Antonio das Mortes (Portuguese: O Dragão da Maldade contra o Santo Guerreiro - pronounced [u dɾaˈgɐ̃w da mawˈdad͡ʒi ˈkõtɾɐ u ˈsɐ̃tu geˈʁe(j)ɾu]; lit. "The Dragon of Wickedness Against the Holy Warrior") is a 1969 Brazilian revisionist western film directed by Glauber Rocha. It features return of the character Antonio das Mortes, now as the protagonist, with Maurício do Valle reprising the role from Black God, White Devil. The original title is a reference to the tale of Saint George and the Dragon.
The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 1969 Cannes Film Festival, where it was awarded the Best Director prize. It was selected as the Brazilian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 42nd Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.
It is often cited as the last installment of Rocha's film trilogy, preceded by Black God, White Devil and Entranced Earth.
