The Unhanged (Finnish: Hirttämättömät) is a 1971 Finnish western comedy film directed by Spede Pasanen and Vesa-Matti Loiri. It is the sequel to the 1970 film Speedy Gonzales - noin 7 veljeksen poika. In addition to featuring Pasanen and Loiri (originally set to appear in Speedy Gonzales, but unable to appear due to an injury[1]), the film also stars Pasanen's other stock actors, such as Simo Salminen and Olavi Ahonen.

The film was released the same year as Kahdeksas Veljes and Saatanan Radikaalit (which Spede only produced). None of the films were box-office successes leading Spede to not release any movies the following year. Regardless, Spede won a joint producer's Jussi Award for his efforts.[2]

Synopsis

The Lonely Rider (Loiri) and his Indian sidekick Tonto (Salminen) have captured the outlaw Speedy Gonzales (Pasanen), a ruthless gunfighter from the town of Njietponimaistadi. They embark to the town for the reward. After riding through the desert, without water, and fighting against Indians, they discover their heroism has brought them back, full circle.[3]
