Synopsis
Vladek Orlowsky (Nero), an ex-Russian Prince turned adventurer, comes to hear of a buried treasure in Mexico. The old dying Mexican who reveals the secret, explains that nothing can be done until a certain Lozoya has been traced, because he has the map of the place. Lozoya is in prison at Yuma awaiting trial, so Vladek goes there and tries to persuade him to give up the map. Lozoya escapes, and thinking it is thanks to Vladek, joins him when in fact the escape was organised by an Irish journalist, Mary O'Donnel (Redgrave), on behalf of a bandit called "El Salvador". Chased by the Sheriff Randall (Janson), they begin a treacherous partnership and set out after the gold. With all parties having their own agendas, events do not go as planned.
Comment
In the early 70s many SW directors were not sure anymore if they should take their stories seriously or not. Generally a lighthearted action movie with crooks and revolutionaries, Viva La Muerte... Tua! turns some scenes of its treasure hunt story, without any necessity, into unapt comedy. Apart from that it is a lavishly produced star movie which looks sometimes a bit too calculated and therefore lacks freshness. But in the best scenes Duccio Tessari, who replaced Sergio Corbucci for this Companeros follow up, showed at least that he was still a fine director for westerns.
