A singing cowgirl dynamites her way through campy Spaghetti Western mayhem.
THE CRAZY WESTERNERS
A gun-woman. Her creed. Between outlaws, songs and love...
Little Rita has a dream: she dreams of a better world and she believes that all the evil in the world originates from gold. So she has decided to blow up all the gold she can put her hands on. In her mission she is assisted by the Indian Chief Bisonte Seduto and by her friend Francis. Little Rita kills Ringo and Django, but she is taken prisoner by the Mexican bandit Sancho who wants to steal her gold. Black Star rescues her and seems determined to help her, but does he?
When your Western has both dynamite and trumpets, you know it’s not strictly by the book.
If you thought the Spaghetti Western couldn't get any wilder, enter Little Rita—with dynamite, a dream to eradicate gold, and a musical number or three. Rita Pavone belts out tunes and drops outlaws like Ringo and Django in a campy spoof that doesn't spare the comic violence or the barroom brawls.

Why Cult
Rita Pavone's Little Rita isn't just quick on the draw—she's quick with a song, blending shootouts and showtunes in equal measure.
This film gleefully lampoons the macho tropes of the Italo Western, complete with comic violence and genre-bending musical interludes.
Little Rita's mission to blow up all the gold in sight fuels a plot as explosive as her dynamite, making this Western anything but ordinary.
Expect appearances from genre legends Ringo and Django—though they don't last long once Rita's around.
