DEAD or ALIVE ... For a Few Dollars More (1965) FIRST TIME WATCHING!! | MOVIE REACTION & COMMENTARY!

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

I love Lee Van Cleef's intro in this. "Ain't no one's had the guts to face that killer... at least, it's been that way 'til now". And Guy Calloway wasn't deliberately shooting into the ground. Even in 1879 (when this takes place, as per a brief shot of a newspaper article), pistols were very short-ranged. A famous incident where Hickok managed a heart shot at 75 yards was nothing short of incredible.

I'm quite ignorant about pistol culture and mechanics, but to your point of how period pistols during the 1800's were actually short-ranged just makes Van's character that much more cooler 😆 and I agree with you, he had the perfect character intro!

When he came back with the chime to help out his homie.

Awesome scene!

Of the dollars trilogy this one is my favorite of the three. I especially love the final duel with pocket watch music.

[@latenightswithsammy]

That pocket watch chime was brilliant for the ending! Great build up 😆

Speaking of 'iconic dialogue' , check out 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' it's like every line in the movie is iconic! I think they call the wide flat screen scope 'cinema scope'

[@latenightswithsammy]

Yup! Saw that one too, it's on the channel :) I think I've pretty much covered most of his westerns, minus the 2 remaining dollar trilogy films 😆

"How can somebody in my business go around with a contraption like this?" "That contraption almost sent you to your grave." Fun Fact: The safe that El Indio (Gian Maria Volontè) robbed with his gang contained Confederate dollar notes. Bad Lip Reading Fact: As all of the film's footage was shot silent, Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef returned to Italy where they dubbed their dialogue and sound effects were added. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Monco's (Clint Eastwood's) gun is an 1873 Colt Single Action Army revolver with a five and a half inch barrel and raised silver coiled rattlesnakes on the grips, in either .44 or .45 caliber; this is the same gun Eastwood's "Joe" character carried in A Fistful Of Dollars (1964). Clint Eastwood wears the same gun belt that he wore on Rawhide (1959). Comeback Kid Fact: Despite having a successful acting career for many years, this was Lee Van Cleef's first major role in a movie. He'd appeared in a few famous Hollywood westerns prior to this, but always played small roles. Lee Van Cleef was very grateful for his part in this movie, as he had fallen on hard times due to his heavy drinking. This movie effectively marked a resurgence in his career. Location Location Fact: The town set was designed by Carlo Simi and built in Almería, Spain, was the biggest set for which writer and director Sergio Leone was responsible at the time. It was reused for several scenes in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966), in which it stood as several different towns. It's called "Mini Hollywood" and it's still standing to this very day. The circle of the final duel can be seen on Google Maps; search: "Duello finale Per qualche dollaro in più, Calle Campo, 22, 04116 Albaricoques, Almería, Spain"

That's awesome that it revived Van's career! He's a real talent 😁

[@BigGator5]

Indeed. Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

[@mannysotelo673]

I like your reactions, but your bouncing in your seat is super annoying. Looks like a nervous tic or something. I stopped watching your reaction and just listened to stop seeing your bounce. I know these movies, so I know what’s on screen. I am Not being mean, curious about it. You do it less than before. Good on ya👍🏾Aloha 🤙🏾

[@latenightswithsammy]

I notice myself doing it too and try to stop, not sure how I get into the rhythm. But thank you for being honest and sharing, will be mindful of it on future episodes :)
