Fovou tous Ellines (also known as Beware of Greeks Bearing Guns) is a film directed by John Tatoulis. Filmed in Australia and the island of Crete, Greece it is a romantic comedy / drama, that stars Lakis Lazopoulos, alongside Zoe Carides, Claudia Buttazzoni and John Bluthal.

Maria, a woman who is obsessed with tracking down the man who she claims killed her husband in Greece, wants her eldest grandson to enact revenge, as tradition demands.

Manos, a mild-mannered schoolteacher is sent to Australia to settle the long-standing vendetta but he is more interested in reuniting with his long lost love Niki than shooting anyone. Meanwhile, his layabout twin brother George decides to avenge the family name himself. When both brothers arrive in Melbourne, they discover that the family secrets aren't as secret as they thought.

The film was highly popular in Greece.
