What Am I Doing in the Middle of a Revolution? (Italian: Che c'entriamo noi con la rivoluzione?, also known as ¡Qué nos importa la revolución!) is a 1972 Spaghetti Western comedy film.
The title should be understood, according to the director Sergio Corbucci, as "What Am I Doing in the Middle of the Western Cinema?".[1] It is the final chapter of the Corbucci's trilogy about the Mexican revolution, after The Mercenary and Compañeros.[1][2] The film mixes comedy and political apologue.[3]
