Also seeking the treasure is an old Nazi (Pleasence) and his topless native wife (Sonia Infante), as well as a group of bungling young Americans.

Bloodless Carnage: Definitely averted. With many deaths involving throat-slitting and decapitation, there is plenty of blood to be had. |

comment |
Exact Words: When he gets caught trying to sneak his jewels out of the country Gringo points out that technically he had only denied finding gold; nobody asked about jewels. The official (who had previously executed von Blantz for the same thing) lets him live, implying it's out of respect for the sheer audacity of this argument. |
