Long Live Your Death (a.k.a. Don't Turn the Other Cheek!, originally titled Viva la muerte... tua!) is a 1971 Italian/Spanish/West German international co-production Spaghetti Western / action comedy film, directed by Duccio Tessari.[1] The film is mostly a parody of "political" Spaghetti Westerns (also called Zapata Westerns), like A Professional Gun and Compañeros.[2]

In the film, a con artist posing as a priest learns the location of a hidden treasure. He needs the assistance of a bandit, who is impersonating a deceased revolutionary. The bandit has a treasure map tattooed on his buttocks.
