"If we cut down my percentage, who knows, it might just interfere with my aim" is such a badass quote 😎
“But if you miss, you’d better miss very well my friend. Whoever double crosses me and leaves me alive. He knows nothing about Tuco Nothing!”
“If you’re going to shoot, shoot, don’t talk.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eli Wallach is so awesome as Tuco.
One of the first movie lines I ever had stuck in my head.
He made such an impression on me that I thought, poor guy, must be tough to get a job if you're an actor with a face like that.
Then I looked him up in a movie encyclopedia (this was before the internet) and he looked rather Ok!
Upon rewatching this movie, I started noticing that Wallach had to keep his face 'mean looking' all the time. If he hadn't, you wouldn't recognize him as The Ugly.
@@AudieHolland Yes, he was actually a pretty decent looking guy. Watch him in "Baby Doll", and to a lesser extent "The Misfits", and it'll come across.
Their are two kind of people in this world my friend. Those that have guns and those that dig. Dig! 😅
@@AudieHolland Read his autobiography, The Good The Bas and me. It is a fun easy read.
I always thought that the trilogy is best described as A fistful of dollars being Clint Eastwood's movie, For a few dollars more being Lee van Cleefs movie, and The good the bad and the ugly is Eli Wallach's.
And you are correct. For A Few Dollars More was epic.
perfect
Directed by a Master & scored by a true Artist😎
The “if you’re going to shoot, shoot” scene inspired the original “Han shot first” cantina scene in Star Wars. (One reason I prefer the original version of that scene.)
and so do millions of others
Eli Wallach was told to stay down to avoid being injured by the train in a hairy stunt.
@@blueberrypirate3601 I always did wonder ab out that part.
too bad they left it out in this reaction.
awesome line I always laugh at Eli delivery.
"For Three Men The Civil War Wasn't Hell. It Was Practice." --Original movie poster tagline.
I absolutely love that tagline.
I did not know that. Thanks.
@@ThreadBomb How does it not make sense?
Watch ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA extended version. It’s real long but real good.
Yes, please! My 2nd all-time favorite film!
Nah! They need to watch Duck you sucker, then Once upon a time in the west, then once upon a time in America.
@@22013 Well, chronologically it would make sense if they watched Once upon a time in the West, Duck you sucker, and then Once upon a time in America.
But hey, if they get around to watching them anyhow, that would be great.
Eli Wallach should have got an Oscar for his role in "The Good the Bad & the Ugly" 🤠
Now it’s time for once upon a time in the west
Yes!!!!!
Keep your loving brother happy…
"My Name Is Nobody" is also quite recommendable. th-cam.com/video/2RYq1PLdT0s/w-d-xo.html
“When have to shoot. Shoot, don’t talk.”
Words to live by.
Eli Wallach improvised that line.
Tuco caught him monologuing.
One of my all time favorite movie lines.
Such a great movie , i rewatched it 100 times, best scene of the movie is Tuco running in the cemetary with music swelling looking for the grave he thinks has money.
"The Ecstasy of Gold": th-cam.com/video/rKFpaCMRWgU/w-d-xo.html
The end duel is a masterclass of editing.
The composer of the music was Ennio Morricone who is legend. He lived to be 91 years old and died just last year..
Actually he was born in 1928, so he wouldn’t have been 100.
@@jackdonohue7893 You're right. My mistake. I stand corrected and make the correction to my post. Thanks.
You guys are going to watch "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" right? It's Leone's greatest film. It's a masterpiece.
@Bawookles hope they do TH-cam reactors seem to avoid it for some reason
Yeah, they really *need* to do Once Upon a Time in the West. It's so good.
Agreed. If you love the score here, "Once Upon.." takes it up several notches. And the cinematography is utterly phenomenal. No Clint Eastwood, but Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and a truly evil Henry Fonda turn in fabulous performances.
@@drafter3412 and the gorgeous Claudia Cardinal one of my favourite movies of all time
I still think Once Upon a Time in America is his greatest movie.
Tuco running around the cemetery while playing Ecstasy of Gold gives me chills. And the following three guys duel is fantastic.
I'm already waiting for Once Upon a Time in the West.
The film was shot silently, so even English speaking had to be dubbed. It is known that the three main cast members (Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach) provided their own dubbing. Leone often liked to play Morricone's music over a scene and possibly shout things at the actors to get them in the mood. Leone cared more for visuals than dialogue (his English was limited at best).
There were actors speaking their native english, spanish & italian, which is apparently the reason for this.
Unusually apparently an extended version was made in 2004 - Eastwood & Wallach recorded new lines for the extra footage.
I think a number of 'spaghetti'(filmed in Italy) westerns were likewise dubbed due to non-english speaking actors.
Then why is the dialogue, also so good ? It's called a masterpiece for a reason.
The original "Magnificent Seven" also stars Eli Wallach at his snaky but lovable best, and is one of the absolute standards of the Western film genre.
I'd love to see you guys watch M7 and compare/contrast it with GBU
Original by that title, but a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s “The Seven Samurai”
Or watch the true original, Seven Samurai by master director Akira Kurosawa and by many considered one of the best movies ever.
And Kurosawa remakes are clearly working here, as Fistful was an unofficial copy of Yojimbo - even down to key scenes and lines.
@@nevrogers8198 My favorite Yojimbo remake is Last Man Standing, with Bruce Willis
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is the best western ever. The score and the treasure hunt narrative driven by the personal stories makes it a true epic. The cinematography and direction are brilliant. Eli Wallach is superb. The point of the civil war battle scene is to show the humanity of the main characters (who are not bad), after all the soldiers are killing each other so why can't these outlaws kill. Angel Eyes is bad because he kills without emotion and often for sadistic pleasure. Once upon a Time in the West is also great, but personally, I feel it lacks a bit of the magic of this era defining Leone classic that influenced a lot of great film-makers who came later.
It is interesting how foolish and wasteful the war seems to these characters who are outside of it.
Tuco isnt bad?
I swap between GBU and Outlaw Joesy Wales
Hey, Angel Eyes had a great work ethic though. When paid, he always seen the job through ;)
I agree with what you are saying regarding these movies and Once Upon A Time In The West.
Also Eli was superb.
@@alexarthur4456 - Oh, Tuco is not that bad, but don't get it wrong. He has done some bad things, but he has his own moral compass. Strange one in some places, but there are some lines that he won't cross. He is definitely not "Bad" as with Lee Van Cleef character. That guy would do anything. All in all, those are pure classic movies to watch. And I agree, Eli Wallach was just simply amazing there.
And if you like that, just check the music score, even one of the current performances such as "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra" on youtube. Morricone was a genius. And there is no question about it at all.
"Once Upon a Time in the West" is an absolute must.
The cinema photography coupled with some of Ennio Morricone's best scores in that movie is an unique experience to watch.
This. It's Leone's grand epos. Henry Fonda is absolutely magnificent. Probably Morricone's finest score.
They HAVE to finish their Leone marathon with that masterpiece. :)
Absolutely! Another timeless classic
My favourite movie of all time
I never could figure out why I hated that movie, because it _is_ well-made. I think it's that I saw Henry Fonda for the first (and maybe only) time as a really bad man. And I really really hated the scene in bed.
Epic is a worn out word nowadays but that is just what this movie is: one epic scene after another. Humor, tragedy, adventure, humanity (or lack of it), great oneliners...this movie has it all. And not forget the incredible scenery and MUSIC! A timeless classic. Will always be in my top 10.
There're so many subtleties in this movie that they tend to go over people's heads. For instance, the sequence where Tuco is on Clint's trail he's puffing on the discarded cigars so as to get an idea how close he's got to Clint. When he took a drag on that last one, smoke came up, meaning it was still burning, therefore it was left not too long ago, so he was getting close.
Excellent observation friend. you were very perceptive. Many fans may not have captured this subtlety.
Eli Wallach stole the show, what a performance. IMO he's the reason this film is head and shoulders above the previous two. Nice reaction fellas.
"Massive budget...."
$1.2 million US. It eventually took in $25 mil worldwide so it was a huge success, at least commercially. Critically, it was a mixed bag at the time. Now of course it's considered to be a masterpiece.
The public knows best. Most movie critics would dismiss the Sistine Chapel at first glance.
The thing is, unlike the first two films...this one is an actual epic.
Eastwood, van cheef and wallach at their best, not to meantion leone’s beautiful camera work and imagery. Also the best movie score ever
Leone the director had a 2nd trilogy with the theme as the growing up of America. It starts with "Once Upon a Time in the West" about the railroad advent. "Duck You Sucker" is the 2nd about the Mexican Revolution. "Once Upon A Time in America" ends the trilogy... about prohibition.
Once upon a time in America is a absolute masterpiece, I've not seen the other two I will check them out 👍
@@78KRS once upon a time in the west is as much of a masterpiece as once upon a time in America.
I'd hesitate to call the latter three a trilogy - it's not like they're linked in any way apart from by the guy who made them. "Duck, You Sucker" was renamed "Once Upon a Time, the Revolution" in France which encouraged the trilogy-ness idea, but I wouldn't put too much stock in that.
@@karlmortoniv2951 -- the trilogy was the adolescence of America. Leone wasn't originally slotted to direct Duck You Sucker (peter bogdonovich was fired shortly into the first weeks of filming) - but essentially Leone wanted to tell the turbulent arc of America after the horror of slavery... to show essentially that it was still horrible.
"High Plains Drifter" & "The Outlaw Josey Wales" are the westerns I'd recommend. "Dirty Harry" & "Thunderbolt & Lightfoot" are two other Clint Eastwood films you should watch. If, "The Man with No Name" trilogy, made Clint Eastwood a star, then "Dirty Harry", made him an icon.
"Thunderbolt & Lightfoot" a great choice, another great Western with Jeff Bridges is 'Bad Company' (1972)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, every single scene is iconic.
Fantastic movie.
"I CAN'T SWIM!"
...and an incredible 45 minutes of an amazing chase!
Great film
Yes. And every line is memorable.
“The Outlaw Josey Wales” needs to be next - Clint also directed it
High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider as well.
@@YeeLeeHaw Exactly what I was gonna say! lol
The Outlaw Josey Wales is probably my favourite western of them all.
Wales is to me, the greatest western ever made. GBU is right behind it
Are you gonna react to it or whistle Dixie!?
You should watch "Once Upon a Time in America" with Robert de Niro, also directed by Sergio Leone
Four hours long and totally overrated. There's about twenty Robert De Niro movies to watch before that one, and at least two Leone movies.
@@perrinyone1596 Yeah and deNiro plays exactly the same character in every film. DeNiro should pay the Mafia millions of dollars- without them he would have no career.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 Well....come on....KIng Of Comedy? Awakenings? Deer Hunter? You're telling me "Mean Streets" and "Godfather Part 2" are the same character? "True Confessions"? "The Mission"? Come on. I think Leone is one of the most overrated directors of all time, but De Niro changed the game in a way very few other actors have, definitely more than anyone had since Brando. Every actor from Joaquin Phoenix to Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldham take from De Niro's work. It's not even debatable. I think "Once Upon A Time In America" is shite, and De Niro isn't the problem I have with it!
@@perrinyone1596 Yes, De Niro is pretty much the same character in all his movies. Similar to Stallone in all his movies, Schwarzenegger, etc etc. Very limited range. He’s not exactly a sir Lawrence Olivier or a Gregory Peck.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 Interesting how you ignore the glaring example I gave you that obviously destroys your babble, but ok, hey....as long as we agree that "Once Upon A Time In America" is a four hour bore and a half, why get into a three dimensional conversation about one of the most influential actors of his generation? I'm not a De Niro fanatic, but the idea of him on the level of Arnold Schwarzanegger is so half-witted and laughable, I can't even take such a piece of drivel like that with any kind of seriousness. You might want to take an acting class to learn what it really takes to animate text. If you know what I mean, great. If you don't, then you just proved my point.
The gunfight at the end, to me, has to be the epitome of all western gunfights. In fact, everything from Tuco entering the graveyard is perfect.
However the scene that always gets me on rewatches is the Tuco torture scene with the choir outside. The loos on their faces that Leone shows. They know they are only called to sing when Angle Eyes and his men torture someone, and they are complicit in it by covering up the sounds. And the contrast between the music and the visuals. Top class film making
Kelly's Heroes is a pretty entertaining Eastwood pic with Donald Sutherland in a hilarious role playing a 1940's hippy .
Heartily recommend this. No negative waves from me.
Also best watched after seeing some of Clint's 60s westerns just to fully get one scene.
not accurate for WWII, but a lot of fun, and the reason I fell in love with the Sherman tank!
It's a fantastic movie. Sutherland steals the show.
A classic WW2 film, you'll love it.
There is even a scene in it paying hommage to Clints' spaghetti westerns - bloody hilarious!
One of the very best war films ever. Sutherland steals the picture.
This was one of my dad’s favorite Clint Eastwood movies. His favorite character was Tuco. He was so surprised when I told him that Eli Wallach was a white guy, not Mexican. He actually thought he was a Mexican actor 🤣
He's from Brooklyn, a method actor, which accounts for his total immersion in his roles. He plays a Mexican in "The Magnificent Seven", too, and steals the show effortlessly again, while up against the likes of Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen.
For a long time I thought David Carradine was part Chinese
Yep he’s Jewish
A caracterização e maquiagem perfeita nos spaghetti westerns era essencial para Sergio Leone. Ele buscava o realismo. Os faroestes anteriores nos EUA não apresentavam essa preocupação.
Resultado da maquiagem realística exigida por Sergio Leone.
Wallach deserved an Oscar for this movie. He's brilliant.
My favorite Western, Film is a masterpiece
“Once upon a time in the west” and “The wild bunch” are essential westerns.
Wild Bunch hasn't aged well. Once Upon A Time is good, though. Of course, I'll watch anything with Claudia Cardinale lol. Butch Cassidy held up great, True Grit held up ok, those are both from around that period. There are lots of great westerns. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. One Eyed Jacks is excellent, with Marlon Brando and Karl Malden.. The Bravados with Gregory Peck. Stagecoach is great, a total archetype, and with some incredible stunt work from Yakama Kanut, that guy's a legend.
One of my favorite moments is after Blondie sees Tuco fight with his brother, and instead of calling Tuco out on his bullshit about how well him and his brother get along, he just offers him a cigar.
Other recomondations; see Sergio Leone's two other Spaghetti Western films 'Once Upon a Time in the West (1969) and Duck, You Sucker (A Fistful of Dynamite) (1971). Or for some more Italo-Western films, try the "other Sergio"; Sergio Corbucci who directed such flicks as 'Minnesota Clay (1965), Navaho Joe (1966), Ringo and His Golden Pistol (1966), Django (1966), The Great Silence (1968), The Specialists (1968) and The Compeneros (1970). Other Italo-Westerns are A Pistol For Ringo (1965) and Return of Ringo (1966), as well as the Sartana series (1968-1970).
They call him Trinity
A Fistful of Dynamite is an absolute classic..👌
High Plains Drifter
The big gundown 1966 and a bullet for the general are also great Italian westerns to look out for
@@derekodriscoll7178 Seriously neglected and underrated masterpiece from Leone.
Love this. I went through these movies with my dad, when he tried to "educate" me to classics. I hated it at first, but before long I started to love the storytelling going on with the camera, the music and the acting. Lovely movies, lovely reaction. Keep it up. Oh oh! Before I forget. Do watch "Once upon a time in the West" and "Seven samurai" or "Yojimbo".
Best spaghetti western is "Once upon a time in the west". Best Eastwood western is "The outlaw, Josey Wales".
2 great movies
We got us the Josey Wales!
I'd put Wales behind GBU and A Few $ More myself. And was disappointed in Once Upon Time.
@@cheeseburger12 My favorite spaghetti Western isn't from Leone nor Italo-Spanish. It's Amercan: High Plains Drifter.
@@chrisbowling4060 I hate that one. I know a lot of people like the twist to it.
Now all that's left is "Once Upon a Time in the West."
Leone's masterpiece.
the clip of Tuco cutting his cuffs using the train almost killed Eli wallach, one of the steps onto train almost hit his head, lucky man. if the want a laugh and to see another great western check out my name is nobody .
And when the bridge blows up, watch a bit of flying debris absolutely SMASH into the sandbag right next to Clint's head . . . a lot of close shaves on this set.
yes, !!!
Honestly, they'd probably love most of the Bud Spencer & Terence Hill films.
Yes, I saw the interview in which Eli tells the story how he got almost decapitated by the train. Also, he almost broke his neck when he was riding a horse with his hands tied behind his back. What a guy...
If you think this movie score is great, wait until you hear Morricone's score on Once Upon a Time in the West. The harmonica on that movie is what the band Muse uses in concert to open up their song "Knights of Cydonia" and it's always such a fun time to hear and watch.
Agree the score in Once upon a Time in the west is awesome for me its simply the greatest western ever made but The Good the Bad and the ugly is a close second.
@@frankgunner8967 no a migo, you're wrong, the good the bad and the ugly music is the best and greatest western music ever made 😉
I prefer "The grand massacre" its my favorite piece of the soundtrack
'The Trio' is one of the best pieces of music in all of film.
Kurosawa films, please: Yojimbo, Sanjuro, The Hidden Fortress, and Seven Samurai 👍
Don't forget Ran, an absolute masterpiece plus in color.
It's also kinda fun to watch Yojimbo and Fistful of Dollars back to back - and see the scenes and lines that are almost identical. And see why Leone got sued, as he never sought permission to remake it.
plus ''Rashomon'', ''Ikiru'', ''Kagemusha'', ''Ran'' and my favorite ''Throne of Blood''
@@sntxrrr indeed, and that battle at the castle, without sound, but only that beautiful score!
Now we're talking. Leave the Leone and watch a real master work. Yojimbo and Sanjuro are fantastic, I just watched them again during the pandemic.
I believe the whole “Man with No Name” label was added by the American distributor, United Artists. The first 2 films were released outside the US and when they decided to release TGTB&TU in the US they decided to bring all 3 of in at once and gave it that “trilogy” title. Also, spot on on noticing Eastwood’s lack of enthusiasm. He was mentally over with shooting these films overseas, he wanted to come back to the States. Also, these films weren’t easy to make and were pretty dangerous at times. There’s an interview he did where he discusses the difficulties with filming these movies.
Eli Walack is Amazing playing A Mexican guy and being a Jewish Actor ...is truly amazing ...the playing with the gun and taking it apart and putting it back together was all improvised , i heard him in an interview said he knew nothing about guns...made that whole scene up ...SUBLIME...ACTING ..
While not a spaghetti western, you guys should check out Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America". It might be the best movie of Leone's career, the best film of the 1980s and the best score of all time (of course by Ennio Morricone).
Once Upon A Time In America came out in 1969, and yes, it is a masterpiece.
@@ronaldmilner8932 you're thinking of Once Upon a Time in the West.
@@ronaldmilner8932 "Once Upon a Time in America" came out in 1984 and is a gangster picture, starring Robert DeNiro and James Woods.
Once Upon A Time In The West (1969), Once Upon A Time Un America (1984).
Make sure you watch the right version. Not the shortened one and not the one lengthened with extra scenes.
That cigar is so iconic. It's also ironic: Clint Eastwood was never a smoker. He hated the cigar as costume.
It's the sheer epic nature and the scale of this one that blows me away every time. I have no idea if it's the greatest film ever made but the first time I saw it I vividly remember seeing the riverside battle set and thinking "This is the greatest film I've ever seen" because I was so swept up in the moment.
I congratulate you. I had the same feeling when I first saw it.
Two fun facts.
Due a miscommunication they had to blow up that bridge twice, because there were no cameras running when it was blown up the first time.
The cometary at the end existed only for a single day. It had to be removed as fast as possible.
“High Plains Drifter” is considered by some to be the 4th film in the Man With No Name Series.
Great Eastwood movie, with an unorthodox story for a Western.
Great movie
Very enjoyable movie, if you want more western certainly recommended
It is in no way the 4th film in the dollars trilogy. It has a completely different tone and theme. On top of that Clint is playing a wholly seperate character.
@@st_orlie - I said “some say” …. you’re obviously not one of those people, lol. Clint plays a different character in all the Dollars movies. It absolutely goes thematically with the unnamed stranger drifting into town and getting involved with righting some wrong, though i agree it departs in ways that can’t be said without spoilers. Think of it as an epilogue.
@@brettg274 and I said that those who say that are wrong. How you can dement yourself to see a connection between an outwardly rough, greedy bounty hunter who's ultimately good-hearted and a vengeful spirit who turns a town into a living hell is beyond me.
my brother was a twin of clint. tall, thin, dark blonde and hyper macho too. every time i watch this movie it takes me to santa fe and to my late brother's world.
so intense. so hard to process all of the thoughts and feelings evoked by this movie.
For more Sergio I highly recommend 'Once Upon A Time In America' *(by far the best film I've ever seen)* and 'Once Upon A Time... The Revolution' *(my all time favourite western)*
And an added bit of trivia - Eli Wallach was almost decapitated filming the train scene. They used a real train, one of the train cars had a set of steel stairs protruding downwards. Wallach moved away from the tracks just in time to avoid having his head torn off.
More Clint Eastwood movie reactions please. "Where Eagles Dare" and "Kelly's Heroes". WWII Eastwood movies.
The good the bad and the ugly is in the top ten movies of all time in my opinion. Best western of all time to me.
An acutely stylish and immeasurably influential film. Sergio Leone’s genius, I think, was in his amalgamation of seemingly disparate elements. He co-opted the folklore of the American frontier, merged it with the films of Akira Kurosawa, and painted the screen with a Pop Art sensibility. With arguably the finest cinematic trilogy of all time, Leone’s legacy and the impact of this series endure to this day. Sam Raimi, Quentin Tarantino and Edgar Wright (to name just a few) have most definitely taken notes at the feet of El Maestro!
The best thing about this trilogy is traditionally, a trilogy follows one set character or group throughout, but this is a trilogy of separate stories and characters, with The man with no name being the common character through out, yet not being the main character a lot of the time, it makes for an interesting dynamic. I did wish when Tuco was talking in the cave and mentioned a brother named Ramon, that it was the main bad guy from A fistful of dollars, but I'm pretty sure it was just one of the guys with him. Fun fact Eli Wallach isn't even Hispanic or Italian or anything, he was Jewish from New York, that blew my mind when I saw an interview with him and he was just a normal sounding dude because this was the only thing I had seen him in at that point lol
I've lost count how many times I've seen it. My fave film of all time.
This and The Searchers, incomparable westerns.
Regarding the Civil War history, the war did extend into the New Mexico/Arizona Territory that this takes place in but nowhere near the scale seen in this movie. There were no major pitched battles in the area like the bridge scene, the large battles of the war not taking place west of the Mississippi river (most in the in Virginia and around Washington D.C.). The biggest battle in the New Mexico territory was between about 1000 troops on each side and with about 50 dead for each side. Look up the New Mexico Campaign of the American Civil War if you want more details.
Please watch Once Upon a Time in the West. It’s the best ever western.
Burch few bucks g in
It's worth watching just for the weirdness of Henry Fonda playing a psychotic villain. But it's really good, you're right.
You mean slowest, most bloated and annoying Western ever.
@@OroborusFMA Just call it the Michael Moore of westerns.
It's slow and predictable
Did Eli Wallach get any awards for his role in TGTB&TU. That was the part of a lifetime and he did such a good job as Tuco.
"Duck, You Sucker" aka "Fistful of Dynamite" is Sergio Leone's most meaningful Western/Mexican film. I strongly recommend it. Also his most underrated.
Used to watch this on TV in the 70s/ 80s growing up they had it on the Sunday afternoon matinee before most people could even rent VHS tapes(before blue ray, before DVD before vhs and laser disc there was just TV and sometimes only black and white tv, lol) it would take all afternoon to watch with commercials, it was just an experience, never get tired of it. It's got everything, never gets old, definitely my favorite. Second best western for me is unforgiven,. Clint Eastwood is the bad guy being the good guy and laying down the law.
"Once upon a time in the west": The best western movie ever made: The plot, the story-line, the characters, the incredible shot-takes, the actors, everything in that movie is epic and first-class. A MUST.
Once Upon a Time in the West is not the best western movie ever made. Once Upon a Time in the West is the best movie ever made.
I like it, especially the waiting scene at the train station-brilliant scene-but I do prefer the Dollars Trilogy by a wide margin. And the Outlaw Jose Wales. And the Wild Bunch. And then ... Once Upon a Time is in there somewhere.
@@88wildcat unforgiven is an incredible and original take on westerns and is my top wester
@@deviousmiscreant4662 "Unforgiven" was directed and starred by Clint Eastwood who learnt practically everything from his experience as an actor with Sergio Leone. That's mainly why the movie is so good.
@@hichambarrak2902 and Sergio learned from others, that how art works. Of course you are correct in that Eastwood is highly derivative of Leone, so is Django: Unchained, and it's not like Eastwood's a bad director. I personally prefer the realism in Unforgiven, but that doesn't make other movies bad.
7:07 and 9:10, explanation: this is a 2003(?) restoration and redub of scenes previously seen in Italian version only. 37ish years older Eastwood and Wallach redubbed their parts, Van Kliff and others dubbed by stand ins.
My dad lives westerns so I grew up watching all of these movies with him. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is hands down in my top 5 favorite movies and Tuco is one of the greatest characters ever written. Like you, I go from hating to loving him.
One of the best movies ever made. Eli Wallach deserves an Oscar.
You guys need to react to Once Upon a TIme in The West.
A little bit of detail about why “the ugly” avoids taking a first sip when he escapes the desert: If your throat is too dry, just rinse your lips, because if you swallow water TOO SOON, your throat will tighten and you will suffocate.
The best Western Epic ever made!
You should give Terrance Hill and Bud Spencer a watch. “My Name is Trinity,” “Trinity is Still My Name” to name a couple of movies they did together. Also “A man Called Nobody with Terrance Hill and Henry Fonda. Another great movie I would love to see your reaction too.
This was a great reaction, thanks.
The Outlaw Josey Wales, classic Clint. Once upon a time in the West...class Sergio.
Ouatitw is slow and predictable
Don't forget S.Leone's A Fistful of Dynamite a.k.a. Duck you Sucker from 1972 starring Charles Coburn and Rod Steiger.
Fun fact: not one sound in this film is actually from the video recordings, it’s all foley and ADR. Not one sound in all the film is real.
Tuco: "Revolvers"
Gun Store Owner: (nods head) "Revolvers"
(Tuco swipes them off table)
You should watch 'Where eagles dare' for another great movie with Clint in a support role
Agree, a great film!
Yes.
Yes! Really fun movie with great locations.
Once Upon A time in the West may be the greatest Western ever made and it was certainly Sergio Leone at the peak of his craft. The opening sequence is a masterclass of tension building through the use of score, with no dialogue, that is still used in film school today.
Once Upon A Time In The West is nowhere near the greatest Western ever made, sorry Jack. It's Sergio Leone's best western, maybe. I don't think Leone is all that and never did, but ok, I'll accept that. But best western ever? Please, give me a break. I'm not even a huge western fan and even I know better than that. My advice to you is to start with Hell's Hinges and work forward. Here, look at the early history of the western, learn something: th-cam.com/video/8CDU148enA0/w-d-xo.html Better yet, watch the whole series, it's one of the best you'll ever see.
It's slow and predictable
Next: "The Outlaw Josey Wales" ... Also a Clint Eastwood western as well

“Dog.”
*half beat*
“Oh yeah. Cloud.”
No idea why it struck me funny, but it was what my brain needed just now. 👍🏻
Do The Outlaw Josey Whales next!
High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider as well.
@@YeeLeeHaw hell, why not Two Mules For Sister Sara too!
Once Upon A Time In The West! Watch it NOW, while Sergio is fresh in your heads!
People around Henry Fonda didn’t think that he should do it because it went so against his image, but it ended up being one of his most memorable roles…
Having spent most of my life in New Mexico, Southern California and Arizona, I've been privileged to see this type of scenery every day. Have been to Glorietta, just north of Santa Fe, hundreds of times. Clint is only The Good by comparison. If I were directing that, I would have ended the film with Clint aiming his rifle at Tuco's noose.
I loved your reactions…. That’s exactly how I reacted when I saw this film for the first time in 1980… best movie ending ever. The final duel scene? Wow!!… the music, no words, the camera angles, the cinematography… just a masterpiece in filmmaking.
One of my favorite movies of all time! And the soundtrack is a masterpiece! Sergio made Ennio Morricone compose the music first and then directed the scene to the music, which is pretty rare in movies. A good example would be the scene with Ecstasy of Gold and the Mexican Standoff. He did the same thing in Once Upon a Time in the West. Another another masterpiece!
The theme was number one in the UK music charts IIRC.
When Blondy brings Tuco for the first time to the law Tuco is so outraged: "Everybody, Look! LOOK! He is giving him the filthy money!"
The trilogy is playing at the BFI Southbank cinema, London in August if you want to see them on the big screen.
I saw it in The Theater when it first came out. Two Hours and thirty five minutes later I Did Not Want The Movie To End.
BTW: When you got to the Cemetery I started giggling. I knew what was coming.
Please react to The Good, The Bad and The Weird. Basically the korean version of this movie, really funny and has some great action.
This movie is legendary' I grew up watching this movie, now my son's watch this and I enjoy watching this through my son's it never gets old.
blondie towards the end of the film:
he protecc
he attacc
but most importantly,
he share gold and come bacc
@18:02 In this scene no stuntmen were used & that applies for the whole movie with so tight a budget. So Eli Wallach (playingTuco) has his head tucked down when the train passed but the steps leading to the wagon door was to pass only 4 cm from his head when this scene was shot (you can see the steps coming towards the cam when Tuco finally withdraws away & down). He also got backache from falling off the horse while both hands were tied several attempts at his second hanging scene where Clint eastwoond misses the hanging rope. Also both Clint Eastwood & Eli Wallach were poisoned for 5 days after drinking gasoline that was in a soda bottle thinking it soda. The budget was so little that Clint Eastwood had to use his own hat and poncho (blanket overcoat) in the three movies.
The good the bad the ugly is a good film. You guys liked the music, you should check out the Danish national Symphony, here on TH-cam. Live Orchestra. Oh yeah, try and squeeze in... lady in a cage with Olivia de Havilland and James Caan you won't regret it!
I loved these movies back in the days of VHS, bought these 3 and once upon a time in the West for a tenner from HMV, happy days 👍🏼
It's time to put *"Seven Samurai"* on the schedule, perhaps after a break from gritty realistic action.
Eli Wallach was almost badly injured when he was doing the scene where the train cuts his chains off, a step on the train almost hits him in the head and Clint Eastwood was almost killed when the blew up the bridge and a large rock landed right near his head.
One other Clint Eastwood western that most people forget to mention, but still a great movie, was "High Plains Drifter", a must watch because it's as far out there beyond the norm as it can get for a western.
Tuco skill rivaled The Good, or better. He takes down 3 Men in an ambush. "Opening scene" Then the subtle display, his accuracy with the targets. They never faced off.
You might enjoy the Korean homage to this film, 'The Good, The Bad, The Weird'.
Now you have to do "The outlaw Josie Wales". This is the first movie Eastwood both directed and acted in. He plays the same sort of character, but this time he has a name, a past, a reason for what he does. He is far more human. Chief Dan George is a RIOT! See the progression of the man with not name to the man with a name.
How the hell did I miss the For a Few Dollars More reaction?!
