Speedy Gonzales – noin 7 veljeksen poika (English: Speedy Gonzales - The son of about seven brothers) (1970) is a Finnish western comedy directed by Ere Kokkonen, and written by Kokkonen with Spede Pasanen and Vesa-Matti Loiri. The title refers to Pasanen's 1968 film Noin seitsemän veljestä, though the movie does not otherwise link to it in any way.

The basic premise of the movie is to poke fun at the conventions and clichés of spaghetti westerns, which is accomplished by the juxtaposition of serious elements with the parody that Pasanen was famous for. The resulting film is considered both a tribute and a mockery of westerns as a whole.[1] Just prior to filming, Vesa-Matti Loiri broke his ankle and couldn't appear in the film. He appeared in the film's sequel Hirttämättömät, a year later.

Synopsis

The outlaw Speedy Gonzales rides into town in New York to investigate the death of his brother, Mooses. Despite being met by resistance from the locals, he is determined to solve the crime. Meanwhile, two of the world's worst gunslingers are matching their skills and the desperate desperado Clyde is trying to rob a bank with abysmal success...

Cast

Vesa-Matti Loiri was intended play the part of Clyde, but he broke his leg in an accident shortly before shooting began and Melasniemi replaced him.[1]
