      The informal slogan around 24fps was Che Guevara's
    phrase "Wherever death may surprise us." (202)

Taken from Che's 'Message to the Tricontinental':

    [...]
    Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism, and
    a battle hymn for the people's unity against the great enemy
    of mankind: the United States of America. Wherever death may
    surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle
    cry, may have reached some receptive ear and another hand may
    be extended to wield our weapons and other men be ready to
    intone the funeral dirge with the staccato singing of the
    machine-guns and new battle cries of war and victory.

The full message was first published in April 1967:
