They aren't B-movies And are two of my favourite films.

Have you ever seen the TV series Bonanza? That was our main source material. It's so bad it's funny.

The only thing that is similar to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is the music (well, it's the same). Besides, how can a parody be a rip-off?

The only thing similar was the music!?!

I suggest you go and watch the end of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly again. Anyone who knows that movie well wouldn't be able to avoid noticing the the glaring parallels between your movie and that ending. It's the same sort of shots, the same close ups, the same itchy trigger fingers.

Look for yourself

It's just kind of misrepresentative when you suggest that something is a parody of poor B stuff like Bonanza which was supposedly your main inspiration and then produce a film aping one of the greatest shoot outs from one of the greatest films of all time. It's a good question though how can a parody be a rip off or more to the point how can a rip off be called a parody. Maybe you did intend to create a parody, maybe you had forgotten what you'd seen in G,B & U but all you seem to have done is recreated (Actually quite well) that outstanding scene.
