#FROM DAWN TILL DUSK 3 DRIVER#
The outlaws kill the coach's driver and shotgun rider, then ransack Bierce and the Newlie's belongings looking for anything worth stealing.

Madrid and his gang, with Esmeralda in tow, catch up with the stagecoach, their highway robbery interrupting the debates the missionary passengers and the atheistic Bierce have been having about the merits of religion. Reece wants to be an outlaw, she wants to get into the life by being Madrid's apprentice, and she tries to prove her dedication by tipping him off to the fact that the stagecoach headed Tierra Negra way might be loaded with gold - she overheard Bierce say he was taking something of great value to Pancho Villa. who turns out to be a filthy young woman. While the hangman leads a group out into the desert on Madrid's trail, Madrid takes back control of his old gang from a traitorous cohort and is soon joined by Reece, the filthy young man who saved his life. He'd rather see Esmeralda dead than with Madrid. That stops the authorities from shooting at him, but it doesn't stop the hangman from continuing to fire shots. He steals a horse, and while making his escape from this town, grabs the hangman's daughter and takes her hostage. When Madrid's boots hit the ground, blades pop out from the tips, blades which come in handy as he runs and kicks his way to freedom. But before the rope can snap the outlaw's neck, the scrawny, filthy young man who has been hanging out around the village for the last couple days pulls off an expert sniper shot and shoots the rope in half. He pulls the lever that activates the trap door Madrid stands on. Once the hangman has beaten the pair to his satisfaction, he gets the show on the road and gets the noose around Madrid's neck. When she refuses, he has her brought up onto the gallows for a whipping of her own. Mid-beating, the hangman spots his daughter Esmeralda in the crowd and orders her to go home. When Madrid has a negative response to the hangman's taunts, the executioner delays the hanging long enough to dole out a beating with a whip. Madrid is led to the gallows where the hangman awaits, seeming way too eager to carry out this killing. He joined the army of famed revolutionary general Pancho Villa as an observer, and the last time anyone ever heard from him was a letter to a friend written on December 26, 1913. A 1913 tour of the battlefields he had fought on around fifty years earlier led him to crossing the border into Mexico, a country that was experiencing its own Civil War at the time, the Mexican Revolution. Bierce had served in the military and fought in the Civil War for several years. Michael Parks, who played ill-fated Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in the opening sequence of the first film, takes the lead of the third as a completely different character - American author Ambrose Bierce, who disappeared in Mexico at the age of seventy-one.

Shot back-to-back in South Africa with Scott Spiegel's From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money, From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter is a prequel to the original From Dusk Till Dawn, one which takes the interesting approach of tying a real historical figure into its story.
