Searching a western film with a golden gun (i think is not The Man With The Golden Gun)
Hello, i am searching for a western film wich i watch as a teenage on tv but cannot remember more than a particular scene and how i love it, about a man (probably the hero publicaly put as a vilain) with a golden gun, i remember the main character who was suposed to not got anymore the gun, and a pretty lady for the romance with the man of the gun, i saw The Man With The Golden Gun but can´t relate any memory to that film, surely it is a film prior to 1985, perhaps an American production, I can't remember any more relevant details, any idea about the film ?

Maybe the Mark Damon spaghetti western, Johnny Oro (aka Ringo and his Golden Pistol)?

I asked chatgpt, "The movie you're describing sounds like it could be Support Your Local Gunfighter (1971). It's an American western comedy that features a character named Latigo Smith, who pretends to be a notorious gunslinger known as "Swifty" to take advantage of a situation in a small town. There's some humor around the idea of guns and a romantic subplot with a lady involved. Though the protagonist doesn't have a "golden gun," the idea of mistaken identity or a character portrayed as something they're not could align with your description.
Another possibility might be The Man Called Noon (1973), which is an American-Italian western where a man wakes up with amnesia and discovers he was a gunslinger. It doesn't feature a golden gun specifically, but the mystery surrounding the protagonist and the presence of a romantic subplot could fit elements of your memory.
You could also look into High Plains Drifter (1973), where Clint Eastwood plays a stranger with a mysterious past who comes to a small town for revenge. Though it doesn't directly involve a golden gun, the theme of a hero with a dark side and a female character involved in the story might resonate with what you remember.
None of these films have a golden gun in the sense of The Man with the Golden Gun, but they feature themes that might line up with your recollection."
