"A Bullet for the General" (It. "El Chuncho, quién sabe?"), is a 1967 film which starred Gian Maria Volonte, Klaus Kinski, Lou Castel and Martine Beswick. Originally entitled "El Chuncho, quién sabe"?, it is the story of El Chuncho, the bandit, and Bill Tate (or El Gringo) who is a counter-revolutionary 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 "A Fistful of Dynamite" (also known as "Duck, You Sucker").
