Kill Them All & Come Back Alone

Better than average Spagetti Western!
I first viewed this "spagetti" western back in 1970 when I was just a nine year old kid in the back seat of the crowded family car on a Saturday night double-feature running at my hometown's drive-in theater. The images of this movie were so powerful to me back then (almost 30 years ago) that I never forgot them, nor the name of this excellent film, originally titled, "Go Kill Everybody, and Come back Alone". It's never been available on DVD in English to the USA until just now, and I was incredibly anxious to see it again, though I am now older than Chuck Conners was when he made the film. I was not disappointed. The story is a well-conceived revenge tale set in Texas during the Civil War (filmed in Spain). Chuck Conners (star of the hit, "Rifleman" TV series) is a hired mastermind for a shady Confederate captain (Frank Wolff) who wants him to break into an impregnable Union fort to steal $1,000,000 in gold (tactfully mixed in rolls of dynamite). Conners pulls together a tight-knit...

A must own Spaghetti
Of the 450-500 spaghetti westerns made there are a handful that are must owns (of what has been released on Region 1 or 0 DVD). Django, The Great Silence, Keoma, A Bullet for a General, Mannaja, Sabata, Companeroes and anything by Leone are just a few. Kill them All and Come Back is another spaghetti that is a must own.

Here we have Chuck Conners (popular from his American westerns) has a group of ruthless killers and he is given a do-or-die mission by Frank Wolff (The Great Silence) to get a fortune of gold. His one one order was to "Kill Them All and Come Back Alone" but when it comes down to it can he kill off his motley crew?

Great anti-heroes, grand stunts, and extremely visual directing by Enzo G. Castellari (Keoma, The Big Racket, Street Law). If you have an interest in spaghetti westerns then you will eat this film up.

The DVD by Wild East Entertainment is also tops with a beautiful animorphic widescreen transfer with an interview and trailers.

Favorite Spaghetti Western of all time finally on DVD
I saw this as a young lad in Puerto Rico way back in the early 70's and the impression it made, last to this day. It was a main topic of conversation at our school. Just a great western adventure worth checking out, finally available after all these years! Chuck Connors leads a motley crew of "specialists" in search of wartime booty of gold. Kind of a western Dirty half dozen.Great characters,particularly Bogard-the muscle of the gang and the guy with the bazooka.Genial! Other than the not very original title,this one's a keeper. I enjoyed as much as I did as a kid and there's not many movies you can say that about. Absolutely loved it!
