Eli Wallach is an amazingly underrated actor. He owned this entire film.

Eli was underrated and underappreciated for most of his career. He was one of the best character actors for over 30 years. Met him once and he was completely awesome and humble. Glad to have had the experience of meeting him.

This one and pretty much only scene shows how dangerous and skilled Tuco is. I remember my dad showing me this movie and me underestimating "The Ugly". My dad just said: "wait". This scene was incredible.

This was a Clint Eastwood film, but Eli Wallach stole every scene he was in. Talent!

I love Clint Eastwood, but must admit, Eli Wallach lifted this Western out of the realm

One of the greatest scenes in any Western. Tuco barely makes across the bridge to assemble his pistol. The facial expressions alone sold this scene. I have watched this movie so many times, my wife says, "again"! It's never boring or stale.

Eli should have received an Oscar for this performance. Tuco, you got screwed!

As iconic as the Man with No Name is, Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (known as The Rat) is one of the greatest characters to grace the silver screen. He is a hilarious comic relief, a sympathetic underdog, a greedy opportunist and a resilient badass all rolled into one. You love him, hate him, root for him, laugh at him, learn from him and connect with him. He is extremely well-written, full of personality and depth and was brought to life to maximum perfection by the Oscar-worthy Eli Wallach. He is the reason The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the cinematic masterpiece it is, other than Sergio Leone's direction and Ennio Morricone's music.

Just came back from Wick 3 to confirm that there is indeed a scene that pays homage to this incredible improvisation.

I never knew Eli could speak Czech. Such talent.

From a gunsmith's point of view, this scene cracks me up, taking guns from different manufacturers and putting them together to make the perfect pistol, what a joke,Guns back then were fitted by hand to each individual frame. And Tuco being some great machinist half drunk on booze!

He deserved an Oscar for this film but America Hollywood would NEVER have an Italian film win.

This shows how political the Academy Awards are it is a crime at the highest level why Eli Wallach did not win the Oscar for his portrayal of TUCO 😢😢😢

I got a western pic of Eli wallach on my wall...I was going to ask for his autograph on the pic but he passed away. Truly an icon and legend in western filming. I loved his Humor.

Eli basically improvised this whole scene of putting the gun together from all the spare parts...

This movie has more riveting individual scenes than any other Western.

The gun store owner's flabbergasted and bemused reactions throughout the scene are genuine. Everything Tuco ( Eli Wallach ) does with the guns was unscripted. Wallach knew little about guns, so he was instructed to do whatever he wanted. He did receive instruction, however, on how to disassemble and assemble them.

Eli Wallach Is an incredible supportive actor " I once had 3 brothers if I see them again I would share my earnings" As a honest man.

Eli knew nothing about guns. The director told Eli to just play about with the guns. What resulted is a classic😃

My favorite all time movie. And Eli Wallach and Tuco, my all time favorite character. He should have won an Oscar for Tuco. But any one that tries to kill Tuco and misses knows nothing about Tuco.

This is probably my favorite scene of any movie.

I've always loved the little gesture the gun store keep does at 5:30. He's like, "I understand that you're gonna rob me, but really now? Taking another man's drink? Come on now."

I recently was given a DVD of "Tough Guys" (1986), my mum watched it with me (shes 70) couldn't believe that Leon B Little (the assassin) was this same guy, Eli Wallach in this film. Both memorable performances. If you haven't seen that film do so, its quite a good chuckle.

Best of the Best scans💯 😂👌👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 Eil wallach Excellent 👍👍👍 Toko my love❤👍🤣🤣🤣 His gun (revolver) assembly tuko was unique. Only he could handle this role😂👍👏👏👏

Der beste Film 🎥 aller Zeiten die Musik die Schauspieler sowas von klasse das gibt's heutzutage nicht mehr.

This has got to be the funniest scene from this movie

Remember, the little old train station attendant at the beginning of the Once upon time in a West. He was many of other Leone westerns keeping an eye on Universal actor over the people who acted in his movies on a regular basis.

this whole movie is a gem

Epic scene Eli was the badass outlaw

Eli is a genious in his acting career

Italians had a lot of influence in this greatest ever western movie, the director even boosted that he was the greatest film maker and he was a dam right... the scripts ,the music , the violence, the pictures, the actors.. and so on

Right after Tuco left, Wile E. Coyote came by to pick up some gunpowder in his never-ending quest to finally capture the Road Runner. Meep-meep!

2:35 this will be me building my gun in Red Dead Redemption II

Tuco bennedito best actor of all times rest in peace Tuco

Eli Wallach should have won an Oscar for his performance!!!!!

An era has ended with Eli Wallach bidding adieu. Wish he could complete 100. He was brilliant in The Good The Bad and The Ugly! Goodbye Tuco

"CARTRIDGES" "WHEN YOU HAVE TO.... SHOOT SHOOT DON'T TALK" And then the rope..... "IT MUST BE STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF A PIG!" Outside the sheriff's office.... "OH LOOK ONE BASTARD GOES IN ANOTHER COMES OUT!" Eli Wallach as TUCO in a memorable performance that will forever be etched into western movie history.

Unbelievable acting

Truly brilliant performance

This movie is perfect

Mr Eli is such a great actor..

R.I.P. Eli

If you've seen John Wick three there seems to be a call back to this scene....

It's Oscar worthy any day of the week by todays standards

Wallach was a legend

Love how he switched cylinders on that Navy

Funny, it came up in my recommended videos and I just happen to be able to speak Czech. No kidding. Lived in Prague for a while. Lol. "Tady mam nelepsi" - "Here I have the best" :-)

Quentin Tarantino said it was the best film ever directed.

Gotta love how Tuco is such a crooked bastard, that the first thing he does after walking out of the desert barely alive is rob a guy lmao

O melhor filme de faroeste de todos os tempos sem duvidas

I've seen it said that this scene was one of those cut from the original UK release of the movie, but it was present when I saw it back in the day.

Masterpiece of cinema

At least he didn't mak the shop owner part with his drink ... it's the least Tuco could do.

RIP TUCO GOD BLESS AMEN.

Long live Tuco.

I watched this scene more than once without getting bored

I don't know what the budget for this classic, but it had to be substancial. All those bridges and Army posts and period uniforms. I met Eli Wallach at the University of Texas (his alma mater) in the late 80's when they were giving him an award. Super nice man. I love the scene with Clint in this movie where is reading a piece of paper and Clint called him an idiot.

Eli is amazing 👏 🎰🎭 you call 📞 him ...when you have an excellent screenplay

The quickest recovery from a seventy mile walk walk across a desert you are ever going to see

a kedvenc filmem legjobb része...thanks

i felt sorry for the old guy lol

It was later that I realized that Wallach was the outlaw leader in The Magnificent Seven. He was great in that part too.

one of my fav parts

Eli Wallach wasn't underrated. He was a famous highbrow actor, a major Broadway star. Tennessee Williams wrote one of his best plays, The Rose Tattoo around the young Wallach. That's top of the line, like having the 20th century Shakespeare write Othello for you. The film Baby Doll was a cultural event, a scandal. Otherwise, he made films as a kind of well-paying day job. What's cool is that even us kids in the Saturday movie matinee immediately recognized we were watching genius. We had good taste.

For all the experts who are saying that parts from different guns couldn't be assembled to make a single gun..... Well we talk about poetic licence, what about cinematic licence????

ThanKs!

Tuco rules. Masterpiece ever. Greatness

ELI WALLACH MADE THIS MOVIE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST.

Best Movie of all times.

Eli Wallach was superb in this movie.

So many inaccuracies with time frame regarding the weapons (only some long guns used cartridges near the end of the civil war when this takes place and handguns were all black powder), but this film is the one film you completely disregard the details. It is just so darn good.

This is my all time favourite film. First watched it in 1980 when I was 10 years old I've known idea how many times I've watched since.

This movie shows them firing brass cartridges out of cap and ball revolvers, where you had to load a ball, powder and precussion cap all separately.

The man closing early to go for a drink 🍾😂😂😂

Iconic scene ,

The funniest thing about this scene and the whole movie is the guns they used were not available during this time period. Colts, Remingtons still used percussion caps and Smith & Wessons were rimfires at best. Centerfire cartridges in handguns didn't become prevalent until well after the war ended. They were also still using black powder. That whole target court yard would have been filled with smoke. Modern "smokeless" powder hadn't been invented yet.

That was a long hot walk my friend .😮1

Tis actor is a miracle indeed. His character is so carismatic and persuasive. He was far better than clint eastwood.

THE GREATEST WESTERN EVER MADE.

Super cool

Se rodo en España durante la dictadura franquista, un régimen que incluso ofreció soldados para que actuaran como extras y construyeran el camposanto de 5.000 tumbas en el que tendría lugar el enfrentamiento. Hoy, más de medio siglo después, un grupo de vecinos ha logrado desenterrar la icónica localización tras tres años de arduo trabajo, se encuentra en la localidad de Santo Domingo de Silos (Burgos). No os lo perdáis!!!!.

What did Eli Wallach do to celebrate was on game shows lol. Eli Wallach told Henry Fonda to accept to act in Sergio Leone movies. He said, the director was a genius. Charles Bronson was offered the Man with no name trilogy until it was offered to Rowdy Gates of Rawhide.

One bastard walks in, and another walks out 😂

Tuco's "gain of function" engineering job on the gunz...

I couldn't imagine running a gun store in the Old West. It must have been the most profitable and most dangerous business! One could imagine guns were the most important thing, and perhaps one of the few things they could spend their money on, so that certainly led to huge profits. The extreme danger of course, everyone loves guns during the Old West so you were probably a prime target for violent robbery by some highway robbers or outlaws.

Tuco stole the show from Blondie and Angel Eyes. Legendary western and my personal favorite.

The Best Sends Out Of this Movie

Der Film ist der Hammer.👍

The way they did "a tasting" before John Wick when it was whiskeys not wines.

cool ---- I like this...

He's loading a percussion revolver with metallic cartridges.

La mejor ecena siempre t recordaremos

Labai geras filmas.

As the owner of a Colt .36 Navy, I have to say they don't come apart that easy.

This scene after get half gold never change ugly

Really one o the best film made ever.

I have got the uncut version of Clint Eastwood Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach in The Good The Bad And The Ugly I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxx

Taking parts from one gun to make a new type of gun, got to try the one, using parts from a 38 and the parts of a 45 !

This is some nice ASMR lol

Cartridge revolvers did not exit during the civil war. Only cap & ball. Only the 1860 Henry used copper rim fire cartridges.44 caliber. That was a blooper using cartridges for revolvers.
