"Classic Americana and avant-garde European cinema sensibilities meet Zen Buddhism and the Bible as a master gunfighter and comic mystic must defeat his four sharp-shooting rivals on an increasingly bizarre path to allegorical self-enlightenment and surreal resurrection."
"El Topo is the ultimate black leather clad gunfighter/mystic who cleans up an isolated town of evil outlaws. He sets out to kill the four Masters of the desert. After doing so, El Topo is tormented by what he has done and in turn is killed himself. He is then resurrected and takes on a new persona, which leads him on a journey to rectify the injustices that overwhelmed his past life."
"A gunfighter riding through the desert with his seven year old son comes across a massacre and hunts down and kills the murderers. Then, accompanied by two women, he confronts and defeats four master gunslingers. Left wounded in the desert, he is taken in by a village of outcasts and joins them in a quest that leads to a bloody and tragic end."
""El Topo travels through a desert on horseback with his naked young son. They come across a town whose inhabitants have been slaughtered, and El Topo hunts down and kills the perpetrators and their leader, a fat balding Colonel. El Topo abandons his son to the monks of the settlement's mission and rides off with a woman whom the Colonel had kept as a slave. El Topo names the woman Mara, and she convinces him to defeat four great gun masters to become the greatest gunman in the land. Each gun master represents a particular religion or philosophy, and El Topo learns from each of them before instigating a duel. El Topo is victorious each time, not through superior skill but through trickery or luck. After the first duel, a black-clad woman with a male voice finds the couple and guides them to the remaining gun masters. As he kills each master, El Topo has increasing doubts about his mission, but Mara persuades him to continue. Having killed all four, El Topo is ridden with guilt, destroys his own gun and revisits the places where he killed those masters, finding their graves swarming with bees. The unnamed woman confronts El Topo and shoots him multiple times in the manner of stigmata. Mara then betrays him and rides off with the woman, while El Topo collapses and is carried away by a group of dwarves and mutants. Several years later El Topo awakes in a cave, to find that the tribe of deformed outcasts have taken care of him and set him up as a God-like figure, while he has been asleep and meditating on the gun masters' "four lessons". The outcasts dwell in a system of caves which have been blocked in - the only exit is out of their reach due to their deformities. When El Topo awakes, he is "born again" and decides to help the outcasts escape. He is able to reach the exit and, together with a dwarf girl who becomes his lover, performs for the depraved cultists of the neighbouring town to raise money for dynamite. A young monk arrives in the town to be the new priest, but is disgusted by the perverted form of religion the cultists practice. He also discovers that El Topo is his father, who had abandoned him to the mission. He threatens to kill El Topo, but agrees to wait until he has succeeded in freeing the outcasts. With the help of his now-pregnant girlfriend and son, El Topo creates a new exit from the cave. The outcasts come streaming out, but as they enter the town they are shot down by the cultists. El Topo helplessly witnesses his community being slaughtered and is shot himself. Ignoring his own wounds he massacres the cultists, then takes an oil lamp and immolates himself. His girlfriend gives birth at the same time as his death, and she and his son make a grave for his remains. This becomes a beehive like the gun masters' graves. As the film ends, El Topo's son, girlfriend and baby ride off on horseback, the son now wearing his father's clothes." -- Wikipedia."
"After coming upon the scene of a horrifying massacre, roaming gunslinger El Topo demands justice. He learns that the atrocity was committed by someone named The Colonel, and after tracking down the villain and his equally vile men, the mystery man murders them all. A young woman is so grateful to be released from the Colonel's bondage that she agrees to ride with El Topo. But she does not love him and will only pledge her devotion if he kills the four greatest guns in the desert. One by one, El Topo finds the fiends and destroys them. But he is eventually double-crossed, finding himself left for dead among an underground collective of deformed freaks. Vowing to change his ways, he commits to building a tunnel between the cave and the local town. Little does he know that the people in the surrounding village purposefully shunned these lost souls and will do anything--including murder--to keep them away."
"Een revolverheld moet vier gevaarlijke proeven doorstaan."
"Un abilissimo pistolero, soprannominato "El Topo", lascia il figlioletto Miguel in una missione francescana e accetta, per amore di una donna, di misurarsi in duello con "4 Maestri" invincibili. Li batte, ma lei lo tradisce sparandogli al petto. Quando il pistolero si risveglia è all'interno di una montagna, dove è stato trascinato da una comunità di esseri deformi.

"El Topo es un pistolero que se enfrenta a una banda de fetichistas, dirigidas por un coronel lascivo, que mantiene aterrorizada a una congregación franciscana, violando curas y ejecutando a los habitantes del pueblo. Tras liquidarlos, va en buscad e los cuatro Maestros del revólver y también los derrota. Abatido sobre un puente colgante, el Topo será rescatado por un grupo de enanos y minúsvalidos."@es
"Fue la película de culto que marcó un hito y dio comienzo a todo el fenómeno de las funciones de medianoche de la contra cultura en la locura de los años sesenta. El Topo es la película de la que más se ha hablado, es un viaje mental semejante al del Western más controversial que jamás se ha hecho; trasformando la forma en la que el público arriesgando, en búsqueda de una alternativa a los éxitos de Hollywood, ve películas vanguardistas y subterráneas. Las delicadezas del cine clásico estadounidense y europeo se encuentran con la Biblia del Budismo Zen con el Topo, un pistolero y místico cósmico (interpretado por el esritor/director Alejandro Jodorowsky) que debe vencer a sus cuantro rivales, maestros del tiroteo, en un camino -siempre extraño- hacia la auto iluminación y la resurrección surreal."@es
"Un justicier parcourt en un voyage initiatique un vieil ouest mythique où il doit, pour atteindre la "Connaissance", vaincre les quatre maîtres de l'univers. Chaque duel est un combat où s'étreignent le sang et le sexe."

Il part avec Mara, la femme du Colonel puis laisse son fils au monastère. Mara le met ensuite au défi de vaincre les maîtres du désert pour atteindre la " Connaissance "."
""El Topo decides to confront warrior Masters on a trans-formative desert journey he begins with his 6 year old son, who must bury his childhood totems to become a man. El Topo (the mole) claims to be God, while dressed as a gunfighter in black, riding a horse through a spiritual, mystical landscape strewn with old Western movie, and ancient Eastern religious symbols."--IMDb."

"Película de culto, considerada el punto de referencia donde empezó el fenómeno de la contracultura americana de los años 70. El Topo es un pistolero que se enfrenta a una banda de fetichistas, dirigida por un coronel lascivo, que mantiene aterrorizada a una congregación franciscana, violando curas y ejecutando a los habitantes del pueblo. Tras liquidarlos, va en busca de los cuatro "Maestros del Revólver" y también los derrota. Abatido sobre un puente colgante, el Topo será rescatado por un grupo de enanos y minusválidos."@es
""La película toma lugar en dos escenarios. La primera mitad, en un desierto sin nombre, involucra el viaje del protagonista y su hijo para derrotar a los cuatro maestros del duelo con pistola. Cuando El Topo encuentra a un maestro, éste le enseña una lección, luego de lo cual se baten a duelo, y El Topo hace trampa cada vez. El último maestro se mata a sí mismo, en una demostración de la poca importancia de la vida. La primera mitad termina con la traición a El Topo y su frustrado asesinato. La segunda mitad de la película toma lugar años después, luego que El Topo es rescatado por una banda de marginados deformes, salvándolo de la muerte. La banda conduce a El Topo a su comunidad subterránea, donde él, estando en coma, medita acerca de las cuatro lecciones por varios años. Cuando despierta, "renace" con la ayuda de los marginados, y se va en busca de la libertad de los deformes desde su prisión subterránea. Con la ayuda de su novia enana y su hijo ya mayor, El Topo cava una salida de la cueva, viendo que los de su comunidad son asesinados por los habitantes de un pueblo cercano. Montando en cólera, El Topo los asesina y pone gasolina sobre sí mismo y se enciende, una vez que ha aprendido todo lo que podía sobre la vida. El hijo de El Topo y la novia sobreviven el calvario y cavan una tumba para sus restos, la cual más tarde se transforma en una colmena llena de miel (símbolo religioso de un hombre sagrado). Se especula que El Topo se habría de reencarnar, a través de su novia embarazada, en una secuela aún no realizada."--Wikipedia."@es
"El Topo decides to confront warrior Masters on a trans-formative desert journey he begins with his 6 year old son, who must bury his childhood totems to become a man. El Topo claims to be God, while dressed as a gunfighter in black, riding a horse through a spiritual, mystical landscape strewn with old Western movie, and ancient Eastern religious symbols. Bandits slaughtered a village on his path, so El Topo avenges the massacred, then forcibly takes their leader's woman Mara as his. El Topo's surreal way is bloody, sexual and self-reflective, musing of his own demons, as he tries to vanquish those he encounters."
