5.0 out of 5 stars
Better than average Spagetti Western!,
This review is from: Kill Them All & Come Back Alone (DVD)
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 squad of killers, each with his own deadly speciality, to pull off the job. Once the gold is in hand, suspicions within the group begin, leading to bloody betrayal. The fight for the gold continues through a series of events (rafting it over a river, a brutal stop at a Union labor camp, a series of intelligently-written double-crossings, etc.) which all leads up to a climactic, surprise ending. This is the film's first US release, and on DVD, it's a slightly better than average print, which improves in quality ten minutes after the film begins. There are a surprising number of extra goodies included which I found informative and enjoyable. The sound quality is excellent, and the soundtrack by DeMasi ("Lone Wolf McQuade") features a memorable score throughout. The amazing (and obviously, very dangerous) stunt work is truly spectacular and far more original than any I've ever seen - even in modern movies of today with all the computerized special effects. Of all Enzo G. Catellari's films, critics consider this one his best, and I have to agree. Chuck Conners, an American Western star already, adds a real touch of charisma and panache to this film, which is much better than the average films of its genre at the time. The price tag for this DVD, which is packaged in a better-than-average case, and includes all the original theatrically realeased posters in color, is definitely worth it. If you want to add a few of the best Westerns produced during the 60's and early 70's to your collection, or give it as a gift to someone you know who loves action films, then this one is a real winner. You won't be disappointed.

A must own Spaghetti,
By Lunar Strain "Thrash, don't mind if I do" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kill Them All & Come Back Alone (DVD)
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,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kill Them All & Come Back Alone (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!
