I actually consider "For A Few Dollars More" to be the best in this trilogy.

"This film was too long" Sergio Leone: laughs in *Once Upon a Time in America*

I love Lee Van Cleef. He completely elevates the story telling and he's a great actor.

This is probably my personal favorite of the trilogy with its score, Eastwood and Van Cleef's performance and characters, the villain, and the personal element to the showdown.

Dont forget Sergio Leon's Once Upon a Time in the West. The first 10 minutes are a masterpiece!

I'm glad it is not just me that tries to whistle along to the score.

The hunchback in the green shirt is Klaus Kinski, and yes, he is completely unhinged. See the movie *My Best Fiend* for details.

The Outlaw Josey Wales. You'll not regret it.

Clint Eastwood is the quintessential loner antihero. He has no friends and doesn’t want any. He’s mean AF. It’s great! 🤠

That watch... ⌚ 🎶 😭 I get emotional every time I hear that tune.

You guys are gonna love the next film in this epic trilogy :)

The scene where Clint walks into town and the rain lashes down is one of my favourites from a Western. Superb imagery.

Are you planning on watching all the Leone films, not just The Good the Bad and the Ugly but Once Upon a Time in the West? They get better and better with each one :) Oh and if you want an amazing gangster film, Leone made Once upon a Time in America in the 80s and that would be an incredible reaction for you guys.

Next stop....'The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly'. Arguably the best of the trilogy.

The Great Silence (1968) is probably the best lesser known western. Revolutionary for the genre at that time and an inspiration for both Tarantino and RDR2.

Excellent review and rating, ''The Good, The Bad And The Ugly'' is actually my no.1 favorite movie of all time, can't for your reactions.

Thank you so much for reacting to The Dollars Trilogy! It’s heartbreaking that I haven’t been able to find many reactions to Sergio Leone films. I cannot wait to see you react to my all time greatest film, Once Upon a Time in the West.

Lee Van Cleef is such a great actor. He elevates every movie he is in.

"Once upon a time in America", "Once upon a time in the West" and the "Good, the Bad and the Ugly" are the three Sergio Leone's masterpieces. Also, the three soundtracks are amazing. Give them an opportunity when possible even if they are a quite bit long films.

Once Upon A Time In The West is a masterclass in film making. Sergio Leone at his best. Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson are incredible.

After this trilogy, you guys should watch “Once Upon A Time In The West”

"This guy's unhinged" He says about Klaus Kinski 😂

Still the only film my dog's seen all the way through.

Gonna have to watch The Outlaw Josey Wales if you are watching westerns. One of the best!

Another Spaghetti western masterpiece with Klaus Kinski as a derraged SOB is "The Great Silence". In that film you will witness and appreciate the versatility of SHAVING CREAM.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is an epic masterpiece, you’re gonna be blown away!

The music in this movie is amazing.

Out of the three Leone / Eastwood films, this one is comfortably my favourite. They now have the money to realise the vision and everyone knows what they are doing, and (unlike the later Leone films) they don't stretch out the run time with unnecessary scenes.

the greatest film trilogy ever in my opinion , I know i said this already sorry

My favorite of the trilogy

I literally just watched this 2 days ago ! You guys got good taste 🔥

The pocketwatch theme that plays is known as "Sixty Seconds to What" in English. Great tune and aptly named!

I used to avoid watching these kind of western movies , but you guys helped me see the fun side. From Nebraska, thank you for opening up this world for me

May I suggest a great 60s? "Once Upon a Time in The West", also directed by Sergio Leone, starring Henry Fonda , Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. Amazing plot, stellar performances and a very interesting premise. There were three men in her life. One knew her past. One wanted her land. One wanted revenge.

Lee Van Cleef's acting when Indio pulls out the pocketwatch and the music starts playing is my favorite moment in all three films. You can see his heart breaking in his eyes. You wonder if he's not just going to break down and cry. It's such a beautiful emotional moment.

Still blows my mind seeing Klaus Kinski in this - absolute legend.

The Outlaw Josey Wales!!!

Once Upon A Time In The West after the trilogy?

Sergio leoni has this unique knack of using exactly the right amount of character introduction, WITHOUT it ever being boring because of it despite going over the 2 hour marker. Something most other directors seem unable to do.

Good ups. Don't miss the 50's and 60's samurai flicks that were co-inspired by Westerns and Westerns by samurai.

After The Good, Bad and the Ugly, please check out The Outlaw Josey Wales

Lee Van Cleef dressed exactly like one of his childhood heroes in two movies “Spaghetti Westerns’ Wyatt Earp. Lee’s costume is a perfect copy of the famous outfit worn by Wyatt Earp in 1881 in Tombstone Arizona. Lee provided his own clothes as did Clint Eastwood. Lee even used a 12 inch barrel Colt like the one used by Marshall Earp. The Hat, Coat, Shirt, Vest, Tie with Tie pin, Boots, Guns every detail is a Tribute to the most famous Lawman-Marshall in American history. John Wayne often said he made all his characters after Wyatt Earp saying every time he walked onto a movie set he pretended to be Wyatt Earp in the way he walked and talked. Clint Eastwood was also influenced by Wyatt and said he fashioned Inspector Harry Callahan “Dirty Harry” after the most famous Lawman Marshall in history… Wyatt Earp.

I’m so glad you guys are watching these. Clint has tons of other great westerns besides these three and Unforgiven.

Once Upon a Time in the West - the DEFINITIVE spaghetti western - watch it last

For me, his best western was Once Upon a Time in the West, which he made after the Dollars trilogy. It's possibly my favourite film of all time.

The music in the 3rd film is one of my favorite soundtracks.

The bullet echoing sounds in spaghetti westerns and the wood knocking punch sounds in old kung fu movies are among the most epic sound effects ever to be made.

Great reaction guys! one of my all time fav movies, a masterpiece. I Hope you fellas watch Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time... The Revolution (as i like to call to it) which is also known as "A Fistful of Dynamite or Duck You Sucker" its underrated among Leone's work meaning it feels like it gets left out with the bigger names but its just as good if not even better than some actually. It has incredible music once again but a real sadness to it with a engrossing yet sad tale. First rate acting by James Coburn and Rod Steiger, an absolute must watch a masterpiece aswell.

Fun fact regarding hating trains: JRR Tolkien also hated trains, they represented the ending of the world he knew as a child and the destruction of the countryside he loved to roam.

I appreciate that you actually buy the movies you watch! That's dedication 😁

I like this more than the first and even the third movie in the series. Cuz the main character seem to still be The Man With No Name..... but in a stronger supportive role and it feels enjoyable that way cuz he seems nigh untouchable in a 'skilled veteran' way.

My favorite Clint Eastwood western is High Plains Drifter. A reaction to that would be fun to watch..

Awesome reaction video guys I always enjoy the friendly banter between you, Shaun saying he going model his Red Dead Redemption 2 character on Clint made me laugh. This had great character arcs & a excellent twist I love final scene Clint character shoots last bad guy then says "it's fine thought something wrong with my counting" just little scenes like that make this movie great. The third film is a prequel so in chronologically terms it's the first one, there are great characters with Lee Van Cleef playing The Bad & Eli Wallach as Tuco completely steals the show. Eastwood filmed these films inbetween seasons of Rawhide & there was a fourth planned but Eastwood wanted do other roles.

The stand-off at the end of this film with the watches is one of my favourite western scenes, nay, one of my favourite action scenes.

You have to wear the cowboy hats again for the last movie in the trilogy. Also wear a blanket as a poncho.

I can't believe you guys friggin didn't react to the BEST line at the very end when Clint was adding up the reward money for all the bandits 😂

I like how most reviewers can't figure out that the guy who runs out first is not Indio, it's Grogy, and he's only wounded.

Great reaction. Can't wait for the next one, you should love it.

I can't wait for you two to get to the next one. The music the action and the characters are all up graded. TGTBATU is the best one. Cheers

Guys, that’s not El Indio’s girlfriend. When he was younger, he came across Mortimer’s sister and brother-in-law, killed the brother-in-law and was r@ping his sister when she ended herself. He was haunted by the whole thing and it was slowing driving him mad. Watch the ending closely: once Monco takes alway El Indo’s edge, Mortimer is by far the better and faster shot and Indio knows it. Right before the chimes end, there is a single tear that slowly drops from the corner of Indio’s eye-is it because he knows his madness will finally be over?

Great comments & analysis, i rate this an 8.0 SO many more western films to come, best leave some room at the top. Looking forward to you guys on the next film.

I like that El Indio’s wanted Poster has him laughing maniacally. Like where did they get that photo?

You can't go wrong with Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone, but if you want to explore westerns you have to do The Wild Bunch

The whistling set the tone. They knew what they were doing and it shows. Great job fellas.

Lee Van Cliff is so cool in this. I like him much better here than in the follow up movie. A weapon specialist, a marksman. And a good sad story to boot, as the best Westerns always have a revenge story. Really For a Few Dollars More is such a great movie, might be my favorite of the Trilogy. Love the musical watch linked to the sountrack. So powerful.

The use of the chimes in this movie is hands down the best use of diegetic music in any movie ever.

The introduction of "Monco" (Clint Eastwood) character is like a complete movie in a movie. Its brilliant.

A few years back I decided to sit down and first watch a ton of spaghetti westerns over a few weeks and it was some of the best time I spent in front of my TV. Buckle up for the next one, it is iconic, but there are still more good ones after that!

Before you tire of westerns, I hope you do Silverado (1985). Great cast & story. Diff feel than the others you’ve seen. More modern but very good.

"...the sets are better..." Leone built a western town called Little Hollywood in southern Spain for this movie (El Paso). It's still there and is still used as a movie set and a tourist attraction. It was used to film many, many Spaghetti Westerns after 1965!

Although these films were not meant to be continuations or sequels, Leone often threw in little hints about the other films. At the end of this one Eastwood says "What about our partnership?" and Cleef says "Maybe next time." Referring to Good, Bad, Ugly which would be filmed next.

I completely agree, I prefer this one to the second one. (This is actually my favorite of the three). Your reaction to my favorite scene - the shoot out of the hats between Clint and Lee Van Cleef - was all I want out of a reaction video! You applauded! You applauded my favorite scene!!! Quick correction: the genre of the western is NOT defined by long running times, nor slow paced. The Sergio Leone "spaghetti westerns" ARE long and slow. His movies are usually on "epic" scale, and have slow pacing, music by Ennio Morricone, etc. But westerns are not, by definition, short or long "Stagecoach" is one of the all-time greats, it's not particularly long, and you can't say the pace is slow on that. Spectacular action and stunts. "My Darling Clementine", one of the greatest, not particularly long. "True Grit" might be a little longer, but not too much. "One Eyed Jacks" is a couple of hours long, but I wouldn't say that movie is paced slow! (That's a great one, the only movie Marlon Brando ever directed, and it's fantastic). "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid" (1969) is a fantastic western, not paced slow, and is a "normal" length movie. (That's definitely a movie to add to your list! That's a classic, and a great one that really holds up!) ("Bonnie And Clyde" is another, I'm shocked there are no reaction videos for that one! That's the birth of onscreen violence that everyone loves so much! :P And one of the best crime movies of all time!) Spaghetti westerns are European-based productions with international casts of actors. (in this movie, there was Klaus Kinski from Germany, lots of Italians and Spanish, a few Americans.) Hollywood westerns made from the silent era till the 50s or so actually used real cowboys and outlaws from the old west, had spectacular stunts (the best of them)....Hollywood actually prolonged the old west, which was dying out when the film industry moved there starting in 1910. You get the real deal when you watch stuff like "The Covered Wagon". Anyways, blah blah blah, thanks for the video, that was a lot of fun revisiting this movie with you.....and at a fraction of the time it would have taken me had I actually rewatched the whole thing! :P

Loved the reaction guys! Hope you’re going to do The Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter too

The sound was never recorded when it was filmed but latter dubbed in appropriate for the language of the country the film was shown in.

Check out the brilliant 'Outland' with Sean Connery... that's basically a remake of High Noon in space.

I've been in the saloon where Clint shot the first three men. The film set is still there. It's in a place they call Mini Hollywood in Andalusia in southern Spain near Malaga. The closest town is called Tabernas.

Once Upon a Time in the West. Henry Fonda was NEVER the bad guy, except in this movie. Imagine Tom Hanks in a role as a psychopath. Then watch Fonda in 12 Angry Men.

Glad you saw that Gian Maria Volontè played the villain in this one too. Hopefully, after seeing Lee Van Cleef doing a totally different character in the third, and realising Clint Eastwood plays different characters in the films, you'll address the misunderstanding that this is a trilogy. The distributers who bought the rights to these three for release in USA (after some reediting) called it a trilogy, and then it stuck. The real Leone trilogy, with a common theme, is: 1968 - Once Upon a Time in the West (C'era una volta il West) Best western ever in my opinion. 1971 - Duck, You Sucker! (Giù la testa) Grossly underrated, I think. Still the weak one in the bunch. 1984 - Once Upon a Time in America Leone's best.

Writer Sergio Donati sent me an email years ago stating the he believed that the man with no name was the same individual in all 3 films.

This one is actually my favorite of the Man With No Name films.

Sergio Leone e Ennio Morricone gli artisti che reinventarono il Western,con i pochi mezzi che avevano in Italia,quando si nasce geni !!!!!🤠🌹🤠🌹🤠🌹!!

aaa i loved the trilogy for these films!! i first watched the good the bad and the ugly on tv one day but i believe it was in spanish lmao. recently watched it again for an animation project and i absolutely loved it! after that i watched the other two and they were also great!! im honestly glad ive invested some time into watching more spaghetti western films cause theyre a whole lotta fun imo 🤠

If you guys are going on a Sergio Leone kick then you have to pay a visit to Once Upon A Time In The West. And remember that Henry Fonda was something of a typecast actor at that point in his career, always playing the wholesome, white bread roles. That movie was a big departure for him. And he nails it.

One of the biggest disappointments in my life is after 2.5 days on a hot and sweaty Greyhound bus from New York to New Orleans we stopped in El Paso for an hour. I was mortified to discover that modern El Paso is a shiny metropolis, and the bank is all pristine aluminium, tinted glass and air conditioning, not a bale of tumbleweed anywhere in sight. And thus ended my short lived career as a bank robber.

I hope you don't stop with the third film. Once Upon a Time in the West is my second favorite film, after 2001. You weren't too into the latter, but maybe you'll really like this one.

Thnx for watching this and looking forward to the 3rd film. Keep up the good content guys.

Just wait until you hear the music in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. You may have heard some of it before coz its that iconic.

I can’t wait for you to react to TGTBTU, especially the character Tuco. The 🐐 of westerns

fun fact the guy you saw at 8:00 also played in Winnetou another western made in Europe, he is Polish/German :)

Actually, Sergio Leone did two trilogies: one is the "dollar trilogy" (indeed, A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY), pretty focused on action and suspence, and the other one is the "time trilogy" (namely, ONCE UPON IN THE WEST, A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE and ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA - and this last one is more a mob movie, set up in the Prohibition Era, than a western one), more focused on melancholy and love. ENJOY ALL OF THESE MASTERPIECES PEOPLE!😎

Excellent Quality. Now you have to go epic with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Cheers.

You guys are awesome! AND it seems you are genuinely interested in movies. You should do a review of every Oscar Best Picture winner...that would be a challenge.

My favorite of the 3. I knew I fell in love with this movie when Indio has his duel in the church. It was even better at the final duel. I routinely listened to the final duel music and get goosebumps each time

THIS GUYS UNHINGED 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂THAT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS LINE EVER🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

If you want to see the hunchback in something a bit different try Aguirre: Wrath of God

" The man is unhinged" 8:11 A very apt description of the actor Klaus Kinski, the man in question. He was a german actor who ways always very volatile, He was known to have shouting matches with directors such as Werner Herzog. His daughter Natasha Kinski, is a very talented actress. You should check out the the film of Tess.

Based on your comments at the end of this video about how the characters in this movie went on a journey and were better developed than the characters in A Fistful of Dollars, I look forward to your reaction to The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, which is even bigger in scope.

I love Lee Van Cleef in this film, even though he's wicked in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. General Mortimer is just one cool bad ass, especially when he lights his pipe on the hunchback's hump.

You boys are gonna have a blast with good the bad and the ugly, I'm looking forward to it on your behalf.. p.s. come on england

Interesting and intelligent rections guys. Keep it up. You really ought to watch "The Outlaw Josey Wales". One of the best westerns IMO, with Eastwood starring and directing.. A gem.
