Release
'My Name Is Pecos' was released in Italy in December 1966 as 'Due once di piombo (Il mio nome Pecos)'. The film was the first spaghetti western that started the trend of films with titles containing the phrase 'My Name is...' or 'They Call Me...', which followed with such films as 'They Call Me Trinity' or 'My Name is Nobody'. The film was released outside Italy, including the United Kingdom in 1968 by Golden Era Films where it was cut to receive an X-rating. It was also released in West Germany in 1967, where Woods' character was renamed 'Jonny Madoc', which became the film's title. 'My Name Is Pecos' was successful enough in Italy to receive a sequel, released in March 1967, titled 'Pecos Cleans Up'.
Arrow Video released the film alongside 'Massacre Time', 'Bandidos' and 'And God Said to Cain' as part of their Blu-ray box set 'Vengeance Trails: Four Classic Westerns' on July 27, 2021.
