Production
The time between when Italo Martinenghi directed The 3 Supermen in the West and 3 Supermen Against the Godfather was a time of backlash within the Italian film industry. With the rising popularity of television in Italy ticket, box office fell from 455 million to 374 million from 1976 and 1977. In 1979, this had diminished further to 276 million. This led to some filmmakers in Italy to move their productions to Turkey where they could create b-movies for less demanding and more enthusiastic audiences.
