Production
Ferroni directed Il pistolero segnato da dio under the name he used for Westerns, Calvin Jackson Padget.[4] It was filmed at Elios Studios and on location in Rome.[4] Richard Stapley spoke about the film, stating that his agents told him Ferroni was a "first-class director", whom he would "have a great time working with him."[5] Stapley recalled that he was furious with the director, as he was cast as "the baddie, which was not the most important part. I had never played a baddie before, but he told me that I would enjoy it, it's always more fun to play the villain."[5] Stapley described the film a having a moderate budget and a considerably longer shooting schedule, recalling that it lasted over six weeks.[5]
In a 1996 interview with journalist Robert Monell, Stapley revealed that Mario Bava partially worked as a cinematographer on Il pistolero segnato da dio, although Sandro Mancori is credited as the film's sole director of photography. Mancori had worked with Bava anonymously on earlier productions.[4]
