What happens

Old Shatterhand (known as Apaches' Last Battle in the UK) is a successful Eurowestern film based on the character Old Shatterhand, written by German novelist Karl May and part of the Winnetou series. It is a West German CCC Film production co-produced with French, Italian and Yugoslav companies, and filmed in 70 mm. Financed with roughly DM 5,000,000, the film was the most expensive Karl May western. Composer Riz Ortolani used a chorus for his film score. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in Berlin and on location in Croatia, including at the Plitvice Lakes National Park. The film's sets were designed by the art director Otto Pischinger.
