Originally entitled El Chuncho, quién sabe?, A Bullet for the General is a 1967 film which starred Gian Maria Volonte, Klaus Kinski, Lou Castel and Martine Beswick. It is the story El Chuncho, the bandit and Bill Tate (or El Gringo) who is a counterrevolutionary in Mexico. Chuncho soon learns that social revolution is more important than mere money. This is one of the more famous Zapata Westerns, a subgenre of the spaghetti western which deals with the radicalizing of bad men and bandits into revolutionaries when they are confronted with injustice. Others in this subgenre include Companeros, The Mercenary and perhaps most famously Duck, You Sucker (also known as A Fistful of Dynamite).
