Tuco is the most interesting character as he has an identifiable back story. The scene with his brother makes Tuco human. He became a bandit because of poverty. Also the scene called “ecstasy of gold” is one of the best (if not the best) cinematic combinations of music and image. To be honest Ennio Morricone’s score is epic.
The music in this film is one of the main characters. It is so much more than background music. It is the focus and driver of scenes. It's powerful and tangible. Morricone was absolutely fantastic on this score.
I agree.
He's the only one who does any real acting.
The other guys are, of course, very cool,
but Tuco is by far my favorite.
The scene with his brother...
@@chrismaverick9828 couldn't agree more.
Fun facts about Eli Wallach. Bachelor's degree in history. Masters degree in Education. Drafted into army 1940. Became medic and staff sargeant, then was sent to Officer Candidate school and commissioned. Served as a medical administrator, discharged as a Captain. Married for 66 years (1948 until his passing at age 98). Never drank. That's on top of his long acting career. A pretty formidable human being.
37:41 Let us take a moment to appreciate how Eli Wallach stayed in character despite coming _that_ close to losing some fingers from that flung shovel. Although that's hardly the only time he risked life and limb during shooting...
Fun fact: The famous riff in the movie's opening theme is based off the noise a coyote makes. Coyotes typically symbolize cleverness, strategic thinking and resilience. When the opening credits end and the movie properly begins, a coyote can be heard in the background making the noise the riff is based on, as soon as that first bounty hunter steps onto the screen. In my mind, that's the movie's way of telling you what it's all about: Bounty hunters and bandits tricking each other. Especially since that riff plays over Blondie's, Angel-Eye's and Tuco's freeze frames.
You have to watch “Once Upon A Time In the West”. Also one of my favorite movies.
Hear hear! Brilliant piece of cinema, Leone & Morricone at their finest.
Sergio had a unique filming style. He never recorded any Sound while filming, so everything you hear, from the Dialogue to the footsteps was recorded in Post Production, Weeks after filming had wrapped.
Although filmed in Spain, we referred to these as "Spaghetti Westerns". And due to Contracts written in different Countries, American Contracted Actors like John Wayne couldn't appear in Overseas Westerns with Clint Eastwood.
To be fair, it was typical of movies done in Italy during this time to not film them with direct sound. Heck, Federico Fellini did his films silent as well, as did pretty much every other top rank director down to the smallest genre director. Was just the way they did it - and allowed to have actors appearing from all over the world without language issues coming in the way.
Look at the three characters as the three aspects of man. Good, Bad and Human. Tuco has to choose between good and evil and constantly gives in to temptation...and gets bitten hard. Tuco has a guardian angel (The Man with No Name), who never kills those who don't deserve it (subtle though it is) and Tuco seeks revenge on his angel - who constantly gives Tuco another chance. It's a great parable wrapped in a great tale.
Beautiful analysis.
Thank you.
The real trick to a 3 way shootout (and part of the tension) is it is normally the person who draws LAST that wins the fight. One person draws, shoots his target, but then gets shot by the third guy. Thus instead of trying to out-draw your opponent (like in a tradition duel) you are playing a deadly game of chicken.
I’ll try to remember this the next time I’m in a three way shootout. Thanks.
@@justmeeagainn You're going to look like a real asshole now if you end up in a three way shootout and have to come back and apologise to Mr. Woll.
Greetings from Rome, Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone's city. I loved your reaction, your reading about that movie is perfect: it's epic (the story, the characters, the music) and yes...none is 100% good there... ;)
Great reaction! A triple draw, yes I suppose but it is better as a 'Mexican Standoff. Also if you watch a scene from Reservoir Dogs there is a tribute to this scene by Tarenteno.
Watch Lonesome Dove. It will be your new favorite western movie!
A very good movie, but come on
La mejor pelkcula de la historia.
Masterpiece.
$200,000 in 1862 in gold coins was 10,000 1-ounce gold coins or 5,000 1-ounce gold coins each; a modern value of $8,250,000 each.
1. A Fist Full of Dollars
2. For a Few Dollars More
3. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
a.k.a. "The Dollar Trilogy"
Best Western of all time.
Great reaction. You definitely need to watch the other two of this trilogy though (a fistful of dollars and for a few dollars more - my fave). The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was actually the third of the "Dollar Trilogy"
A couple other really good westerns would be How The West Was Won or for something light hearted watch My Name is Nobody or any of the Trinity movies. My favorite is My Name is Still Trinity.
The next movie Sergio Leone directed is Once upon a time in the west (1968), a great one. I just don't understand why almost nobody does a reaction to that movie. Is it not available or always blocked??
Once Upon a Time in The West is also excellent :)
Thats why Boba Fett WAS so cool. Now Mando.
You need to watch The mule its a good one
Clint Eastwood was actually the "blueprint" for the cool no fuks given character. Before him it was always good guys and bad guys and no in between. The bad guys were bad and the good guys were always by the book. Clint Eastwood broke that mold and every character in movies or TV series simply copied that style weather it be westerns, cop movies or other dramas. I'm old enough to have seen the cultural shift, especially after Dirty Harry (a cop movie) came out in 1971 with Clint. It all changed after that. Still, no one does it better than Clint Eastwood.
The more I've watched this movie, the more Tuco became my favorite character.
You have two main characters that barely speak and a just as cunning and deadly tuco that cant shuttup. He's probably my favorite character too, tho it was blondie for a long time.
me too
He is, and always, has been my favorite.
He's more relatable. More human.
The scene with his brother.
Mine too. Loved Tuco. Bad but somehow vulnerable.
If you notice closely Eastwood doesn't really change into "the good" until he sees everyone dying because of that bridge. When he puts on the serape his character changes.
The poncho! Clint is the epitome of cool.
Eli Wallach played Tuco Perfectly.
8:53: Fun trivia: one of Lee van Cleef's absolute moral lines was that he would *never* film a scene even pretending to hit a woman. They needed a stunt double to stand in for him and then cut to close ups of Van Cleef's face to make this scene work.
They did a great job with the editing! I never knew that wow thanks for sharing
Eastwood's character won the triple-shooting because he knew he could just focus on Angel Eyes (as he had Tuco's gun unloaded). Angel Eyes didn't knew about that, so he had to split his attention to both Tuco and Eastwood, which made him slower
Exactly
Tuco's being unloaded is up among the top 3 planning-ahead 'reveals' in cinematic history. The OTHERS being a tie between (spoilers for The Road Warrior & The Princess Bride) scroll down if you've seen those movies)
Mad-Max the Road Warrior when we see that Max's shotgun was unloaded the entire time he was bossing the Gyro-Captain around.
The Princess Bridge when we learn that both Vizzini's & the Pirate's cups were poisoned.
“You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.” Immortal line.
Grew up watching this with my dad and he made me a sign with this quote on it last Christmas 👌
"Where?"__ Tuko was so happy with it :D
Great reaction! You have to watch "For A Few Dollars More" that's with Clint and Lee Van Cleef again ("Angel Eyes" in this one) and is directed by Sergio Leone as well. And then you have to watch "Once Upon A Time In The West", it doesn't have Clint in it, but it's arguably the greatest Western ever, directed by Sergio Leone, and stars Henry Fonda (as the bad guy!), Charles Bronson as a total badass, and Jason Robards.
Yes I second that. Once Upon A Time in the West was fantastic. The way that dirty, ugly Charles Bronson was the good guy but handsome, clean cut, blue eyed Henry Fonda was the bad guy , and he was very bad. And Jason Robards was great in it as well.
To me, the best Western ever, is either The Good, the Bad & The Ugly or Once upon a time in the West. Everytime I watch one of them I change my Mind. Sergio Leone, was brilliant.
Should also see A Fistful Of Dollars as well the first of the Dollars Trilogy spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood followed by For A Few Dollars More and of course best of the 3 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Please...... "THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES" (1976) >> Better than "Unforgiven"
The Outlaw Josie Wales is another great one.
My favorite Eastwood movie, so many great one liners.
The Outlaw Josey Wales will absolutely impress the hell put of you...I promise. Clint is awesome!
There is iron in your words of war... .. .
Classic MASTERPIECE !
I watched this alone one night around age 11 and got SO deeply spellbound that when the credits rolled I felt almost bereaved that the adventure had reached the end for me and I'd have to watch him ride away .. ... .
Masterpiece!
Same here I was 12 when I first saw it I was sick and stayed home and I checked the movie out my dad had it pirated and was in a box full of pirated movies saw the name and thought it was cool lol i fell in love with the movie and proceeded to fake sick the next two days just to watch it over and over again lol
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the best soundtrack
Im sure many have recomended Once Upon a Time in the West and Outlaw Josie Wales, so ive gotta recomend "Two Mules For Sister Sara", with Eastwood and Shirley MacClane, an underrated classic with just the right combination of action and comedy
You should listen to A Soldiers Story, the song played at the prison camp, with the lyrics you can read. It fits the movie and the Civil War perfectly.
Amazing reaction! My father showed me this movie when I was a kid, I always thought the gun shop scene was so satisfying even as a kid.
Awesome film and reaction Caped! Love that you'll review old-school, classic movies as you genuinely like film.
Yeah the most epic western for sure with some great music!! 'Once upon a time in the west' with Charles Bronson is a nice one too! 🎶
There was one that Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, and Henry Fonda did that was sort of a one last hurrah and adios to the West. It was called, My Name is Nobody starring Henry Fonda and Terence Hill. It's a bit campy as most spaghetti westerns but in a comedy way. It still brings a tear of nostalgia and laughter whenever I watch it. You'll understand why when you watch it and listen to Fonda's monologue.
that's actually, a great movie with a great soundtrack. The saloon scene with Terrence Hill is a gem!
Clint Eastwood is the original Badass, (after John Wayne)!
Before Stallone, before Schwarzennegger, before The Rock, etc., etc., etc., it was 6' 4" Clint Eastwood! This Spaghetti Western, (as they are called), is the last of three movies that make up the Trilogy, that the Man With No Name made.
The first was "A Fistful of Dollars" in 1964, and then, "For A Few Dollars More" in 1965.
Clint Eastwood is a National Treasure and an American Icon.
Remember when Marty from Back to the Future III, dressed up like Blondie, and took Clint Eastwoods name? Remember the scene when Marty is called out by Mad Dog Tannon, (Biff), and Marty put an iron stove door plate under his poncho? That scene was taken from the first movie in this trilogy, "A Fistful of Dollars", in 1964.
Check out some of his "Dirty Harry" movies
Sergio Leone, the writer, director, producer of this movie was pure genius. He portrayed westerns in a different light-- in a more realistic and gritty light than any writer or producer of westerns before. And the ironic thing is that he was Italian. From the incredible soundtrack (thanks to Ennio Morricone) to the acting and amazing cinematography, this movie is probably the greatest western of all time. If you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend checking out "The Outlaw Josey Wales", also with Clint Eastwood. Another fascinating Clint western, and "Once Upon A Time In The West", also by Sergio, starring the great Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda.
I love the grit, sweat, saturated colors and filling ambiance.
Me again😂
Also check out Once Upon a Time in America
Same director as this
Only watched it a few months ago but this is one of my favorite movies of all time. Besides the dubbing at times it’s one of the few movies I would say is perfect.
Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
This movie is the definition of a CLASSIC!
Fun to see people reacting to this classic. The cinematography and music made this movie so much more than an average western.
Yes, it was gritty and dirty and more real than the Hollywood versions of fine pressed shirts and perfect looks of the cowboys who just spend a fortnight on the trail lol
It's fun watching Film School students watch this for the first time.
They lose their damn minds because they're paying attention to both the story and all the film technique.
Like the pan when Tuco first runs through the cemetery, or all the editing cuts during the Mexican standoff.
Italian Westerns from the three Sergios (Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci, Sergio Sollima) are almost all recommendable.
I would recommend the original "Django" (1966) from Sergio Corbucci and to get funnier view to whole Italian Western genre, I would also recommend "My Name is Trinity" (1970) by Enzo Barboni.
Siverado or Quigley Down Under - must watches!!!!
Classic none better, 3 great actors. Angel eyes Lee Van Cleef , Tuco Eli Wallach and Clint !
The next Western up has to be Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch (1969) with William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Ben Johnson and Warren Oates. Nominated for two Oscars (Writing & Music), for Wild Bunch, Peckinpah ‘invented’ slow motion as an action element.
Please react to *The outlaw Josey Wales!* Starring Clint Eastwood himself! 😎
Here is some Good News that is worth eternal life. Romans 5:8-11
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life; and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation."
Mark 1:15
“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” 🙏
What is the Gospel? Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. John 3:16-17. You can read it online if you don't have a Bible.
Masterpiece ever. Greatness
Try The Searchers soon.John Waynes darkest Western.And try to watch more films pre-1990 (especially 1970s.)
They influenced modern film makers and they arent called classics for nothing.
My personal favourite western is El Dorado.
Its got everything in it,including a great cast.
Not even just my favorite western. Up there in the top five of my favorite movies IN GENERAL.
Hope you check out Sergio Leone's final Spaghetti western, "Once Upon A Time In The West". It's a masterpiece!
Here are 2 facts about the movie: Eli Wallach who plays Tuco Ramirez almost got decapitated by the steps on the train doing the chain breaking scene. Metallica always play "Ecstasy of Gold" as their intro in every show. Another great spaghetti western masterpiece is "Once Upon A Time in the West", it's more brutal, haunting, and serious than this one. Alot of anti-heroes in it too, like Harmonica and Cheyenne. Harmonica played by Charles Bronson is my favorite of all time. The westerns before these spaghetti westerns (Italian directed/stylish) were cookie cutter and clean cut heroes like Roy Rogers. The 60's broke the mold and pushed the envelope. The triangle or 3 way confrontation is called a Mexican standoff.
Other good Clint Westerns, High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider and I think you did Unforgiven. Now you have to watch some of John Wayne's Westerns. Most of his movies he's the white hat hero but Red River and The Searchers he plays characters who are shades of grey almost borderline bad guys. And another classic Western is Shane
You gotta watch Once Upon A Time In The West, a masterpiece and the only movie in which Henry Fonda plays a badass villain 😉 xx
Strongly suggest you watched the Coen brothers’ True Grit. A completely different tone but still outstanding
The great Sergio Leone. Would also recommend “Once Upon a Time in the West” (and also “Once Upon a time in America”-gangster movie with Robert DeNiro). For westerns, “The Wild Bunch” by Sam Peckinpah is another classic I think you’d love…
When Tuco is tied to the horse, talking crazy shit, I have laughed my ass off...and have never understood why other people didn't find it funny. Must be me.
All three of them are as ruthless as any characters in cinema. It's the perfect frenemy film.
But Blondie didn't want out in the scam: he just didn't want it with Tuco anymore because he had missed the rope and realized that the trust had broken with that miss. Remember that when Tuco finds him again, he's doing the exact same scam with "Shorty". And he shows no more than surface regret at having to let Shorty hang. So, no, Blondie doesn't see through greed that early. And he doesn't give up his half of the gold either, though that's a horribly heavy and conspicuous load to carry anywhere (do I feel for that horse!). Blondie doesn't come to any special level of compassion, insight or empathy until starting after hearing the scene with Tuco and his brother, and it grows during the sequence with the Captain and the bridge. Until then, he's sort of a minor, less lethal version of Angel Eyes.
So now do High Plains Drifter. You will love that one.
Then Pale Rider.
Classic movie, great reaction! Next you should watch 'Once upon a time in the west', another classic spaghetti western that gets overlooked compared to this one.
you should check out the movie once upon a time in the west staring Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda classic
Great reaction to my favorite western. All were great, but Eli Wallach was exceptional. RIP dear man.
"Once Upon A Time In The West" is next - another Leone film as good as this one.
A SIDE NOTE: John Wayne had his own style of being a Cowboy, but he had a Perfect Role Model. When he was starting out, he Patterned his Entire Persona after meeting a REAL Western Legend, WYATT EARP!
There was a joke that Personified Both John and Clint.. It was about using "John Wayne" (or "Clint Eastwood") Toilet Paper... "It's Rough, Tough and it don't take S&1T from anyone"
Yeah I like tuco the best, as for who's the good and the bad, there all bad on different levels 🤠
Badass reaction the good the bad the ugly the men with no name
I don't think tuco would of killed blondie, at the end they both drawed on angel eyes 👀🤠
May I suggest The Wild Bunch next
If you like Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns, the best one, in my opinion, is Once Upon a Time in The West, with Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, and Charles Bronson.
Other great classic westerns include High Noon, the original Magnificent Seven, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The best of the modern westerns is Tombstone.
if you're gonna shoot, shoot! Don't talk!
sergio leone did an even more epic western after this. 'Once Upon a time in the West
This was 3 of a Trilogy (kinda of)
If you haven't already REALLY should do
"A Fist Full of Dollars"
followed by
"A Few Dollars More"
Clint Eastwood done and directed a lot of good movies
"When you have to shoot, shoot; don't talk."
Once Upon a Time in the West, The Big Country, The Searchers, and High Noon are must see westerners
"The Searchers" Great movie and the only movie that I know were John Wayne plays a dark character.
Sergio Leone spaghetti western
Once upon a time in the west the best movie.
29:29 damn that was dirty
Yeah. You are right about being on a hot streak. These are the best westerns ever. Like you said. "This is like the most masculine showdown of all time."
This is the best western by far
Tuco n Eastwood remain friends for yrs till tuco died
Eli Wallach is his name. That really cool tho
Great reaction! This movie is absolutely phenomenal.
tuko was the soul of film
Thanks for the great reaction to this classic masterpiece. You did justice to one of my father’s favorite films. 👏
Sou brasileiro. Sergio Leone foi o cara. Fez a síntese de tudo que existia antes dele em termo de linguagem cinematográfica, sobrepujou todos antes dele, mudando definitivamente a cara do cinema. Praticamente todos os diretores de filmes de western e ação - e outros gêneros também não ficaram imunes - foram influenciados por ele. O cinema moderno tem o seu close.
Great job!
Best western....this film is ICONIC..music socre and storyline....during a civil war
The Good the Bad and the Ugly is Clint Eastwood's #1 movie of all time. If u liked this movie. May I suggest you watch the movie the outlaw Josey Wales with Clint Eastwood. Epic
Really enjoyed this reaction, especially that great moment at the end when that noose makes it reappearance. The perfect ending.
Great movie. I hope you do the all Dollar trilogy (There are 2 more movies this movies is the last in the trilogy but it is actually the prequel to the two movies). You should also the funny spaghetti western My Name Is Nobody 1973 (You are going to love the visual and the soundtrack). Another more modern movie you should see that plays homage to this movie is The Quick and The Dead 1995. This is kind of unofficial squeal to the movie :) ruclips.net/video/ynC0jLGBA_U/видео.html
Great flick, but I prefer "The Outlaw Josey Wales," a Clint epic, and "High Plains Drifter" (because it's the fourth of Clint's "spaghetti western" trilogy). Also see "Two Mules For Sister Sarah," important in the development of his directorial style (Leone with visuals and director Don Siegel, his favorite, for storytelling). But other great, overlooked Westerns from that era not involving Clint were "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hoffman and "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" with Paul Newman (also great in "Hombre" and "Hud").
This is interesting, this version has a bunch of deleted scenes. I first watched this movie around 30 years ago and rewatched it plenty of times since and I'd never seen some of the content that's in here. Thanks for sharing it and your reaction.
"Outlaw Josey Wales", "High Plains Drifter", "Pale Rider", "Hang 'em High", "Two Mules For Sister Sara", "Unforgiven" are all great Westerns with Clint as well. He has a LONG list of non Westerns totally worth a watch as well.
Very cool movie happy to enjoy it quick with another movie buff...Aresnic and Old Lace 1943...the most complicated horror/comedy of all time...lol
