Loosely based on a pulp Western, ''Don't Turn the Other Cheek!'' (originally titled ''Viva la muerte... tua!'', or ''Long Live Your Death'') is a 1971 comedy SpaghettiWestern directed by Duccio Tessari. Set during UsefulNotes/TheMexicanRevolution, it tells the story of a Russian conman named Dmitri Vassilovich Orlowsky (Franco Nero) looking for the other half of a treasure map, tattoed on the buttock of Mexican convict Max Lozoya (Eli Wallach). Their little treasure hunt gets complicated when bubbly, bright young Irish reporter Mary O'Donnell (Lynn Redgrave) wants to break El Salvador out of prison, wanting to motivate the Mexican people against the corrupt system, and get a good news story in the process. Hearing of this, Orlowsky, knowing that El Salvador is long dead, pretends that ''Lozoya'' is El Salvador. At first, Lozoya only wants to be an "honest bandit", but wears the "El Salvador" name like a thin veil. Then something triggers and he actually starts to care...

* {{Tsundere}}: Lozoya towards Orlowsky. He mocks and teases him and is brutally abused in return (to the point where it almost borders on sexual harassment), but later shows some respect to him.

* IntrepidReporter: Deconstructed by Lozoya, who suspects that Mary is adding fuel to the fire of the Mexican Revolution so she can get a story.

* BecomingTheMask: At first, Lozoya uses his pretend role as a revolutionary hero to get back at Orlowsky and get the buried treasure himself. But when [[spoiler: the Regulares kill his sister and nephew]], he starts actually caring about fighting back against the corruption.
