The year was 1966, and actor Clint Eastwood has already established itself as a global film star with "Fist Dollars", directed by Sergio Leone. Leone's film was not yet released in the United States, but "Fist" was a hit that the actors in America and Italy noticed. Eastwood had previously established himself in the TV series "Rawhide", playing Roddy Yates in the 217 episodes of the show. Leone's "Tupal" took the already famous image of Eastwood's western hero and updated it in a more stylish way, Borrowing (quite strong and without permission) from Akira Kurosawa's "Yodzimbo".

The rest of the world immediately ran to imitate the success of that film and the already profitable Italian western, nicknamed Spaghetti West, continued to multiply. At that time, a young and forthcoming acting name Burt Reynolds followed a similar career with Eastwood. He had small parts in mainstream Hollywood films and starred in one of the main characters on a TV series called "Riverboat". He would also like the recognition of stylized Italian western under the belt, and even received advice on that effect from Eastwood itself. They were both friends. Eastwood advised Reynolds to look for a western director named Sergio, knowing he did a good job.

However, there was a little mixture. Reynolds has really found an Italian director named Sergio, and he really learned that Sergio has West, but it turns out to be the wrong Sergio. Reynolds talked Sergio Corbucci, the director of Angogo, Like several films with Peplum and crime films. Reynolds agreed to make him west of Corbucci, assuming he was the one who made a "dollar fist". Reynolds unwilling to agree to make "Navajo Oeo", a racist West that, then, the actor had long considered one of his worst films. The story is detailed in Howard Hughes's book "Once, in the Italian West: a Western Spaghetti Film Guide."

There seems to be chaos at the end of the production of Korbucci. Reynolds was looking for Sergio Leone, while Corbucci thought he would be able to secure the talents of American starfish Marlon Brando. Producer of Corbucci, the deceased (inexpressible) Dino de Laurentis, He gave him a script called "Dollar Head" and promised his director that Brando was already attached. Either De Laurentis lied, or Brando turned out, leaving Corbucci to find a new leading man. He said Reynolds, hoping to act in the west, however, is an appropriate replacement because he looked a little like Brando.

As a result of the film was "Navajo Oeo", a violent image of a Navajo (Reynolds) man fighting against the wicked criminal named Duncan (Aldo Sanbrell) and his army of pigeons in order to protect the small village and avenge his village. Navajo Oeo wants a dollar head for every robber who kills him. Yes, non-all Navajo-Actor Reynolds played a character of Navajo. This type of white-actors-like-no-no-career casting was unfortunately common in the Western world.

Reynolds is in the record in Hughes's book, saying he hates his costumes in Navajo Oeo and is strange. He was ordered to deepen his voice, who thought he did not do it well and, strange, he was asked to shave his hands. Reynolds also hated his wig, feeling that it made him look like Natalie Wood. He would later lamp the film, saying it was "so terrible that it turned out only in prisons and planes because no one could leave. I killed ten thousand guys, I wore Japanese seedlings and a terrible wig."

Despite the opinion of Reynolds, some spaghetti Western enthusiasts still talk a lot about violence and nibbling at Navajo Oeo. It can also boast a great result from Enio Moricone, the composer behind Leone's west.

And all this because Reynolds mixed his Sergios.
