Production
Bandidos was Massimo Dallamano's first film as a director.[6] The film was produced by Solly V. Bianco, who had previously worked with Dallamano on Buffalo Bill, Hero of the Far West.[7] The film was an Italian and Spanish co-production, between E.P.I.C. Film (Edizioni Produzioni Internazionali Cinematografic) in Rome and Hesperia Films in Madrid. The film was shot in both Italy and Spain, including near Madrid. In Lazio in Italy, Dallamano shot at the gorge in Tolfa and along the Treja river.[6] Although Emilio Foriscot was the film's credited cinematographer, camera operator Sergio D'Offizi recalled that Dallamano lit and shot Bandidos entirely by himself.[8]
