Which of the Dollars Trilogy is your fav? DOLLARS Playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLQHhQlj8i5dph8lKnVDfDPmz05NfX4SEH&si=96nOUD3rbGYUtfMs Western Reactions: kzfaq.info/sun/PLQHhQlj8i5doFNPAVpvMK4x_0goHHNGHs&si=CCuOZLO8exsTryRI

FUN FACTS: The bridge explosion scene actually had to be filmed twice. The movie was filmed in Spain. The bridge was mainly built by engineers of the Spanish army (Who also played extras as the soldiers in all the battle scenes) and the Spanish army captain was given the honor off pressing the trigger. When they were about to film the first take, the army captain overheard the Spanish cameramen saying "Vai, vai" ("Okay, good, start") and, mistaking it for *his* signal, pressed the detonator and the whole bridge blew up with no camera running. They had to rebuilt a new bridge for the second take. Eli Wallach (Who played Tuco) actually suffered three near-death experiences while filming this movie: - During the scene where he's being hanged and Clint Eastwood's character frees him for the first time, the horse unexpectedly jolts off (After being startled by the gunfire) with Eli still on its back and his hands tied behind his back. That's the actual take you see in the movie. But Eli almost died because the horse galloped for about a mile and Eli would've fell off that horse's back and broken his neck or whatever. - During the scene at 30:52 where he's lying on the railroad tracks still handcuffed to the big fat guy (Played by Mario Brega, who starred previously in 'A Fistful of Dollars' and 'For A Few Dollars More') and the train wheels severe the handcuff chain. He and the crew were unaware that there were some heavy iron steps jutting out the back of the train. Eli would've got decapitated by those steps if he waited too long and rose his head up at the wrong time. - While taking a break from shooting the scene where his character finds the coin bags and is breaking them open with a shovel, Eli accidentally drunk a bottle of acid (Which was poured over the coin bags to make them rip open easier when struck by the spade) that was coincidentally sitting next to his lemon soda bottle. He had to drink a gallon of milk to neutralize the acid and he filmed the rest of the scene with sores in his mouth.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love the videos of Canada's sweetheart, Jen Murray, and those who have yet to see them.

When Jen said “I love these close ups!” I knew she would be in for a treat. That 7-minute Mexican standoff is one of the best scenes ever put to film. ❤️

Not only is this one of the greatest westerns of all time. It’s one of the greatest films as well from the story, the music, the cinematography everything about it is a masterpiece.

I honestly feel that the musical score put alongside Tuco's running around the graveyard scene is the finest movie scene ever filmed! Just wonderful! Great reaction Jen.

I don’t know if anyone else has already mentioned it, but the song being sung in the POW camp while Tuco’s being tortured and where that young soldier is dying in that blasted out building is called _The story of a soldier_ and is easily one of the most moving pieces of music in that film. Lyrics: Bugles are calling from prairie to shore Sign up and fall in; and march off to war. Drums beating loudly; hearts beating proudly March blue and grey; and smile as you go. Smoke hides the valleys; and fire paints the plains Loud roar the cannons; til’ ruin remains Bluegrass and cotton; burnt and forgotten All hope seems gone; so soldier, march on to die…. Count all the the crosses, and count all the tears These are the losses; and sad souvenirs. This devastation was once a nation So fall the dice; how high is the price we pay. There in the distance; a flag I can see Scorched and in ribbons; but whose can it be? How ends the story; whose is the glory? Ask if we dare; our comrades out there who sleep… Count all the the crosses, and count all the tears These are the losses; and sad souvenirs. This devastation was once a nation So fall the dice; how high is the price we pay.

The theme for this is a timeless masterpiece. Now that you have seen the movie. You might want to check out a video of the Danish Orchestra performing it. It's really very good. 🤠

The humor, intensity, storyline, Civil War backdrop, music and that epic Mexican Standoff at the end...this movie is perfect. If not perfect, it's as close as you get to it.

Such music! Eli Wallach really steals every scene he is in.

Trivia: Sad Hill cemetery was not a real cemetery. It was constructed exclusively for this movie. The producers were able to employ units from the Spanish Army to help build it. After filming was done, they just left it. Fans were making pilgrimages to the location for years. It was deteriorating. Finally, an effort was taken a few years ago to restore it to it's movie glory and to make it a place for tourists to visit. On it's reopening, the movie was shown, projected onto a big screen, to a crowd in it's center. Clint Eastwood himself appeared on video to congratulate the folks who restored it.

One of the greatest films ever...in any genre...by my favorite reactor. So glad you love these spaghetti Westerns as much as I do, Jen. My late father and I used to watch them together all the time growing up.

Finally, we've reached the epic conclusion! Glad that the Ecstasy of Gold gave you chills. As you said, these movies just wouldn't be the same without Ennio Morricone's incredible score. And while the movie takes a long time to get there, the whole final act starting with Tuco in the graveyard, to the standoff/shootout, and then concluding with Blondie riding off absolutely delivers the goods. The wide shot of the three of them facing off surrounded by graves is art, plain and simple

This is one of the greatest Westerns of all time. You would love Eastwood's 'Dirty Harry' movies. The spaghetti Westerns gave him the opportunity he needed. Great reaction.

So glad you watched this. I know you’ll love everything about it. The music truly makes it a classic.

The score!!! 🥰 Every track Ennio laid down is an eargasm, but Ecstacy of Gold lives rent free in my head. His composition makes GBU my fave of the Dollars Trilogy. RIP to a master.

Tuco/Eli Wallach was a legendary actor with a long career. He also appeared in the original 'Magnificent Seven' in 1960, and appeared in 'The Godfather Part III' in 1990 at the age of 75. He was married to his one and only wife for 66 years when he died in 2014 at the age of 98, and she died 2 years later at the age of 90. They had one of the longest, if not THE longest marriage in Hollywood.

As great as those film is, my personal favorite Spaghetti Western is ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. But, glad you are enjoying this genre. There are some fun ones.!

Saw the notification and my day was made knowing Jen wouldn't be able to resist singing the theme; my expectations were exceeded!

Awesome reaction, Jen! So glad you enjoyed the "Dollars Trilogy" -- aka the "Man With No Name Trilogy". You are becoming quite a western expert! Love it!🤠🐎 For more Clint Eastwood westerns, you really can't go wrong with any of them. "Hang 'em High", "High Plains Drifter", "Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Pale Rider" are some of his best. However, my personal favorite is probably "Unforgiven" -- which some people like to think of as his "Man with No Name" character as a widowed older outlaw who comes out of retirement for "one last job". Also stars Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris and Frances Fisher, among others. HIGHLY recommended.

Great reaction to this classic western Jen....everything about this film is great. The actors, the set designs, the costumes, the music, the cinematography, the lighting, the editing and the directing. Between this film and Sergio Leone next western that he made after this one, both fall under many people's categories as the two best westerns of all time. Now you have to watch Sergio Leone epic western masterpiece 'Once Upon A Time In The West' (1968) - with Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards & Claudia Cardinale at some point in the future....When I say epic western it is epic & when I say a masterpiece it is a masterpiece. To some, it was the last best western. 🤠

There is an excellent documentary "Sad Hill unearthed" in which a bunch of fans and Spanish natives locate the site of the grave yard and begin the process of restoring it into a tourist site. Starting off on their own it quickly became a massive effort of volunteers and crowdfunding. Donors got to have their names on the tombstones. While still some ways off from a full restoration of the site, they did a remarkable job and it has no doubt helped their region of Spain in terms of tourism.

Jen...good ears...Tarantino used actual music from Ennio Morricone in Kill Bill...he also used pieces by Morricone in Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained. Tarantino is always clear about how much of a fan of Ennio Morricone he has always been.💯😁

As Always Ms. Murray, it is a pleasure to watch your reactions 👍 There is a version of the 2 main pieces of music used in this, preformed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra on KZfaq, if you haven’t checked it out yet, you should.

As fantastic as this movie is, you HAVE to see "Once Upon A Time In The West" which is Sergio Leone's next Western after this one and is truly Leone's masterpiece. It is simply the most epic, operatic Western ever.

Now that you've fallen into the spaghetti western rabbit hole, I would recommend: - Once Upon A Time in the West (1968). Sergio Leone, with music by Morricone again. Honorable mention: - My Name is Nobody (1973) with Terence Hill. It's an homage to the spaghetti western genre. Part western part comedy. Epic music by Morricone again. Probably won't give you many views, but I wish someone would react to it...

Thank you. Possibly the best Spaghetti Western is "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968), while "The Outlaw Josie Wales" (1976) is probably Mr. Eastwood's finest western. Musically, The Danish National Symphony Orchestra performed a beautiful partially vocal version of the theme. It can be found on KZfaq.

Jen, great video. Thanks! If you liked the dollar trilogy, you need to see the ultimate Sergio Leone Western: ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST! You will LOVE it!! Promise!! 😉

The one he did right after GB&U was Once Upon a Time in the West. Many will say it's his best, but it's GB&U that's most beloved by audiences.

Once Upon a Time in the West also by Leone is outstanding as well. Starring Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. Incredible score by Morricone.

I saw this when I was 17-18 back in the 80's on 2 VHS tapes and it changed my life. I became a fan of Sergio Leone right there and then. The build up, the close ups, the far away shots, I just kept watching it over and over and over again trying to find things and details I might have missed. Incredible movie.

I love when Jen "sings" along with the themes. All the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns are good but, in my opinion, the best is Once Upon a Time in the West (1969), with Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson. Other great westerns are High Noon (1952), the original Magnificent Seven (1960), and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). For a comedy, try Support Your Local Sheriff (1969) or Maverick (1994)

You really need to react to Once Upon A Time In The West, Sergio Leone's next film after this one. For many, the greatest western ever made.

The song that plays while Tuco is running around the graveyard at the end is called “The Ecstacy of Gold.” At every Metallica concert, that scene and song play on the screens right before the band comes out and jump into their first song. The build up is magical. 🤘

This is THE iconic western musical score of all time. Check out the Danish National Symphony version, its soooooo good!!!

Another great movie score that Ennio Morricone did was “The Untouchables” with Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, and Robert DeNiro.

None of our three man characters would qualify for "Good" under any conventional standards but weirdly my favorite display of empathy is just after Tuco cleans out the shopkeeper, he at least has the kindness to leave the guy the bottle of liquor.

I highly recommend "Once Upon A Time in the West". It was Leone's masterpiece.

You need to do Once upon a time in the West. Its the best Leone/Morricone movie, and I say that as someone who loves the Dollars trilogy. Its the best Western ever made. Probably the best action movie ever made too.

10:11 For those who are curious, the three guns he swapped parts around with were all of the same model (Colt 1851 Navy) so he was just bench-fitting the gun to replace worn-out or inferior components.

The big battle at the bridge scene late in the movie is interesting. All the extras they used for Union and Confederate soldiers were members of the Spanish Army. If you didn't know, the movie was filmed in Spain. The scene where the bridge is blown up had to be done twice. They inadvertently set off the charges and demolished the bridge before the camera crew was ready, so the had to rebuild it and blow it up again another day.

Jen at 31:28 -- "Tuco is the main character of this movie as far as I can tell." Jen at 46:48 -- "He [Tuco] was great! He was born to play this role." Jen at 46:38 -- "Let me know if you have any suggestions for other westerns we should check out." Tuco is played by the late Eli Wallach, one of America's finest character actors. If you'd like to see him in another classic western, check out the original "The Magnificent Seven" (1960). Other westerns worth adding to your watchlist include "Stagecoach" (1939), "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (1948), "High Noon" (1952), "Shane" (1953), "The Searchers" (1956), "Rio Bravo" (1959), "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962), "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1969), "The Wild Bunch" (1969), "Dances with Wolves" (1990), and "Unforgiven" (1992).

Unforgiven is one you should definitely check out. Starring Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris. Many consider it the greatest western ever filmed, myself included.

It was a Snuff Box, which usually had ground tobacco (which had scented oils mixed with it). It was a big fad in the 1700s, but was somewhat rare in the 1800s.

I've been waiting a long time for this one. I cannot wait for the quirky, funny noises and for your renditions of the music. It's always a joy to share a favourite film with you, Jen. 😄🥰🥰🥰😘 xxxx

A classic movie (my personal favorite) is being react by my favorite ryoutuber of all time- Jen!!! Glad that you enjoy it! Masterpiece indeed! You are so underrated, by this time you so have over 1 million subscribers.

Okay but now you have to watch Once Upon a Time in the West it's Sergio Leon's masterpiece the cinematography the music everything is chefs kiss

You should listen Danish Symphony orchestra version of the theme song.. its great :) (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live))

"Hey, amigo! You know you have a face beautiful enough to be worth two thousand -dollars- hearts?" 🤠💜

When the theaters initially reopened after Covid, they needed product and this was one of the older reissues. It was awesome to see on the big screen. Along with Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West," it's my favorite Western.

The final showdown is almost two different movies. First time around there's tension and the second viewing is quite comical once you know the twist. Eli Walach nailed them both in one performance.

Now that you did the 3 movies, you should react to the performance from "The Danish National Symphony Orchestra" of each of the movies main theme. You would love it. EPIC

Awesome classic western movie. This is how the west was,make your own rules to survive. Thanks for all of your time put into editing and posting these reactions. ❤❤Hello from Pa USA.

A great movie and I'm happy to see your watch/review of it, Jen. Everything from the music to the cinematography to the characters is 💯. Funny that one of the most memorable parts is Tuco/Eli Wallach's repetition of "b*at*rd' to Blondie! This was his *other* famous fake Mexican role outside of The Magnificent Seven. Here he gets to be "ugly" rather than "bad". If that's an improvement. 😉

Ennio Morricone was truly a maestro. His music is brilliant.

The shot of Smeagol holding the ring always brings my mind to the shot of Tuco and the noose in this movie.

Wonderful reactions to this superb western, Jen. I would love to see you react to some classic James Stewart westerns such as The Rare Breed, Winchester '73, The Naked Spur and The Man From Laramie.

Hi Jen! I love watching my favorite movies with you.🙂 You’re watching a good one today! The Dollars trilogy is kind of a turning point between the classic westerns of John Wayne/Gary Cooper and the more modern anti-hero westerns of the last few decades. Lee Van Cleef, who plays The Bad, is so malevolent. He doesn’t have to say much - he just exudes bad. The movie is kind of stolen by The Ugly, Eli Wallach. He has a lot of the best scenes. Wallach was almost killed in the train scene when it went by his head. Apparently there was a step down if they hadn’t accounted for and it missed his head by a few inches. In the scene where the bridge blows up you notice rocks coming in all around them. Again if anything had hit either of them it probably would’ve killed them. There’s a big rock that hits the sandbag about a foot from Eastwood’s head. Then of course you have the classic three-way show down at the end. I’ve probably watched this movie 15 times and I’m still excited to see it.

You may have noticed that Eastwood and Wallach's voices changed in several scenes. Like most Italian films at the time, this was shot without sound, with the actors all performing in their native languages. All the dialog and sound was then dubbed in later. For the English language version, 14 minutes were cut from the film and never dubbed in English. In 2003 these scenes were restored and Eastwood and Wallach (now 37 years older) dubbed their restored scenes. I think it's probably most obvious in the scene after Blondie and Tuco leave the monastery, before they run into the soldiers.

The scene where Tuco builds a revolver. Is paid homage to in John Wick 3 . Where john quickly assembles a revolver. John even closely listens to the cylinder timing as Tuco did.

Great reaction Jen. Please check out another Sergio Leone classic western. Once upon a time in the West. The cinematography will blow your mind. It is a masterpiece

It took me way too long to finally watch this movie and I loved it. My favorite part is the running through the cemetery and how they just let it play out. Tuco is by far my favorite character.

The best Clint Eastwood westerns: "Pale Rider" "The Outlaw Josey Wales" "Unforgiven"

The Outlaw Josie Wales is considered a classic among Clint's films. I think I can guarantee you'll both really like the casting and story. A favorite of mine for sure.

Jen, I really hope you watch "Once upon A Time In The West" too. It really is Leones masterpiece, even though it doesn't feature Eastwood.

This movie is basically my barometer for whether or not I put any stock into a persons opinions about movies. If you dont like this than just dont care what you have to say about movies anymore. This film has a bit of everything I love. Music, cinematography, editing, tension building. Its the total package.

Its great folks discovering this film. Its been a part of my life for 50yrs. Im 63 and still this film means alot to me. We must thank the folks at United Artist for creating the man with no name character in 1967 when the films were released in the USA. It was part of the ad campign to tie the films together.

Morricone had the sound track to the movie done by the time filming started. They used bits of it while filming to help inspire the actors in certain scenes.

Ecstasy Of Gold is one of the great pieces of film music.

If 'Fistful of Dollars' and 'For a Few Dollars More' are an overture and a concerto, 'The Good The Bad and The Ugly' is the grand symphony out of the three films.

Great reaction again, Jen! So glad you’re enjoying Westerns! Among the many, many hundreds of Westerns that are available, I would suggest some solid John Wayne Westerns: STAGECOACH (1939), THE SPOILERS (1942), TALL IN THE SADDLE (1944), ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (1947), FORT APACHE (1948), 3 GODFATHERS (1948), RED RIVER (1948), SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON (1949), RIO GRANDE (1950), HONDO (1953), THE SEARCHERS (1956), RIO BRAVO (1959), THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (1962), THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER (1965), TRUE GRIT (1969) (which garnered him the Best Actor Oscar), THE COWBOYS (1972), and his final film, THE SHOOTIST (1976). Also recommended are some of the Westerns of Randolph Scott, particularly his collaborations with director Budd Boetticher: SEVEN MEN FROM NOW (1956), THE TALL T (1957), DECISION AT SUNDOWN (1957), BUCHANAN RIDES ALONE (1958), RIDE LONESOME (1959), and COMANCHE STATION (1960). Plus, James Stewart has some excellent Westerns that are well worth seeing: DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1939), WINCHESTER ‘73 (1950), BROKEN ARROW (1950), BEND OF THE RIVER (1952), THE NAKED SPUR (1953), THE FAR COUNTRY (1954), THE MAN FROM LARAMIE (1955), NIGHT PASSAGE (1957), TWO RODE TOGETHER (1961), HOW THE WEST WAS WON (1962), CHEYENNE AUTUMN (1964), SHENANDOAH (1965), and THE RARE BREED (1966).

Always found it amazing that when Tuco tosses the bottle down the sand dune, it lands precisely at Eastwood’s head.

Got my bandaged up fingers elevated and away from danger so I'm good to go with what will be another masterful reaction 🎉 this is going to be great

What Tuco snorted was Snuff. A powdered tobacco that was popular during the Victorian era.

The stuff that Tuco put in his nose at 45:48 is finely ground tobacco, also known as snuff. It was quite popular in the 19th and 20th centuries.

This is a masterpiece. The cinematography (innovatively applied onto 35mm film for wide-screen aspect ratio), the genius score, the intensity, the involved story, the deep messages within, and the most intense climax scene. The climax is a twist on the classic logic problem, the 3-way gunfight of very capable participants - who wins that? The guy that doesn't shoot first, and with all smart enough to know that, no one shoots first(i.e. peace). That is until the emotional pressure overrides someone's logic. When "Blondie" unloads Tuco's gun, he leaves the others in the 3-way fight situation along with the audience while putting himself in another; with no indecision as to who to shoot(the guy whose gun is loaded) and when (when one of the others makes a move). The personalities were so defined in this film that you could also surmise that Tuco would be the one to break from logic first and that "Angel Eyes" would know that; and that "Blondie" would also know that "Angel Eyes" would go for Tuco either first or in response. Yes, check out the *** Danish National Symphony Orchestra's *** performance of 2 songs from this movie. They do such excellent jobs with movie scores/songs. I consider "Ecstasy Of Gold" to be one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

Came for the 'Wa Wa Waaaah’. Was not disappointed! 🤣🤣🤣

Remember in John Wick 3 where he ends up in a "weapon museum" or something in the beginning and he assembles a gun. That's a reference to this movie with Tuco in the Gun Shop.

One of the best westerns ever made. The grave yard is in Spain and it was empty land. The Spanish army built that entire cemetery in two days including the center cobblestone round. Eli Wallack who played Tuco gave a tour de force performance in this film. Certainly for another very good Eastwood western High Plains Drifter needs a watch.

Jen Murray By the way Lee Van Cleef was a true gentleman. That wasn't him actually slapping the woman. It always cuts before it happens. Van Cleef said once "I will never do two things in a movie: Hit a woman or kick a dog."

40:42 This is one of my all-time favorite movie moments. Tuco stands up and the camera goes along with him, revealing one final, maddening obstacle: A seemingly endless field of graves. The music starts off quiet, but with that repetitive tune that underscores Tuco's desperation. And the longer it goes on, the louder it gets, and the more desperate he becomes. He's reduced to running around in a frenzy (hence The Ecstasy of Gold, the name of the song) because his greed is all he has left.

I had a librarian who read us little kids stories. She turned the pages so well. The way you narrate this is good. You remind of better times.

Leoni loved the piece that Morricone wrote for the final showdown so much that he edited scene to fit in the entire score coz he didn't want to cut a second of it out

Could be regarded as a prequel because of its Civil War setting which would be in the 1860's. In Fistful we see a grave dated 1874 and in the follow up Col. Mortimer is a retired war hero. This is the film in which Clint not only gets his poncho, but the rest of his clothes including the sheepskin vest and smaller dark brown hat which are all given to him by Angel Eyes...

This is not just the best Western movie ever made. For me, this is the best movie I have ever seen in my life. Period.

One of my favorite westerns of all time and probably one of my favorite movies being an Eastwood fan growing up on them with my Dad and i am 36 years old. Enjoyed your reaction to the classic. Eli Wallach is very memorable in this film as is Lee Van Cleef as the main villain.

There is nothing like a good Western. Gunfights, barroom brawls, and even a sense of humor. This one is excellent. It is a perfect way to watch after a hard day.

Leone's next western is his masterpiece: Once Upon A Time In The West. It will blow you away. Happy viewing.

Tuco is such a fun character. I think he really makes the film next to Clint.

How can we not love Jen? 42:45 "Friggin' showdown!!"

Fun fact : the bridge explosion had to be done twice because the first time the guys in charge of the explosion made the bridge explode when the cameras werent rolling due to a translation error (the guys spoke spanish i think and the director spoke italian) ... the movie was filmed in spain.

Not only did Blondie let Tuco live, he left him with $100,000 dollars. However, Tuco's out in the middle of nowhere with no horse and no real way to transport that money. I would never want a sequel to this movie, and I like to think Tuco's story ends happily, but I figure the tale of how he finally managed to get the money safely back to civilization would be a whole movie unto itself.

Westerns, as a genre, do not typically end with the hero getting the girl. More often than not, he rides off into the sunset alone, or dies in a tragic yet sacrificial manner.

Eli Wallach (Tuco) is a great actor. Another movie I like him in is the 1958 detective film, "The Lineup." Please add that to your lineup.

As much as I love Clint Eastwood, the VERY BEST "Spaghetti Western" is Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West". Other Clint Eastwood westerns you should watch are: "Pale Rider", "The Outlaw Josie Wales", "The Unforgiven" and :High Plains Drifter",

"Once upon a time in the west" is an absolute must-see...if you haven't already.

Tuco Ramirez is a truly fascinating villain, from a movie character point of view. He's ruthless and wicked, but as pointed out by miss Murray here, he's also got a certain innate enthusiasm about him, a desire and expectation that things will turn out well for him, and usually they do (a few missteps along the way notwithstanding...) Eli Wallach embodied this character so masterfully you just know nobody else could have played Tuco as well as him. Please do check out "Unforgiven", one of the greatest western movies ever made, and one of the best 1990s era movies also. It was so awesome it inspired Garth Ennis to pen the script to one of the most awesome comic book eposes ever written - "Preacher", which later became a watered-down TV show that was cancelled before its ultimate conclusion. But that's another story. :)

This movie is possibly the best western ever!! Just brilliant on every level. The lines are blurred between good and evil, as the 3 main characters have much in common. The setting of the story is also brilliant (The lesser known New Mexico Campaign, of 1862, of The American Civil War.) It's so good, the ANY attempt to remake it, would be disastrous!! Timeless and never gets old!!

Honestly another, underrated Masterpiece, also with Sergio Leone, Once Upon A Time in the West, please check it out--imo, it’s not only as good as this, but in many regards, better…. ❤❤❤❤ But I do indeed love this film as well… especially the bridge sequences with the two armies… legit heart of the film!

The gold price in 1862 was $18.93 which means $200,000 in gold would have been about 625lbs. At today's gold price of $1,876/oz those bags would be worth $19,821,447 and 43 cents..
