Hey Guys, we're reacting and breaking down "For A Few Dollars More" starring THE LEGEND himself Clint Eastwood. Sergio Leone was a master of the Western, maybe even better at the American West than many american director contemporaries. I would argue he is. Anyway enjoy this follow up and sequel to 'A Fistful Of Dollars" and part 2 in the great "Man with no name" series.
Please also Check out my Film "Wannabe: All Washed Up" which will be premiering at Los Angeles Comedy Film Festival in the next few months.

At the end, Eastwood has a rifle and Indio has a pistol. Nice flip between the two movies. "When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle the man with a pistol is a dead man. That's an old Mexican proverb." - Ramon Rojas in Fistful.

Manco is Spanish for one handed, which describes the way Eastwood’s character usually fights with his revolver and his fist. Great review and analysis!

I can smell the sulphur and black powder of my cap guns from when I practiced my quick draw after watching these movies as a kid. The caps came on these red paper rolls and you had to put them in the cap gun just right so they wouldn't misfire... Five years old in 1976, THIS movie was the best thing in the world.

Fun Facts: The flat brimmed hat that Mortimer wears is actually accurate for the time. Cowboys actually wore that hat up until the late 19th century. The curved hat that we think of today as a cowboy hat didn't come in until toward the end of the 19th century. Sergio Leone was able to obtain genuine antique civil war cannon for the Civil War scenes in the good bad and the ugly from the Spanish War Museum in Spain by special permission of Franco. The soldiers in the battle scene in the good bad the ugly were also supplied permission of Franco from the actual Spanish army. Derringers that were worn in the sleeve rarely worked and are more a contrivance of Hollywood than anything else. Ennio Morriconne recorded his soundtracks for a few dollars more and the good bed the ugly prior to the movies being filmed and those soundtracks were played during the filming. The actors and the action were dictated by the music so that the two would be in sync. Sergio Leone said that Clint Eastwood had two acting emotions: hat on and hat off.

Lee van Cleef's finest role. The movie was more about his character than Eastwood's, but the two worked well together and it's a shame they never worked together again after GBU. Mortimer didn't take the money because it wasn't about the money for him. It was about avenging his sister. The last scene makes me cry - the sheer emotion on the faces of all three men, especially van Cleef's, combined with the music, makes this scene so powerful. Van Cleef could convey so much with just his eyes and facial expressions, without ever having to open his mouth. He had a charisma and magnetism that drew the viewer in. In this scene he is struggling not to cry and to maintain emotional control in front of his enemy. His lip quivers for just a millisecond and the viewer needs to be paying close attention to catch it, but it conveys so much. Extremely fine actor who left us far too soon.

I recall a closeup on Lee Van Cleef's life noted that he was about to give up acting when Sergio Leone came calling. Presto, Lee Van Cleef gets to be as much of an international movie star as Clint Eastwood. Even Hollywood took notice. Then there was Eli Wallach, who was told he'd have a great time in these Spaghetti Westerns...

Love this film, the impression I always got was that Mortimer isn't smarter than Manco or playing a higher level chess game with him. It's simply he has the years of experience and can tell that Manco is him just 20 years younger, so he anticipates his moves cause they're the same ones he would have made. Something else you might be interested in, is checking out the Danish National Symphony Orchestra's, spaghetti western night performing the themes from The Good the Bad and the Ugly, For a Few Dollars More and Fistful of Dollars. They have other performances covering pop culture like Star Wars etc, highly recommend checking it out, amazing performances. Also, if you're a fan of the original Yub Nub, Ewok song from Return of the Jedi, you'll be happy to hear they cover it during the concert.

Loved the reaction. The end gunfight gave me chills when I first saw it. As to Mortimer giving all of the bounties to Monco, I think he thought that taking any money would cheapen his sister's life which was priceless to him and that avenging her was the last act of love he would ever be able to show/give to her. With El Indio walking around, the love of the siblings and her memory was tainted. Killing El Indio allowed Mortimer to live with only the love and good memories he had of his sister by wiping out the stain that was El Indio.

Over the last several days I have watched a fair few your reviews, top notch stuff, if I have seen the movie you will be my first port of call.... Caught most of the westerns, Hitchcock, Guy Ritchie, First Blood & Fargo and one or two others... Some great insights and the wondrous looks on your faces when something impresses you... Some great westerns over the last 30 years or so ( I call that modern)... 'Open Range', 'The Quick & The Dead' & 'Bone Tomahawk' just to name a few... As for a few others (obviously movies that I adore) that maybe should be considered in the future, be they western, thriller, film noir etc! include 'Southern Comfort' (1981), 'Cool Hand Luke' (1967), 'A Bronx Tale' (1993), L.A Confidential (1997) & Sin City (2005)... Just keep doing what you are doing, don't change a thing....

This my favourite of the Leone Westerns. IMHO the three films after this become a little too long and meandering and consequently loose some of their punch (although of course they remain great films with some absolutely iconic moments). I always thought that if it had the snappy title and the earworm theme of his next film that there would be a general agreement that _For A Few Dollars More_ was his best.

Watch Randolph Scott westerns, specially the ones from the 50''s. Lee Van Cleef plays the bad guy in one of the best ones, "Ride Lonesome". The Tall T and Seven Men From Now are very good too. James Stewart westerns made with Anthony Mann directing are all good, 5 of them. Many John Wayne ones, starting with The Searchers, Stagecoach (made him a star), Rio Bravo, The Comancheros.

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.

Did/Does anyone notice that characters in Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns look like Real People seen in Old West photographs? They come in all shapes, sizes, conditions, from ugly to (sorta) beautiful. Classic Hollywood Western characters look like clean-just-back-from-wardrobe Movie Stars. Speaking of wardrobe, some are ragged, wear patched clothes, etc., just like in those old Daguerreotypes and Tintypes.

Lee Van Cleef & Franco Nero are my favourite Spaghetti Western stars. Of Nero's works you guys should check out Django & Keoma at the very least. LVC is the star of the show in this movie and his intro is perfect. Also, you guys need to check out Leone's A Fistful Of Dynamite, it's a divisive film but personally I think it's damn near perfect (barring the obligatory anachronisms). You should also note the presence of Klaus Kinski in this film, a Spaghetti Western legend (the blonde haired, blue eyed antagonist), in a small role. I have to say that Sergio Leone is my favourite director. In terms of Spaghetti Westerns, the man who "ran Leone closest" was Sergio Corbucci, he made some incredible films including Django, The Great Silence & Companeros. I remain hopeful that one day we'll see the uncut version of Leone's epic Once Upon A Time In America released. Much like A Fistful Of Dynamite, it's a divisive film but it's still great IMO. The cut version is good but A Fistful Of Dynamite is easily my favourite Leone movie. I wish Leone had worked with Coburn and Steiger (the stars of A Fistful Of Dynamite) on further productions.

Also, has an awesome and recogizable music by Riz Ortolani (Cannibal Holocaust). Definitely a must watch!

Indio was impressed all his life by this woman, because she committed suicide when she could kill Indio while he was distracted, Indio had killed her happiness and therefore the woman already felt dead, so she chose to commit suicide instead of killing the Indio. Douglas change idea at the end, he didn't want the money on the Indio death, because he had done justice to his sister and that money would have soiled that special moment, a price that cannot be quantified.
