The best physique in Hollywood (outside of Woody Strode).

yeah. And he got the revenge. his life must be empty after all that.

And Henri Fonda was 60. Not bad either.

@@fraerithlelfe6027Henry Fonda was 63 years old and was his time playing a villain and actually did another western Firecreek in 1968 with James Stewart with Fonda playing a bad guy going against James Stewart.

Aye, the first time I saw it, it was such a shock.

@@countOfHenneberg "Aye" - I see what you did there... :)

Back those days they had a story, took time to work it out and then they made the movie. They didn't really think about profit. Now the first thing they write on paper is the desired profit. Nunc Aut Nunquam marine.

Not wrong pal. UK 🇬🇧

There is a CLEAR top 10 westerns and in no order all great .... this is 1000% one of them

Hands down, also I love how the guns sound so greased so clean so finite van cleef guns make the exact same noise. Mmmmm delicious

One of the best lines spoken by a total badass!!

Bronson had the role but didn't accept it for whatever reason so Leone settled for Eastwood? I had no idea. Thanks

Artistically it worked out better. Bronson personifies Harmonica and Eastwood personifies Manco aka the man with no name.

I honestly prefer The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, For a few dollars more and the Great Silence, but it's really good nevertheless.

All good westerns! it's just a matter of opinion.@@zissimus8462

Yoda you must be. Yes mmmm.

So much that across the Galaxy its fame reaches!

This is Fabio Testi!!!

@@alexanderschiffauer1330 Do you know if he got hurt? I've tried looking on line about him.

No olvides a pancho villas

I flinched when he landed. Must have hurt. Props to the stuntman.

Yeah. I don't think he intended to land on his shoulders like that. Ouch!

That was stuntman and later actor Fabio Testi, and he _was_ hurt, leading to the cancellation of a scene in which he had a brief speaking role.

Hé refused the role of Monco (the man with no name), didn't like the script

Jason Robards did a great job there too :)

Spaghettis breathed new life into the Western. That genre was long dead in Hollywood before A Fistful Of Dollars - even John Wayne had moved on, and by that time it was all about spy movies, thanks to Bond. They were much more gritty and real than your average John Wayne stuff

In the lead up not shown in this clip, you see how that situation arose: originally, they took up good positions, but no one got off on the station side of the arrived train, so they thought that's it and walked to their horses.

@@Daneelro So maybe one could credit Harmonica Man for some brilliant tactics of his own to deboard the train on the side opposite the station platform.

early in story, actor Lioenel Stander informs her of water rthat only 3 people had bathed .... Claudia retort, " ONE AT A TIME , OR ALL AT ONCE ? "

Claudia also sizzled in THE PROFESSIONALS with Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, jack Palance & Ralph Bellamy

I don't agree. I also think this editing was Leon's intent. There was some hacking at the movie over the years and it's only recently been reconstructed as it was originally released. The section you talk about may have been part of that hacking and recent reconstruction. I don't think this movie needs that kind of forced suspense. It's not that kind of movie.

The edit you mention is actually a cut-down TV edit. The scene as you see it is how it was shown across European cinemas, including in Hungary; and _sometimes_ also on TV, also in Hungary. (An even more heavily cut-down version was shown in US cinemas.) One may argue about this particular editing choice (I'm for this version because it shows Harmonica as less of a perfect hero than The Man With No Name), but most of the other stuff that was cut made the movie less easy to understand. You might be interested to know that there are a couple of scenes that were cut from all theatrical or TV versions of the film, including the next involving Harmonica after this: injured, he wanders into town, where he is beaten up by a couple of thugs. You see his wounds from that in the next few scenes, like the roadhouse one.

I prefer the cut I have described above. Harmonica will not look perfect to the viewer as Cheyenne shows the wound Harmonica gets at the station in the saloon scene if you remember. Also, for a stronger dramatic effect it is better to see the family on preparing for Jill's visit then showing Harmonica's getting up after the shootout here at the station.
