Mary, I give you my sincere condolences. I hope you find comfort soon.

Sergio Leone movies all actors do their lines in their native languages, that are then dubbed, so you had cast and crew talking several languages . Legless man was Spanish war veteran Alfonso Veady. End scene graveyard was build by Spanish military just for this movie and the middle circle is still there. Sergio Leone got his movie music done before he started filming, at end scene hes playing that music on set to the actors.

[@tjsogmc]

Fun fact: the body in Arch Stanton's grave is a real skeleton. It was an actress that put in her will that she wanted to be in movies after she died so her skeleton was rented out as a prop.

[@Roger6233]

Goddamn thats metal.

[@Dimetropteryx]

Most of the lines are indeed dubbed. Much of cast was made up Italians and Spaniards who didn't speak English, so they spoke their lines in their respective languages, and were dubbed over.

[@montyweaver3196]

The bad was much worse than the other two - He would kill women and children to get what he wanted - and tortured prisoners. The other two would not stoop to that level. In fact Blondie showed compassion for the soldier that died , the captain, and even Tuco after hearing about his brother and family. Tuco killed people that threatened him but was not just killing everyone and his use of the sign of the cross after every death showed some compassion for others. Angel eyes cared only for himself - basically a total sociopath.

[@Det.RichardDick]

The first time the titular three characters meet with no one around to bother them and their business, all carefully engaging one another for the mcguffin of the last 2 hours, all to Morricone’s beautiful epic score. If you don’t get it, you weren’t meant to !

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

A legendary movie in storyline, soundtrack and cinematography. RIP Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef

[@fernandosantiagorodrigueze2655]

Filmada en Burgos, Almería y Madrid

[@crwydryny]

Fun fact while this was the last of the dollars trilogy released it is actually the first chronologically. It takes place at the end of the civil war and at the very end Blondie puts on the iconic poncho which the character wears in the other two films. He's also known as "the man with no name" because he never gives a name in any film. The name he uses is always given to him by another character. Also there's a reason Eastwood has that iconic squint in this film. He's allergic to horses and his eyes kept puffing up and watering hence the squinting

[@samkeepintherockalive]

Eastwood also hated those cigars.

[@tigerjonn]

Not only the main theme, but that theme when they find the cemetery, called the "Ecstasy of Gold" is so iconic and awesome... One of the greatest soundtracks of all time!

[@feralart]

Elements from this movie are so iconic that they're still imitated/tributed to this day.

[@richardwilliams5387]

The drunk Captain is one of my favorite minor characters in movies.

[@Pru1PC]

The director and composer also did “Once Upon a Time in the West”. It is a masterpiece movie with Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Jason Robards and Claudia Cardinale.

[@michaelbuhl4250]

Sorry to hear about your friend. I think Tuco's interaction with his brother is a truly great scene. It gives him so much depth and lets us know how he got to be the way he is without going on some long digression and spelling it.

[@tjsogmc]

"Show, don't tell". A storytelling device that has been completely abandoned by modern movie makers.

[@bdleo300]

Yep, and Eli Wallach nailed it; completely changed our perception of his character in 1 second.

[@t0dd000]

Eli Wallach (lost him not long ago) is just legendary. And he is so good as Tuco.

[@beatmet2355]

He pretty much steals every scene

[@laapache1]

sorta reminds you of the part he played in Mag 7

[@panpiper]

In that day and age, largely for economic and technical reasons, it was quite common for such 'low budget' Italian movies to be dubbed. They were shot without audio recording and the dialogue was added in during post. It is characteristic of a lot of the old spaghetti westerns.

[@current9300]

It was also due to the international acting crew. Spaghetti westerns were usually shot with national mishmash where actors spoke Italian/Spanish/French/German on camera.

[@PFitz-sh4ms]

The cast wasn’t really a factor it just wasn’t common practice not to capture sound on set. Additionally some scenes that were cut have been reinserted into this copy so you have a very old Eli Wallach dubbing some lines and other actors are being impersonated at times

[@rabbitandcrow]

Dubbing was standard practice in Italian filmmaking for decades

[@jasonmedeiros5188]

You will also see a lot of the same actors playing different roles in spaghetti westerns. If you continue watching this trilogy. Although this is already the third in the trilogy! The others are Fist full of Dollars, and For a few Dollars More. All have Clint Eastwood.

[@trhansen3244]

I don't mind that. But the almost total lack of diversity, equity and inclusion is just inexcusable!

[@tomfowler381]

Condolences on the loss of your friend, Mary. Unfortunately, I’m in my early 70’s and have experienced the loss of close friends more times than I’d like to remember. It’s an awful pain to endure. Virtual hugs. ❤️

Surviving isnt selfish. Sometimes surviving /is/ the sacrifice. For those we care about, that they dont suffer life and mourn death, while we go on doing so in their stead.

[@ZebZanko]

Welcome to the Spaghetti Western! The music score was composed by Ennio Morricone "His score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is regarded as one of the most recognizable and influential soundtracks in history. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame." And yes, the opening song, you've heard before, was written for the movie.

[@adamantyr]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Mary! This is definitely an iconic movie. Cowboy films before the spaghetti westerns were very clean and straight, my grandpa was a huge fan of them and Louis L'Amour novels. The dirt, the grit, the blood, this set the spaghetti westerns apart. I don't know if it's over yet, but there was a time when every actor wanted to be in a western. A fun anachronistic goof is that the wanted posters are clearly a modern photograph, which would have been impossible. Although, a fun fact is that many outlaws in the latter 19th century were finally caught because they were vain and willingly sat for photographs. The photographers kept the negatives which eventually were turned over to the law and then people could actually identify them. (This lead to the mistaken assumption that Billy the Kid was left-handed.) Also, safety on the sets was totally lacking. Eli Wallach came close to death several times, and during the bridge explosion, when you see Eli and Clint crouching behind sand bags, you SEE a piece of stone fly into the sand bag right in front of Clint which could have decapitated him had he not been behind them.

[@beatmet2355]

Some of Tuco’s dialogue was dubbed many years after this movie was produced. There’s some scenes here that weren’t in the original cut, like Tuco recruiting help in getting Blondie. You’re hearing the same actor (Eli Wallach) in that sequence that played Tuco, but he was much older than he was in the movie. He lived to be nearly 100, passing in 2014.

[@terrylandess6072]

The pillow wasn't to muffle the gunshot sound, it was to protect him from the mess. I was pleased when I saw Lee Van Cleef in Escape from New York.

[@bewilderedbeest]

The movie was made with most actors speaking Italian and dubbed into English. This movie is a fine example of the Spaghetti Western -- shot in Spain by an Italian movie company. If you watch the credits, you'll see most of the cast and crew are Italian. The Italians have a unique take on the American Western. They treat the Western as mythology rather than history. The main characters are presented like mythic heroes; e.g., Hercules, Theseus, Perseus. Their skill with a gun is superhuman.

[@AaronCrooks-l1u]

Lee Van Cleeff (The Bad) plays a different character in the previous film to this and it’s also worth watching if you liked this one. Lee Van Cleef’s character reveals something to Clint Eastwood that makes it a Satisfying ending. It’s called For A Few Dollar More. 😊 recommended.

[@Nangleator22]

Interesting/macabre note: the skeleton in Arch Stanton's grave is a real woman's remains. She was an Italian actress and wanted one last role to entertain people.

[@maul_2184]

Spaghetti westerns were directed by Italians and then shot in Spain with extras who were both Italian and local Spanish actors. They were dubbed later in post production. The "stars" were often American TV stars to appeal to an American audience. It made Clint into a film star making a series of these.

[@FlickFreaks]

In my opinion. This is the greatest movie ever made.

[@andrewjones4774]

It is dubbed. This was known as a spaghetti western. It was directed by Italian director Sergio Leone. Additionally, this movie is supposed to take place in the U.S. (New Mexico). However, the movie was actually shot in Spain. Most of the cast was European.

[@GOGIANTS1091]

I am 29 and this remains my favorite film of all time. Today marks 3 years since I watched it for the first time during the pandemic. I love this film. Now going to a Star Wars perspective, a lot is taken & inspired from this film. The music of Star Wars & the Mandalorian comes from the GOAT, Ennio Morricone who composed this film. And fun fact, Boba Fett & Cad Bane are inspired by Blondie & Angel eyes from this film

[@x_mau9355]

The dusty uniforms of the cavalry is historical geographical accurate. In the area there were chalk mines...

[@avatarname0008]

Someones probably said but the way this film was shot was everyone was speaking their own language so someone from spain was speaking spanish while clint and eli wallach were speaking english then dubbed over in post production

[@ForgottenHonor0]

Spaghetti Westerns, like this one, were shot in Italy using a predominantly European cast with one or two big name American stars to draw in the crowd. That's why a lot of the dialogue spoken by everyone except the three leads doesn't match their lips, it's dubbed over.

[@lalou4617]

This is good. You keep coming up with conversation points. Blondie was as good as he could be considering the world he lived in. He wasn't a school teacher or a banker. He was a gun for hire and he had to understand the bad in HIS world to survive. But what made him good was his compassion that he showed a sense of fairness. After all, he may have strung Tuco up but he did leave him his share. And, he never killed or robbed innocent people. That's as good as you can get in the bad, bad west!

[@RXone2one]

Si Mexican standoff!! I grew up watching and loving this movie. When I was little I didn't understand, as I grew up and watched it more and more I understood it. Much like how everyone is saying in the comments that the good and the ugly are more human than the bad who only thinks for himself was like a lesson in a way. The music is perfect!! I'm glad you liked this film. Descansa en paz amigo.

Blondie totally deserved “the good “ title. After all tuco did to him and he still lets him live and gives him his share of the gold- because tuco did play a part in helping him get the gold and he was appreciate of that and he couldn’t bring himself to kill someone when he doesn’t have to. Blondie is a. Dangerous man but Unlike the other too blondie has honor and empathy.

[@bigredtlc1828]

The director shot these films with no sound. All the actors dubbed their voices in post-production. That's why there isn't much additional sound around the voices. Sergio Leone added in all the other sounds later as well. Thanks for reacting.

[@momsnoteatingbugs1919]

There was sound, just no recording. Everyone said their lines in their native languages and Leone often had Merricone’s score, which had been written prior to the start of filming, playing in the background. Dubbing took place in post.

[@drewfromyay882]

Ennio Morricone was an amazing composer. He also scored Sergio Leone's other spaghetti westerns.

[@charleshays5407]

He did the music for The Untouchables, The Mission, and won the Oscar for The Hateful Eight.

[@mikecaetano]

Funny how during the shootout in the war ravaged town you kept asking if there would be a Mexican standoff. But got so caught up in the music and the close ups during the actual Mexican standoff at the end that you forgot to ask again. Sorry about your friend. When you're ready for more Clint Eastwood Westerns, check out "A Fistful of Dollars", "High Plains Drifter", and "The Outlaw Josey Wales".

[@lemousquetaire7037]

The original (Italian) title of this movie is “il bello , il brutto et il cattivo “ which means “the handsome , the ugly and the bad one”. Of course that didn’t fit well so they changed it to “the good, the bad and the ugly “.

[@x_mau9355]

Sorry pal. Also in the original Italian title Blondie is the Good, il Buono.

One of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time and all you can come up with is "Oh my gosh, its taking so long..." Lordy Lordy! 🤔

[@BuccWylde]

Probably the most recognizable score in cinema history, maybe next to the Star Wars theme. Also at the time, the single most expensive shot in movie history...the destruction of the bridge. This film is a masterpiece. Leone loved shots that were wide angle panoramic scenes from extreme distances, and alternatively, super tight, up close shots of the actor's sweaty mugs. There's a reason Tarantino cites this as his favorite film. He's borrowed so much from Leone's style over the years.

[@MrAkilleus]

First of all; I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Can't imagine such a thing. 😢 Secondly: about this movie and happier subjects; This is one of my all time favorite films! So happy to see you react to it! And about Tucos crimes, my interpretation of the scene is that he and Angel Eyes kinda nurtured the rumours about him to make sure his bounty got high enough. But who knows, he may have been guilty of all of it. 🤷 The beauty of the story is that really no one is good, bad or ugly, they are morally grey and are capable of doing some messed up shit if it gives them an upper hand. I just love realistic stories about people just being people. I also love the humanising scenes line the one with Tuco and his brother and the dialogue between him and Angel Eyes that follows. The coping mechanisms he's using rather than facing his brothers rejection is heartbreaking and Angel Eyes offering him the cigar, him knowing what actually went down, is so damned beautiful! Sorry ahaed of times for the drunken ramblings, but I really love this movie. All the best! ❤

[@frenchynoob]

[@DylansPen]

One of the great westerns. The cemetery was empty land and the Spanish army built the whole thing with the graves and the center stone courtyard in two days. There is another film that came out just after this one where Clint and others are looking for gold called Kelly's Heroes which is definitely on the must watch list as well.

[@charleshays5407]

The cemetery became a tourist attraction. There is a documentary on the recreation of the cemetery.

[@bewilderedbeest]

Angel Eyes (the Bad) put a pillow over the guy's face before he shot him to keep from getting splattered with blood, not to muffle the sound.

[@hisdudeness8328]

7:36 Fun fact: that was actually Eli (Tuco) on the back of that horse. For realism of the shot, the director had him tied up and on the back of the horse. The gunshots from the scene spooked the horse into running, and it ran clear off the set with poor Eli straddling it with his hands tied behind his back. Supposedly the horse ran for almost a mile before set crews were able to catch up and clam the horse down and get him off.

[@davidmckie7128]

There are three films that nowadays are called the Spaghetti Western Trilogy. All three (A Fistful Of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good The Bad And The Ugly) are stand alone films and even though there are some of the same actors in each of them, they are playing different characters. The link is Clint's character is the same in all three. The first one focuses on Clint, the second focuses on Van Cleef and the last focuses on Tuco. They are all worthy of a watch. Ennio's scores for all three are amazing. Another good Sergio Leone film is Once Upon A Time In The West. Also this film is a kind of prequel to the others chronology wise.

[@anzaeria]

Mary, I am sorry for your loss. It's good that you can use movies as a form of escapism during times like this. I'm glad that you have watched one of the greatest westerns of all time. The three main characters facing each other in the cemetery (just before they draw their guns) is one of my favourite sequences. The tension is amazing and I really dig the close up and the music.

[@lalou4617]

BTW. The Leone/Eastwood spaghetti western trilogy consisted of. A Fistful Of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!

[@SilentJutube]

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly are part of the The Man With No Name Trilogy. And even though all three stories take place in the Old American West. they were dubbed because nearly all Italian actors

[@CHRISTIANNWO]

Fun fact: the scene where they blow up the bridge had to be done twice. Some A-hole blew up the first bridge before the cameras started running....... Sergio Leone was pissed.

[@PeteOtton]

One small tidbit, Eli Wallach and Surgeo Leone communicated with each other in French.

[@herrzimm]

"Spaghetti Westerns" were NOTORIOUS for being "dubbed" for multiple reasons. 1) They didn't always have the sound crew set up properly on the scene. So, most of the "effects" would be added in post-production, so might as well do the voice dubbing as well. 2) Most of them were filmed with a crazy mix of cast that didn't always "speak English" properly.... mispronunciations and accents were a problem. Even the film crews had problems talking to each other. I mean, when you have American actors, filming in Spain, with an Italian crew and European writers... you get a mix of languages on the set. 3) And possibly the BIGGEST reason for the dubbing.... because depending on WHERE the film was shown, you might have a different script. So, the "Spanish version" may have different conversations than the "Italian version", which itself would be different than the "German version" or "American version". But, due to the cinematography, the set designs and the performances... SO MANY careers were launched into "super star" status due to the Leone films. Sergio, of course, became one of the biggest influences on cinema during his time. Clint obviously became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, so much that he became an ICON as both a director and a performer, but also as a writer and producer. And Eli Wallace/Lee Von both saw their careers take off at a time when they were both worried about being viewed as only "bit character actors".

[@philmullineaux5405]

After seeing how tuco is,this is why Blondie left Tuco the first time,thinking of he put enough distance between them, Tuco wouldn't come for him.

[@mervinmerencio6861]

[@Neotron2001]

Eli Wallach. My goodness, what an amazing performance. R.I.P.

[@findlestick]

Love Tuco. Extremely charismatic character.

[@donkfail1]

The badly synced lip movements is from the whole movie being shot without sound. It was the European way of doing it at the time. All the voices and sound was recorded after. It gave a few advances though. Sergio Leone used actors from all over Europe and some of them couldn't speak (or even understand) the other languages. Some said their lines in their own languages or with too much accent. And movie dubbing was far more common back then anyway, so then it didn't matter too much. And because you noticed the epic music by Ennio Morricone; Leone used the fact that he filmed without sound in at least later movies. For his last movie, Once Upon a Time in America (1984), him and Morricone had already recorded the music before filming started, so at the set he played the music on hidden speakers so the actors heard it while working. From what I've heard from interviews it was a great help getting into the mood of the scenes.

[@x_mau9355]

The thing is that Leone wanted to recreate in his movies is child time fantasies and cowboy-indians playing and the stories he heard of. It's not simply a western movie, it's a kid's dream coming true. Therefore you have this extreme idealized figures of the bounty killer, the gun-slingers, the bad guy.. as well as the whole world around. And yes Leone's works have become the ideal Golden Standard of what was the wild West. There are maybe better western movies, if you like the genre, but if you want a movie, more than just a western movie, here you are: cinematography, soundtrack, actors, action, one-lines and so on.

[@9sunskungfu]

You are watching the extended cut of the movie, 12:00 was a deleted scene that was still dubbed by Eli Wallach in his 80's mind you, thats why he sounds a little high pitched in his old age.

[@everlastingpass1on]

The movies, 'The Good The Bad and The Ugly,' 'A Fistful of Dollars' and 'For A Few Dollars More' are westerns starring Clint Eastwood and directed by Sergio Leone, were called 'spaghetti' westerns, because they were directed and produced by Italians and mainly filmed in Italy. So it's possible some of the smaller roles were cast with locals who didn't speak English that well and had to be dubbed.

[@adamhigh9884]

Sorry to hear about your friend Mary. Your reactions bring a little joy into our lives and I hope that provides a little comfort.

One of best musical piece in cinema history comes from this film. The scene from the last show down is just magical.

[@DaveAlkema]

"So far I don't know who's on who's side..." Yeah, that's this movie summed up in one sentence!

[@bewilderedbeest]

This movie was 3rd in the Dollars trilogy: A Fistful of Dollars; For a Few Dollars More; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Eastwood's characters are commonly known as the Man with No Name. Many people mistakenly believe that Eastwood is playing the same character in each film, but actually each movie in the series is a stand alone story with no continuity of characters. Sergio Leone (the director of all 3 films) never intended for the movies to be a trilogy, but when United Artists distributed the movies in the US, they marketed the films as a trilogy, coining the terms, "The Dollars Trilogy" and "The Man with No Name". Actually, Eastwood's character does have a name, and it's different in each movie: Joe, Manco and Blondie. Also, Lee Van Cleef, who played "the Bad" in this movie, played a heroic character, Colonel Mortimer, in "For a Few Dollars More".

[@bewilderedbeest]

Sergio Leone made a fourth Western, "Once Upon a Time in the West" with a Man with No Name type character called Harmonica. He wanted Clint Eastwood to play Harmonica, but Eastwood refused, so Charles Bronson was cast instead. If you watch this movie, you'll see that Bronson is playing essentially the same type of character that Eastwood played in the Dollars Trilogy.

[@halhortonsworld5870]

These movies were made in Italy and Spain by an Italian film maker. Many people in the film didn't speak English. That's why they are called 'Spaghetti Westerns'.

Sorry for your Loss Mary. The reason why people makes execution via a firing squad is because you can't determine whose bullet killed the prisioner.

It's a Spaghetti Western filmed in Spain, and some of the cast can only speak Italian or Spanish, hence the lips out-of-sync in many scenes. Eli Wallach was such a great actor, he has a tremendous Bio/filmography. He never 'won' an Oscar, but was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Honorary Oscar. This theme song is so fun to play on a Stratocaster!

This was when Clint Eastwood wasn't famous yet. These, so called spaghetti westerns shot in Europe by director Sergio Leone were part of a trilogy. Like someone commented before, you had Italian and Spanish actors playing the roles of Mexicans and desperados during the time of the civil war.

[@philmullineaux5405]

Spaghetti westerns were shot in Italy. So most actors voices also had to be dubbed. Also, there was no regulations, for 2 or more guys standing in one camera frame, shooting each other, blood splats, violence towards women, kids, etc. So after these got made, American TV and cinema changed radically. Primarily with George Roy Hill, and Sam Pekinpaw!

[@hisdudeness8328]

8:40 Another fun fact: During this second rope hanging scene, the section of the rope that was meant to be shot had small amounts of dynamite powder stuffed in it to make the rope snap in one shot, the bullet missed the mark and spooked the horse into running. So that face that Eli (Tuco) makes when he’s literally left hanging in the air was REAL!

Hello Mary Cherry, the dubbing is what makes this movie a genuine " Spaghetti Western ".

[@MrGadfly772]

It is dubbed. The stats are Americans bit all the other characters ate played by Italian actors. These Clint Eastwood movies are called Spaghetti westerns because they are made in Italy. The movie was dubbed with the American actors for Italian audiences and vice versa for the American audiences. The iconic music is by Ennio Morricone. These characters ate called what they are due yo their behavior not their looks. I'm an old guy so I remember these times. A funny story is that the Oscars are of course live and there was a screw up and they threw Clint out there to say something to the crowd. All he could say is: "Well usually I don't do much talkin' in my movies."

"The Outlaw Josey Wales" is Eastwood's finest Western film, IMO. The supporting cast is awesome.

[@terribletimes902]

For A Few Dollars More is more better

[@Stogie2112]

@@terribletimes902 …..”more better”? 😆😆

[@malarkey2217]

More Leone spaghetti westerns? 'A Fist Full of Dollars', 'For A Few Dollars More', 'Once Upon A Time In The West' and ' A Fist Full of Dynamite'.

I am so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain as my dad who loved westerns just passed away 11/25 he was 91. Great reaction.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

These movies were famous for ushering the modern western that features an anti-hero who really isn't good. Previous westerns would always have lead as a law abiding hero. This type of movie is more interesting and resembles real life where people are mix of good and bad and are driven by their own self interests.

well. poor tucco, did you hear his list of charges? he ain't taking that money anywhere. he has no horse or mode of transportation. blondie gave tucco a death sentence. and yes, the sound effects, the partially dubbed dialogue, its an italian film, and especially the score all combine with the wild characters and wonderful screenplay to set this film apart. all sergio leone films have an unmistakable style. sorry to hear about your friend.

Fonts for printing back then were made of lead or wood so having many different fonts took up a lot of space and were heavy to transport. This is why small town print shops only carried a couple of them. You had to have individual letters in a few different sizes to put together your jobs. My family had a print shop that still used lead type right up to the 90's. My dad eventually melted most into fishing sinkers and lost it in Flinders Bay. lol I wish we had kept some as it is rare now and worth much money.

The Good doesn't mean Blondie is a nice guy. It means one, he's the best shot. so he's a "good" shot. The Ugly is a good shot but is the least intelligent. The Ugly is the smartest, but is the least skillful shot. Blondie has one on each of them. Also, Blondie has the most good in him of the three. But in the old west, one thing you didn't do was threaten another man's ego. So Blondie made a point to show Tuco who was superior.

[@beannathrach2417]

Italian westerns are filmed with each actor speaking their own language; the extras are Italians speaking Italian. Then everybody is dubbed over to the movie release language. The Good, the Bad, and Ugly are American actors speaking their own lines. The movie is vaguely based on a Civil War action in the Arizona territory. The Good and Ugly get their fair share and the Good gets a head start to escape the Ugly. Everybody grieves in their own way.

[@marttog]

About their lips not moving with the dialog: It was filmed in Europe and since each country dubbed movies into their own language, Sergio Leone just had the actors say their lines in their primary language.

[@robertlopez628]

This is one of my favorite western movies.

[@keithhayworth]

The skeleton in the grave was the real remains of an actress who in her will wanted to act even after her death.

[@JMB86]

No way. The single greatest western ever made.

[@doubleswords]

As much as I love Clint Eastwood, I feel that Eli Wallach was the star of this movie. So many lines and such latitude in acting. The only other film I've seen him in is "The Magnificent Seven".

[@rodlepine233]

the pollow over the face was Not to silence the gun as it was too far away it was to stop the splatter of blood and brains from coming back and hitting him

[@BulletTooth504]

The Union captain is like, "Hell yeah! Fuck that bridge! I can die happy, now!"

[@jsonkody]

5:47 pillows doesnt work as a silencer so it's right .. he just use it to keep the man on place and prevent blood from splashing around probably :/

[@bluebird3281]

He used the pillow to keep the blood splatters off of himself.

[@GhostOutcast24]

Yeah half the actors are speaking Spanish and there are a few scenes that were deleted and re-added latter. I love this move and Iv been watching it since I was like 5 lol

[@CrazeeAdam]

That scene at the chapel towards the end with the wounded solider is also significant because in the other "Dollars" movies (For a Fistful of Dollars and a Few Dollars More), the other movies in this trilogy, Blondie often wears that poncho.

""Why are they zooming into his eye?" Because he is crying... he knows that the music he is playing is to cover the sound of a soldier being tortured...
