Location: Tabernas - Beyond the Law Money Hide


The area known as Las Salinillas within the Spanish desert of Tabernas has been featured in countless Spaghetti Westerns, and many LVC westerns including The Big Gundown, Death Rides a Horse, Sabata, and Beyond the Law

While much of Beyond the Law was shot in Italy, a handful of sequences were shot in Tabernas.  This entry will focus on a scene early in the film, in which the LVC character of Cudlip hides the money from a recent heist, and is introduced to Novack, played by Antonio Sabato who is searching for the money.

The location itself remains very much the same today nearly 50 years later.

This entire sequence was filmed just below the infamous "tank cliff" from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  See pic below (click to enlarge)-
