The Spanish town of Almeria provided the backdrop for one of film's best-loved westerns: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

And the Andalusian town played host to an altogether different 'shootout' when actor Michael Fassbender organised a paintball match.

The 39-year-old rented a section of the town as a treat for cast and crew of Assassin's Creed, and he told TheFIX on Wednesday that this particular gunfight had alcohol involved.

Shootout: Michael Fassbender rented part of Spanish town Almeria for a booze-fuelled paintball match between cast and crew of new film Assassin's Creed

He said: 'We got to do it in one of the towns from the spaghetti westerns [Almeria, Spain], so we got to take over the town and have this shootout.

'The Saloon was the HQ, which got sort of dangerous because there was alcohol involved - not a good idea to paintball with alcohol, of course - but it happened.'

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the experience ended up a painful one for the 12 Years A Slave star - despite director Justin Kurzel saying he was 'extraordinary' at paintball.

Battle scars: Recounting the 'battle' on The Tonight Show last week, the German-born actor revealed the extent of his injuries

Recounting the 'battle' on The Tonight Show last week, the German-born actor revealed the extent of his injuries.

He said: 'I had [what looked like] hickeys all the way up my neck and I was bleeding from the forehead.'

A malfunction with his rented paintball gun contributed to Michael's downfall, while he was also left to bemoan an enemy fighter who shot him at close range with a professional paintball gun.

He said: 'I had [what looked like] hickeys all the way up my neck and I was bleeding from the forehead'

He said: 'The rental that I had, it got jammed, so I was like trying to push the balls through.

'And just as I just got it loaded up and fixed, I raised my head up - the guy came around the corner and he went [makes paintball gun noises] and [the paint balls] went right up my face.'

Michael plays the lead, Cal Lynch/Aguillar, in the movie adaption of popular video game Assassin's Creed, which hits cinemas across Australia on 1 January.
