How it feels

A comedy western that spoofs the genre. A samurai, a white gunslinger, and a black outlaw are forced into an unlikely partnership. They go on a chaotic adventure full of absurd situations and jokes.

What happens

The White, the Yellow, and the Black (Italian: Il bianco, il giallo, il nero), also known as Samurai and Shoot First... Ask Questions Later, is a 1975 Spaghetti Western comedy film. It is the last spaghetti western directed by Sergio Corbucci. Differently from his previous western films, this is openly parodic, acting as a spoof of Red Sun. It was generally poorly received by critics. Milian reprised his role, with slight changes, in the comedy film Crime at the Chinese Restaurant. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
