Kill Them All and Come Back Alone / Ammazzali tutti e torna solo (Enzo G. Castellari, 1968)

Was just looking into the differences between the “uncut” and “English version” and jesus, what an unnecessary complication. I really don’t see why they didn’t just only release the “uncut” version with the commentary

Seems its just a difference of language in credits and a single shot of a prisoner in a wagon… and the credits aren’t even English, they’re French

I will watch this during the weekend. Beginning seems absolutely fantastic! But so was the beginning of A town called hell.

Interesting film with lots of (maybe a bit too much) action. I liked it :smile:
At the same time, the film felt really random: Chuck Connors grinning 24/7 and Alberto Dell’Acqua doing acrobatics (loved it :heart:). It also felt like the only thing that happened in the film was that the group went somewhere, started a fight, escaped and then repeated it.

Featuring a superb soundtrack by Francesco De Masi, and a thunderous main theme sung by Raoul.

I know what you mean. I first saw this on satellite TV in a holiday apartment in Almeria, 2009. It was during my last Spanish trip, and I was staying at ‘Roquetas De Mar’…a beautiful seaside destination.
The film was a perfect end to a perfect day, visiting SW locations.

Yeah, there’s lots of actions (never ending, at times), but the film is strangely compelling, and features knock-out performances from Chuck (Rifleman/Branded) Connors, and Frank Wolff.

However, add to this the superb (as always) Francesco De Masi score…and the film rises several notches above the norm.

Sure, not a knock out SW…but certainly a knockabout one…

As much as the sequences become over-familiar, and repetitive, this SW grows on me also every time that I watch it.

SW#80 for me.

Enjoyed it, but it didn’t blow me away.

Typical Castellari in that it 1) has very good cinematography / visuals with some interesting camera angles and locations, but 2) contained way too many fist fights. I probably made exactly the same comments wrt Johnny Hamlet.

As others have noted it is all action, with some good (but OTT) set pieces. However; the characters are all a little one dimensional. The balance of the film feels a little off as a result. Still it was an enjoyable watch but I suspect I might like it less on a rewatch.
