Leif Garrett also plays a vital part in the film, as a fatherless kid who brings the reformed gunfighter to town. God’s Gun was filmed in Israel. One day Sam Clayton (Jack Palance) and his gang arrive in the small town Juno City where Father John (Lee van Cleef) is the priest of the town church. After having a little bit of fun, the gang leave town = only to be caught by father John. Vowing to have revenge, the gang gun him down on the steps of his church and then set about taking control of the town while waiting for the stagecoach. However, little Johnny (Leif Garrett) manages to escape with a couple of their horses and rides off to Mexico in the hope of finding the priest’s brother (also played by Lee van Cleef). They soon meet and set off back across the border to clean up the town. Meanwhile Clayton discovers that he is Johnny’s father.
