Kill Them All and Come Back Alone
Kill Them All and Come Back Alone (Italian: Ammazzali tutti e torna solo; Spanish: Mátalos y vuelve) is a 1968 Italian–Spanish Western film directed by Enzo G. Castellari. Chuck Connors headlines an ensemble cast that also includes Frank Wolff, Franco Citti, Leo Anchóriz, Giovanni Cianfriglia, Alberto Dell'Acqua and Hercules Cortez. No woman is seen in the entire movie.
The story centers around a gang of robbers, whose boss (Connors) is tasked by a Confederate captain (Wolff) with stealing gold from a Union fort, before wiping out all of his men to save on their share of the booty. The film has earned notice as one of the genre's most action-oriented examples. It is a spiritual successor to Vado... l'ammazzo e torno (lit. 'I Go... I Kill Him and I Come Back'), another heist-themed Western made the previous year by Castellari, writer Tito Carpi and producer Edmondo Amati.
During the American Civil War, Clyde MacKay has recruited a group of criminals, each gifted with a specific physical ability or fighting technique. The gang is summoned to a Confederate town and hired to steal the $1 million in gold secretly stored by Union troops inside Todos Santos, an old mission they ostensibly use as a gunpowder repository. However, Confederate intelligence captain Lynch decrees that, once MacKay's men have helped him fulfill his orders, he is to "kill them all and come back alone". Lynch leads the group on their mission, where brawls, gunfights and more double crosses will soon unfold.

Sergio Citti, Vincenzo Maggio, Osiride Pevarello and Pietro Torrisi also appear in stunt roles as soldiers.
The film was a co-production between Edmondo Amati's Fida Cinematografica of Rome, and Felix Duran Aparicio's Centauro Films of Madrid. Chuck Connors was announced as the lead in May 1968. The star pitched the film, whose English working title was reported as Kill and Come Back, as "kind of a Civil War Dirty Dozen". Filming was announced to start on June 15 at Cinecittà studios in Italy. Due to the popularity of his show The Rifleman, which was still airing in the country, the actor reportedly drew a crowd of one thousand Italian youths upon his airport arrival. On Sundays, Connors, an ex-Major Leaguer, gave baseball lessons to local children at a Rome public park.
Filming continued over the summer with location work in the Spanish provinces of Madrid and Almería. In Madrid, the town of Colmenar Viejo, the Poblado Lega y Michelena set in nearby Dehesa de Navalvillar and the Alberche river were visited. In Almería, the gorge of Rambla Lanujar and the plains of Las Salinas provided desert backdrops. The so-called American set recently opened at Las Salinas was used as a Union outpost, while other sets were found at Rancho Leone. The Todos Santos mission was integrated atop the mountains surrounding Las Salinas thanks to matte painting from veteran Spanish effects artist Emilio Ruiz.
