Pistolero is a single released by trance band Juno Reactor, taken from their fifth album Shango, released in 1998.

The song opens with Spanish acoustic guitar and sample of actress Anne Baxter saying, "I hate robbing banks" followed by a blast of gun fire that introduces the beat. The audio recording of Baxter originated with the 1966 Batman TV series episode "Zelda The Great".[1][2]

"Pistolero" was done in a collaboration between Ben Watkins and Steve Stevens, guitarist for Billy Idol. The song opened up an entirely new direction for Juno Reactor.
