Brothers Till We Die (original title La banda del gobbo (("The gang of the hunchback"))) is a 1978 Italian crime movie directed by Umberto Lenzi. Tomás Milián appears in the roles of twin brothers Vincenzo and Sergio Marazzi. Vincenzo is the leader of a crime gang who is persuaded by Commissioner Sarti (Pino Colizzi).

The film is a semi-prequel for Rome Armed to the Teeth: in both films Tomás Milián appears as a hunchback robber but with different names.
