Las Vegas with a handful of American stars among the Italian players. The story is apparently based on a popular comic strip and the script was written by a couple of comedians. It's far from the funniest thing that Hill ever made but it is about average for the genre. Hill's talking horse was my favourite character. The delightful climax openly spoofs the ending duel in THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY to good effect, any fans of the star will enjoy it all the way through.
