Howdy, pardners. VCinema decided to take a vacation from Asia and head out to the ol’ West for an interview with Mr. Tony Anthony, Euro Western film star of The Stranger series, Blindman, and more. Mr. Anthony was also a pioneer of 3D film in the early ’80s boom, in which he participated in the production of and starred in Treasure of the Four Crowns, and Comin’ at Ya! This interview took place during the anticipated re-release of Comin’ at Ya! to be produced with a technique called “Noir 3D”.
