Production
Ferroni directed Il pistolero segnato da dio under the name he used for Westerns, Calvin Jackson Padget. It was filmed at Elios Studios and on location in Rome. 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." 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." Stapley described the film a having a moderate budget and a considerably longer shooting schedule, recalling that it lasted over six weeks.
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.
