I've always loved how Corbucci (and Sollima) distinguished themselves so loudly from Leone. Ennio Morricone also tailored his compositions to the trademarks and stylings of each respective director. With how important his music is to the tone and feel of each film, it makes each director's work stand out even more IMO. Great video!

Corbucci's the real father of the spaghetti western, he made two westerns (Massacre at Grand Canyon 1963 and Minnesota Clay 1964) before Leone blew the genre away with Fistful of Dollars, and the sheer cinematic artistry Leone evolved in The Good The Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West (the two greatest movies ever made imo) was out of most spaghetti directors (although Valeri's Price of Power comes closest) reach, but Corbucci's down and dirty brilliance was more easy to emulate... Spot on about The Hellbenders, its Corbucci at his most mature

The Specialist is the one with the best screenplay. In Great Silence they just ride and ride and ride and you have really no idea where they are on their way and then it ends.

18:12 interestingly i read somewhere that actor who played Silence, Jean-Louis Trintignant, said that the "happy ending" was the original ending and was found in the script. Later one of the actors suggested the more nihilistic ending and Corbucci though the idea was good and filmed that one as well, which as we know worked in favour of the film.

You mention the machine gun from Django, but Corbucci gives unfair advantages to all his "heroes" in the trilogy, which really speaks to that cynical view of intelligence & ruthlessness over skill. The mauser pistol from Great Silence is a semi-automatic and much faster to shoot than the gunslinger's traditional revolver. Then Hud in the Specialists wears a (magically bulletproof) chainmail vest, and is shot three or four times over the course of the film. So while he's a badass gunfighter, he'd also have been killed multiple times over what a Leone character would have been, with the sole exception of the Fistful of Dollars climax.

In the late 1970s/early 1980s local station in NYC/NJ areas would play westerns or Kung Fu films on weekend afternoons, but it was a special occasion when they played a Leone film. They would mostly play Corbucci or other "less than B-level" Italian westerns. But I actually preferred the more rougher, bloodier, dirtier movies by Corbucci and others.

Django also had a lot of influence in Japan of all places. Cowboy Bebop, Gundam: AGE, and Fist of the North Star have all made reference to it and even works like Trigun and its derivatives show some influence from Django (if indirectly) thanks to its influence on Desperado, one of Trigun's biggest inspirations and a genuine flawed masterpiece IMHO.

@@WildFlicks Honestly the intersection between the American and Japanese film industries is fascinating and under-discussed. John Ford's westerns were an inspiration for Akira Kurosawa, and his Yojimbo and Seven Samurai influenced Italian and American filmmakers like Corbucci, Leone, and Lucas, who, in turn, influenced Japanese creators like Miike and Miura, though indirectly (Miike's favorite movie is IIRC Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia and Miura's openly talked about his love of Star Wars in the past), which has now come back to influence contemporary non-Japanese creatives to this day.

Haha you know, you could make an argument for Bakhtin's definition of “carnivalesque” applying to Corbucci, in how he uses crudeness and chaos to subvert the western, and move it forward. But you’re right, he retains the operatic qualities while making clear it was a garbage time to be alive.

Corbucci is so underrated. I love how unlike Leone, who was always quite artsy with his visuals and grand, Corbucci is so gritty, chaotic, and dare I say ultra-violent.

Hey!!!did you notice some of the town of blackstone has the water reservoir andnsome houses from Once upon a time in the west????the rail station where harmonica shoots the three thuga from the begging:)) Corbucci had little money so they reused sets from other italian directors.....thats what we need to do to compete with the big studios.....help each other.....shoot similar movies at the same time and cut down prices for extras and sets.....but good movies with good stories and great cinematography.....

I don’t think luco feels any guilt by the end, I don’t think he is capable, however I do think he may feel completely empty which is why he looks so melancholic cause he knows he will never be able to, actually experience life and be loved and be honourable. He will always just be a bastard whose only form of enjoyment is murder

Minnesota Clay and Massacre at Grand Canyon were released the same year as A Fistful of Dollars, 1964. Fistful was far more influential to the spaghetti western genre as a whole though and I don’t think Leone’s status as the genre’s figurehead can be disputed.
