Trivia
Ross Hill (who plays Matt in the movie) was the adopted son of Terence Hill and his American wife Lori Hill. In 1987, after filming Renegade, he was supposed to play Billy the Kid siding again with his father Terence Hill (playing Lucky Luke), but unfortunately, they had to shoot the film without Ross. He died in a car accident on January 30, 1990 when he was only sixteen years old, together with a friend, Kevin. The Lucky Luke film is indeed dedicated to Ross and Kevin.

Quotes
Matt: You Renegade Luke, ain't you?
Luke: Pleased to meet ya.
Matt: I wouldn't be so sure.

Alternate versions
In some cuts of the film an extra scene occurs where a second encounter with the truck drivers who are forced to run after after the Renegade and trailer takes place after their truck has been disabled. The second encounter of the running gag that happens again towards the end of the film as well, takes place after the hotel shootout where Luke stops in order for the truckers to try and catch up to him as it was done the first time. Only in the second instance, unlike the first, Luke does run out of gas and has to fill his Jeep with fuel in order to get it started before the two truckers figure out he is not bluffing like he did the before and actually have a chance to catch him. There is no explanation as to why this scene has been removed from subsequent releases of the film. The scene can be found in older VHS and international copies of the film.

Observations & Potential Recommendation Or Not

Watch or pass?

(Brief & to the point, sometimes not grammatically correct)

Assuming synopsis was read --explains little -- so I won't

Not a typical Terence Hill film:

Obviously not a Western -- hardly made by Italian studios post-1970s

A little different without his pal actor, Bud Spencer.

If you're not familiar w/their work, peculiar that you're here.

Regardless, you might like their movies.

Filmed in US, as since mid 1970s, prior to mostly Italy & Spain.

Not action-packed, & kinda slow, but does have a few fights (not in his regular style), & some vehicular things.

More plot/story in this, compared to his other flicks, albeit slight.

Audio can be off, as all his films, in any language. As far as I understand, all voices for any market were dubbed. Even though he's Italian & born there, his main language (maybe only) is German; he might not speak Italian (unsure).

In most of his films, actors spoke their native language & most were dubbed later, even for those whom spoke the language. For example, his last Western movie (or penultimate or close), "...Nobody" had Henry Fonda as the 2nd main character.

Cannot say yeah or nay to watch -- depends upon your interests. Hopefully, I provided info for you to decide.

How many will read this? 1-2 per year? Hahaha
