- A Fistful of Dollars is a 1964 Spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood in his first leading role, alongside Gian Maria Volontè, Marianne Koch, Wolfgang Lukschy, Sieghardt Rupp, José Calvo, Antonio Prieto, and Joseph Egger.
The film, an international co-production between Italy, West Germany, and Spain, was filmed on a low budget (reported to be $200,000), and Eastwood was paid $15,000 for his role.
Released in Italy in 1964 and then in the United States in 1967, it initiated the popularity of the Spaghetti Western genre.
It was followed by For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, also starring Eastwood. Collectively, the films are known as the "Dollars Trilogy", or "The Man with No Name Trilogy".
The film has been identified as an unofficial remake of the Akira Kurosawa film Yojimbo (1961), which resulted in a successful lawsuit by Toho, Yojimbo's production company.
In the United States, the United Artists publicity campaign referred to Eastwood's character in all three films as the "Man with No Name".
As few Spaghetti Westerns had yet been released in the United States, many of the European cast and crew took on American-sounding stage names.
These included Leone himself ("Bob Robertson"), Gian Maria Volontè ("Johnny Wels"), and composer Ennio Morricone ("Dan Savio").
A Fistful of Dollars was shot in Spain, mostly near Hoyo de Manzanares close to Madrid, but also (like its two sequels) in the Tabernas Desert and in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, both in the province of Almería.

The Dollars Trilogy is the greatest triology ever made.
Good job with review Matt. Every movie in Man With No Name trilogy is a classic and type of movie (not just western) which will never be replicated or made again.
I think Gritty is a perfect word to use when talking about "The Man with No Name" Films, because they were made in a gritty way & for the time they were rough & violent. The way they were filmed the voice dubbing & Eastwoods performance all made for a Gritty Rough Western. Sergio Leone + Clint Eastwood + Low Budget + Western= Spaghetti Western and also The Grittiest Films of The 60's!!! Theres are major differences between The Wild Bunch & A Fistful of Dollars. Just because a movie is more violent doesn't mean it has more grit then the other. The Definition of Gritty is To Be "Tough and Uncompromising" I think that goes right with "A Fist Full of Dollars" or any of "The Man with No Name" Films.
3:58 Me neither bro.
wonderful job on the review on a good flick that helped jump start Clint's career
Yes, thanks for reviewing this classic! I love these movies, especially The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966)
I know I probably might get some hate for this but this is my favourite out of the trilogy
I prefer The Good the Bad and the Ugly, but I get why you'd choose that one.
Same here I think.
I watched "Once Upon a Time in the West" last year; if you liked the Dollars trilogy, then you'll love OUATITW. The Morricone score to West is just as superb as the Dollars trilogy.
0:08 to 0:15 I am not a football guy either
Awesome film. This is a good Western film.
This first movie of the trilogy is good, but my favorite of the 3 is "For A Few Dollars More".
The last gunfight in that movie is just so awesome: with the music from the music box, Ennio Morricone's score, great villain (Gian Maria Volontè again, but now as El Indio), the reason/motive why Lee van Cleef's character wants to kill the villain so badly, the cinematography, etc.
The last movie, "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly", is great too, but I like the second one the most.
Mostly because of the pacing I think of the third movie.
The pacing of the second movie is a lot faster, the third movie's also a bit long.
Great review man, subbed
Classic movie.
Didn't know about that tv opening. Good info.
Some decent "classic" Westerns I like: Shane and The Searchers.
Wonderful film and wonderful series. Good/Bad/Ugly probably on a shortlist of greatest films ever. Spaghetti [Italian] Westerns are a favorite genre of mine. American westerns are too clean and there's always a good guy. Spags have ambiguous characters, they are real people, violent and gritty. I think what helps is that the sets [mostly] are real, they are filmed on location and the dialogue is minimal compared to a US western. The sweat and the missing teeth are real. The music from Spags is my favorite kind of film music....Other high points of the genre: The Great Silence, Tepepa, Django, The Big Gundown, Sartana series, just the tip of the iceberg.
I like the eastwood old spaghetti western films but in my mind the best western is unforgiven
Must see: Once Upon a Time in the West!
Yeah its a top 10 werstern
Classic one of my favorite westerns. Watched this review on my Lunch break, made lunch better. Have you seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Very different, from The Eastwood westerns, but in my opinion one of the best of the genre.
I have it but haven't seen it.
I would recommend watching it. You said that westerns are not really your genre to review, but I thought you did a great review on "Fistful of Dollars". "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" is a movie that I think you will enjoy, the two leads have a history of great chemistry (Newman & Redford) it's a witty adventure with big shootouts & it's just old school fun. I think it will take you out of your comfort zone as far as reviews go, but in a good way. It is not John Wayne Goodie-Too-Shoes Western, but it's also not a Gritty 60s Eastwood or a Late 80s Outlaw Brothers in Arms like "Young Guns". Give it a try sometime. Don't let the PG rating fool you.
I dont undersfand?you didnt care for the story and ending of young guns 2 ?i expect a lot kf people dont care for the ending of titanic but thats the nature of history.you may not like if but thats what happ happened.
Actually...no, it didn't. That's the thing. For example, Lou Diamond Phillips' character grew up to be a very old man. You really think Young Guns 2 is historically accurate? Really??
I meant generally man.specifics,what movie is acurate?
