Today We Kill... Tomorrow We Die! (Italian: Oggi a me... domani a te), is a 1968 Spaghetti Western film. It is the directorial debut of Tonino Cervi, who co-wrote the film with Dario Argento.
Bill Kiowa is released after five years in jail and hires four skilled men for his gang: tough O'Bannion; Sheriff Jeff Milton; gunman Bunny Fox; and gambler Francis 'Colt' Moran, using the money his father gave him. Bill seeks revenge against the sadistic leader of the Comancheros, James Elfego, who killed his Indian wife Mirana Kiowa and framed Bill, sending him to prison.
Tropes:
- And This Is for...: Just before he kills Elfago, Kiowa throws Elfago's words back at him: telling him "This is for the 'dirty Inidain squaw' you killed".
- Bench Breaker: O'Bannion is tied to a chair with one of the Comancheros advancing on him with a set of brass knuckles. Just as the Comanchero gets to him, O'Bannion manages to rip the the chair apart with his Stout Strength.

- Blasting It Out of Their Hands: O'Bannion charges out of the trading post after the Comancheros only to find that Efago has arrived with the rest of his gang. O'Bannion starts to riase his gun only to have Elfago shoot it out of his hand. Later, Kiowa shoots the machete out of Elfago's hand as Elfago is about to kill O'Bannion.
- Bulletproof Human Shield: O'Bannion pretends to be dead to lure the remaining Comancheros out to investigate, then grabs one of them to use as a shhield as Milton and Fox unload on them.
- Destination Defenestration: During the fight in the trading post, O'Bannion hoists one of the Comancheros over his head and hurls him out through the window.

- Just Got Out of Jail: The movie opens with Bill Kiowa being released after spending five years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
