Hey why not. They're all great

Same dude

Mine too

Trust me bro you’re not the only one

Did we all just become best friends

Be sure to check out Yojimbo, the black and white Japanese film this entire plot and the ‘man with no name’ trope was stolen from. I assure you you’ll enjoy it even more than this wonderful interpretation. And check out the wiki if you care to know the history behind the lack of international copyright infringement and the economic warfare that led to so many Japanese movies being stolen and copied in hollywood

@@skivvy3565 Really? Ask yourself by whom the Yojimbo, by your Kurosawa, was inspired. I'll tell you: read Dashiell Hammett's _Noir_ novel _Red Harvest_ , and inquire about the _Commedia dell'arte Italiana_, _Goldoni_ . and then we'll talk. And ask yourself another thing: if the _Fistful of Dollars_ was a plagiarism why on earth did Yojimbo not gross shit and the first one instead made every box office record. Before you write nonsense, get better informed!

@@francescolaspina8073 How much a film grosses means nothing in any consideration of its originality or even value. I doubt Skivvy is interested in your offer to "talk". Nothing in the comment to which you responded deserved smug condescension.

I completely agree with your sentiments: I could have written your comment myself.

@@francescolaspina8073 Cool! I'll check it out! I still love both movies. Even though they're same, I enjoy each of their unique merits.

Indio is a great baddie!

That's awesome!

Excuse my bad english. At the end of the 3rd film Eastwood takes the iconic poncho before the "three-way duel". This suggests that the first film is the sequel to the 3rd in an endless loop. After all, a dollar is a coin, a circle, and a circle has no beginning or end.

@@FrankGulp The Good, The Bad and the Ugly can be called a prequel since it takes place during the Civil war and the other two films take place in the 1870's.

@@michaelproctor8100 I don't remember any time references in the first two films. maybe i'm wrong.

@@FrankGulp If you go back to A Fistful of Dollars, watch the cemetary scene where Joe and Silvanito are positioning the bodies of the dead soldiers up against a tombstone that is clearly marked 1873.

@@skivvy3565 Yojimbo story was in Fistful of dollars. Not in this one.

@@skivvy3565 I don't think Akira Kurosawa minded when A Fistful of Dollars was made. He considered it flattering that the film was inspired by his own and called it a good movie, but he wanted his cut of the royalties, lol.

@@skivvy3565 Hardly 'stolen'... you could say improved! Akira Kurosawa is over rated anyway and he would often 'steel' from Shakespeare too (Ran) and Seven Samurai is basically the Robin Hood legend. Besides you are talking about Fistful of Dollars, which is a far superior film to Yojimbo.

@@FightCollective Kurosawa was not overrated at all, his cinematography was groundbreaking and he was one of the greatest directors ever lol

@@skivvy3565 bro why are you posting this on every comment you aren't even talking about the right movie, A Fistful of Dollars is the one inspired by Yojimbo and even then if you watch the movies yourself they don't feel the same

It’s definitely better than A Fistful of Dollars

And no legitimate full soundtrack recording. (Just one side of an LP). Morricone got into a dispute with the producers.

It's my ringtone and has been for as long as I can remember.

Hell yes. It gets me fired up every time I hear it, and immediately makes me want to be a epic bounty hunting cowboy.

agree with you totally.

My favourite is Vizio di Uccidere (Vice to Kill/Vice of Killing) from this same movie, the one playing while the gang rides away after the heist.

Agreed. Lee van Cleef had a magnetic charisma that immediately drew the viewer in. He could convey so much with his intense eyes and facial expressions without even opening his mouth.

I f you're interested in seeing Van Cleef in a similar role, you can watch "The Great Duel"

@@theinvisiblecunt6417 also ‘Barquero’ is worth watching with van Cleef as the hero.

With my permission you could all use a bath.

It has to be noted that Van Cleef's Hollywood career had pratically ended, after a car accident, long rehabilitation and subsequent alchool problems. Leone searched specifically for him, that at that time paid the bills working as a painter, because he recalled his part in High Noon, and tought he would have been perfect for Col. Mortimer's part. Van Cleef's hard life was reflected in his look. In the movie, Eastwood called him "old man", and they really looked of different generations, but in reality the two were only five years apart.

Once upon a time in the West is as awesome or maybe better than tgtbatu

Hey the 4th MP! Once upon a time in the west! A real jewel.

Concur: happy thanksgiving

Sanjuro has always been underrated too. The humour in that links more to Leone in the later two films.

stupid dumbshit too bad retards are able to post comments

Oldboy is probably my favorite movie of all time The good the bad and the ugly also is, but now after seeing for a few dollars more I can't decide. By the way oldboy is having a theatrical rerelease August 16th!

In Italian "monco" means amputee. They called him like that, because, as seen in the fistfight scene, he always used the left hand, to keep the right one near to the gun, ready to shoot.

Good call. Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite Leone film.

There will definitely be more someday!

@@skivvy3565 oh please you talk like this has not been down before.

@@skivvy3565 Yojimbo's plot was used for "Fistful of Dollars" NOT for "For A Few Dollars More"

I like to think all three films are linked. Canonically, The Good The Bad and The Ugly comes first with Blondie receiving his Poncho at the very end. The second one being A Fistful of Dollars, which takes place almost directly after Blondie runs off with the money. My belief is that Blondie ends up storing away the gold from the end of the last film as it'd be too risky to carry around a bunch of confederate gold, it would also explain why he's close to the border of Mexico due to him having to run away after blowing up the civil war bridge (which the general brings up is a pretty big war crime). He arrives in town and then he does his whole thing of pitting the town against each other and saving the family, which would also explain why he didn't care if he gave away that money to the family, he had no use for it. Then after the whole beating and whatnot from the last film he gets the hand brace either as a way for protection in case that ever happened again or because he had become a more seasoned gunslinger. In For a Few Dollars More he mentions the idea of retiring after turning in El Indio and his gang, which leads me to believe this is the overall final film.

I think part of what makes it so good is how tight the movie is. GBU can feel bloated in comparison, I first watched these movies off a blu ray release in 2013 and this was my favorite. I never understood why no one used to talk about this movie, but more recently I’ve been hearing Indio and Mortimer get the recognition they deserve as brilliantly written characters
