Added DiffLines:

* KilledOffscreen: Early in the film, Peterson is confronted by two of Vasco's mooks at the train station. Peterson lets out a BondOneLiner, reaches for his gun, and the scene cuts to some time later with reports of "two revolutionaries found dead at the train station."
--> '''Peterson''': When you're about to die, you don't ask too many questions, ''amigo''.


Added DiffLines:

* LighterAndSofter: This is the only 70s SpaghettiWestern film starring Nero from the genre's peak which is a buddy comedy, and far more optimistic than previous Nero westerns like ''Film/{{Django}}'', ''Massacre Time'', and especially to the later ''Film/{{Keoma}}''. Most of the movie consists of light-hearted bantering between characters and Peterson and Vasco trying to out-snark each other between plenty of kickass action scenes, and doesn't touch upon dramatic moments as much as Nero's other outputs at the time. Even Ennio Morricone's soundtrack for this one sounds upbeat and light-hearted.


Added DiffLines:

* TitleDrop: The film's original Spanish dub, at least. The movie ends with Peterson urging his new allies, Vasco included, to raid a Mexican convoy, with "Vamos a matar, compañeros!" being the last line.
