In the rough years of the revolution in Mexico, the hardened bandit chief, El Chucho, is in need of arms, ammunition, and a much-sought-after machine gun to support the leader of the revolution, the rebel General, Elías. With this in mind, Chucho attacks a government supply train and gets an unforeseen assistance from Bill Tate--the American gringo in the impeccable suit--with whom will soon become friends. Now, Bill is truly indispensable to the gang, however, could he be hiding his true objective behind a boyish and calm face? Written by Nick Riganas
Reviews:
"I agree with the other viewers how wonderful this film is. However they seem to miss the real point of the film. Made in 1967 during the Vietnam war, this film is really a comment on US policies in the world. It is a classic of the genre of euro intellectual leftist anti imperial US films of the time, beautifully done. Damiano in his films obviously likes and respects Americans, just not the imperial thing.
Regardless of your politics it is important to see this film for what it is really is. For an old lefty like me I kept thinking "where was this film in the early 70's when I was in college". I would have loved it then, as much as I loved seeing it now, almost 30 years after it birth." Written by jam55 on IMDb.com
"An Italian crude version of west and an Italian vision of the reality of late sixty years of XX century The late sixties were the same year of first feeble Italian crime/police films that explained the crude real life of the period named as "lead years", terrorism, murders and kidnapping. This film is the prelude to all these fact. Gian Maria Volontè superb acting piece also in a low cost production, dialogs very essential and with a little bit of anarchy sense. I saw this film at 7 - 8 years old with my grandpa in an old smoky cinema and was for me not bloodiest not like other actual films. A real must for all kids mature and experts. Note also the presence of a less known Klaus Kinsky as El Chuncho's brother." Written by Cambronne on IMDb.com
"Always been a big spaghetti western fan and this is one of the best. Damiano Damiani's 1966 film is set against the Mexican revolution and tells the story of a bandit - the wonderful Gian Maria Volonté and his gang who terrorise the Govt troops and relieve them of their weapons that they sell to the revolutionary general.
They meet up with an American (Lou Castel) who joins them but whose motives they suspect.
There are spectacular train attacks , mega-massacres and piched battles along the way but the film has a strong moral sense allied with an almost Marxist viewpoint.
On several occasions we see Volente wrestling with doing the right thing and doing the thing that will pay him. The script is exellent and although most is dubbed (as always with these movies)the storyline is as engrossing as the action. Klaus Kinski has fun as the mad priest/bandit and the whole thing looks terrific in a 2:35 print really utilising the huge landscapes.
There is a terrific moment at the end where one character does a simple thing and the other character suddenly realises what has been going on all along.
A truly terrific picture and in feel not that far away from Leones'later Fistful of Dynamite." Written by steve_b33 on IMDb.com

A Bullet for a General is a very good movie. I’ve watched this movie 3 times in the past 4 years.
Maybe your taste is very bad ?
@@adolfelmarjukic9133this guy… how can you not love gian Marie performance, and the music!
Loved the ending, excellent movie
All that AND the amazing fabulous Miss Beswicke!!!
Best Italian western ever.
Far from that...
Gian Maria Volonte in another great role (aft. Leone's "Dollars" trilogy, etc.)
Wow!! What an ending.
Best movie from Damiano Damiani ! Music is Amazing!
ohh im so relieved at the ending, that chuncho killed nino and didnt go to the united states
Why??
@@ComboMuster I'm not very good at explaining my thoughts on movies so bear with me. The ending before that felt stale, wrong. Something about Chuncho putting on a tuxedo and gelling his hair feels unnatural. Living in white man's luxury with a guy who turned all Chuncho's friends against him, got them killed or killed them directly. He killed the man's brother and his leader. While Chuncho knew he did harm and was ready to take accountability and pay for his crimes, niño was just incredibly ignorant of any wrong he did and did everything for money with no morals. And while he did technically save Chuncho and he gave him money at the end, so what? It shows that his entire belief system was based on the gain of money and he believed that anyone could be bought over. Chuncho killing him and leaving him was a way of showing that despite all the shit he did himself to get rich, he couldn't just get bought over like that and that he still had morals. He refused to be bought over, he was a free man! That's why I like the ending so much. He kills that little blond asshole, he refuses to get on the train, to the United states, he chooses to embrace his freedom right where he is. One can't buy friends and niño tries to essentially buy Chuncho with his dirty money that he got from killing his revolution leader, his idol. Chuncho never betrays the revolution. Perhaps killing niño is an act of revolution, a revenge for the leader niño killed, and all the others that died because of him, perhaps it's an act of freedom from the hold this man has on his life, from his dirty money. He said 'i don't know' when asked why he must kill him, but that's because he had every reason to. That's why the ending felt so right to me. The scene of Chuncho happily running away at the very end made me want to cry of relief. It was just so more like him than dancing in tuxedos and leaving Mexico. It's sort of like he remained the same despite this white man's influence.
This came out way longer than I intended and I don't know if this made any sense but I just wanted to give my thoughts on the ending. It was just so perfect to me that it was hard to explain.
Man what a great ending, Chuncho gave the money a chance because ultimately he was just a bandit, not a revolutionary. However he was still human and couldn’t betray what he knew was true about him.
Excelente
Nice movie
Best graphics
One of the top ten or 12 spaghettis of all time of course, but not as good as face to face directors cut....
I’ve been trying to find where to watch that movie, it’s really hard. Any ideas?
