Voltati… ti uccido (Turn Around… I’ll Kill You) — also known as Winchester Bill and If One Is Born a Swine — was directed by Alfonso Brescia and written by María del Carmen Martínez Román (Crypt of the Vampire, Jess Franco’s Vampiresas 1930, Django Kill… If You Live, Shoot!) and Renaro Polselli.

Ted Shaw (Conrado San Martín) owns most of the goldmines in town, other than just one, the mine of old Sam Wilton (Spartaco Conversi). Shaw sends bandits to take care of the elderly mine owner, but he didn’t count on him hiring Winchester Billy Walsh (Richard Wyler AKA Richard Stapley, The Girl from Rio, Dick Smart 2.007) to protect him. Then, Bill must fight Mexican outlaw El Bicho (Fernando Sancho, Return of the Blind Dead).  

He does have the help of several brothers who get tortured and buried up to their necks while the enemy army bears down on them. Luckily, good saves the day.

I’m always amazed at the longevity of Italian creatives. Brescia would go on to make movies in nearly every genre, often using the name Al Bradley. There’s the strange Ator sequel Iron Warrior, his run of Star Wars clones such as Star Odyssey (see this article for more on those movies), giallo (Ragazza tutta nuda assassinata nel parco, the late in the game Omicidio a luci blu with David Hess and 90s crush Florence Guérin), poliziotteschi (Napoli serenata calibro 9), mondo (Nel labirinto del sesso) and even the space, porn and ripoff hybrid The Beast In Space.

As for Polselli…well, I just spent an entire week on his movies.
