Lee Van Cleef is great in TGTB&TU, but somehow even better in 'For A Few Dollars More'. Colonel Mortimer might be 1 of the smoothest badass characters in film history.
The second scene, with the introduction of Angel Eyes, was the direct inspiration for "Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied France" in Quentin Tarantino's _Inglorious Basterds_ .
The actress who played Arch Denton, yes it was an actress, had in het will that her body should be part of a movie. One of the many back stories of the movie. Eli, who played Tuco improvised at least two scènes. One at the gun shop and the one in the bathtub. If you are amazed by this set. Watch once upon a time in the west. Its a great movie, with also interesting trivia like. Leone had made a hole village build just for one shot.
here for this. Part 3 FYI Sergio is a BEAST. He got a 3 picture deal. A Fistfull of Dollars For a few Dollars More The Good the Bad the Ugly. Then he was released from his contract and he went on to make my favorite Western of all time. Once Upon a Time in the West. But.... The Great Silence is a close second. (Which is the film Quentin copied the flavor of for, "Hateful 8")
You should definitely watch 'The Magnificent Seven' (1960). It's the western version of Akira Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' which, if you haven't, you should also definitely watch at some point.
Guns will totally work underwater, or even in space. The cartridges have their own oxidizer in the gunpowder so they don't need access to air to fire. As long as the cartridge is properly sealed and the powder doesn't get wet it'll fire. Shooting underwater is highly ineffective though, as water is very dense and the bullet quickly expends all its energy so doesn't fly straight or for very long. If you want more westerns I'd recommend "The Magnificent Seven" (either the original or the remake, both are great), and "The Quick and The Dead".
Eli Wallach who played the ugly, had a hard time drawing his pistol from a holster that Sergio Leone practically said “to hell with it, just have the pistol hang on a piece of string!” He also almost got decapitated during the shooting of the train scene when he was handcuffed.
Many call this a "revisionist" western, but for Sergio Leone it was a tribute to and a distillation of various elements from the old-fashioned classic American westerns he loved, especially those of John Ford. For his ultimate tribute to such films, the subsequent epic "Once Upon A Time In The West", he even took his cast and crew to America's Monument Valley, Ford's favorite location, to shoot some key scenes. Leone loved focusing on key ingredients of older westerns and exaggerating them to a rich cinematic excess.
The riff on Clint's character is that , in the two films before this, Clint wears that worn poncho (FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE ). This story is , in effect, the story of how " Blondie " starts out his life in Leone Land. People who see the films in order realize that moment when Clint finally shows up in the poncho...and in the theater, fans cheered.
2 other films are included in the (unofficial) Dollar Trilogy (as it was called) were marketed together after the release of all 3 films (mostly for TV) was quite effective. The films were not directly connected, but were similar enough to be put in sequence. This may be Leone's plan from the start, but was never official at the time of the films' release.
I’ve never understood why Eastwood’s character is called Blondie. He has a slight sun-drenching to his very brown hair. Kinda like calling your solid black cat Spot. That was a nice, long review, Ryan. Thanks.
Tuco's gun, slung about his neck, hidden in the suds, was still above the water. Bath tubs of that sort usually didn't have much water in them, because you had to manually haul water up to them, especially on a second floor.
Dogs actually do respond to being treated well and can then be a friend for life. They don't automatically love everyone even if they are friendlier than cats in general.
I don't remember where I read it, but apparently they had to shoot the bridge blowing up twice, because the first time someone detonated it before Sergio was ready to film.
This is the 3rd movie in the 'Dollar Trilogie', where Clint Eastwood plays 'The Man with no name' as the name of his character is so rarely mentioned, it could have just as well be left out. One of many little details I like in this movie is that it is one of the few cases in movies when we get to see that the money has actual weight. Blondie and his horse show it. Fun Facts: 1. Prussia, which together with others became Germany had observers in the Civil War. 2. The Bridge got blown up twice. The Spanish Army added a lot of extras and they let the commander give the order. Problem was he wasn't familiar with movie lingo so the bridge was blown up with no camera going. Luckily no one got hurt. Embarrassed the Commander had his men rebuild the bridge just to have it blown up again. This time the cameras got it.
The absolute must-see Westerns are: This, Once Upon A Time in The West, The Wild Bunch, Unforgiven, True Grit (2010), and Deadwood (TV series). Strong recommends, but optional: For a Few Dollars More, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, Open Range, Tombstone.
This is the extended version. It's everywhere now. The original American theatrical release cut certain scenes for good reason. Also a couple scenes added back have bland voice overs by the actors many years later. Cool for special content for fans, but not for watching the first time.
Wow, I love your sombrero! Does it also come with a slightly wider brim? 😁 By the way the score is of course by Ennio Morricone, the probably greatest film composer of the 20th century.
Are we best friends now ? I'm with you 💯 percent on the music, the movie, bad accents, potatos, and cats. I've never been able to explain how I feel about cats and dogs as perfectly as you did.
The composer for The Mandalorian also drew inspiration from this music. 😊 oh and if you're wearing a sombrero, you should say "Adios" or in cowboy "A-dee-ose" 😊 i think you would style a proper cowboy hat very well. I should know. Im from texas. 😅
Great react 🤠 Ryan! There are lots of Westerns to consider but two that come to mind immediately......and staying with Clint, "Outlaw Jose Wales" a masterpiece of the old Western and "Tombstone" a masterpiece of a little newer Western with ton of well known actors. You will love them both! Hopefully you have seen neither. Would really enjoy the watch with ya. Oh, and thanks so much for Halloween Break !!!!!!!!!!!!
Great reaction man! You got a lot of suggestions. I will go with mine if you want to indulge in the epic stuff directed by the master himself, Sergio Leone: Once upon a time in the West, with Charles Bronson and Henri Fonda. A must watch! Duck, you sucker! with James Coburn and Rod Steiger. Another must watch. Cheers man and so long!
Could you imagine living in this time period when just about every person you encounter is capable of doing anything to you because there was little to no law enforcement or consequences of just taking what you want and killing who you please. Honestly, that kind of anarchy probably does a society a lot of good in the long haul. It's a brutal dose of reality administered to those who live in delusion.
I'll see it in women reactors a lot when they see a movie moment of injustice. They'll say something like, "really, those kids can just bully that guy and nobody says or does anything about i???!!" I hear it all the time. lol. Just 100 years ago the police weren't just a phone call and 15 minutes away. It takes a big man to cry but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. You saw how "The Bad" slapped the ever lovin crap out of that lady? Yeah. You could be sitting at a Mcd's Saloon enjoying your lunch and any dude that next walks in that door could wind up doing that too you. And then that dude in the back of his mind always has to fear the bigger fish that'll do the same thing to him. If you had the balls enough to shoot someone, chances are everyone in that room will tip their hat down over their eyes and mind their own business cause they value their life more than the injustice. Unlike today's policy we're now told if you see a shooter and you can't flea, then you should rush them knowing you'll likely die anyways.
One of the all time great film scores... I don't really care for the movie. There's a lot of nonsense that keeps the plot moving forward, and every time it draws me right out of the movie.
The first Sergio Leone movie I saw was Once Upon a Time in America. It's... memorable. If you're going to watch it, and I hope you will, please take a moment to choose which cut. The options should be 249 minutes (original runtime), 251 minutes (2012 Cannes runtime), 229 minutes (standard runtime) and 139 minutes (American release). The director was definitely not okay with the American version which is not only shorter but also reordered. Hopefully you'll have a choice. The movie is from 1984, and I don't know what versions are floating around in anno domini 2024.
Ryan is such a contrarian; Everyone's watching horror during October so I'll just watch some comedy and westerns
Thank goodness. Halloween is so American and so stupid anyways.
Lee Van Cleef is great in TGTB&TU, but somehow even better in 'For A Few Dollars More'. Colonel Mortimer might be 1 of the smoothest badass characters in film history.

here for this.
Part 3 FYI
Sergio is a BEAST.
He got a 3 picture deal.
A Fistfull of Dollars
For a few Dollars More
The Good the Bad the Ugly.
Then he was released from his contract and he went on to make my favorite Western of all time.
Once Upon a Time in the West.
But.... The Great Silence is a close second.
(Which is the film Quentin copied the flavor of for, "Hateful 8")
"Spaghetti Western" - filmed in Italy
The actor who played Tuco(The Ugly) is also in The Godfather; great actor.
Eli Wallach is legendary! From TGTBATU to The Holiday! He could do it all.
A lot of stuff was filmed in Spain also. And Tuco was in The Godfather part 3 specifically.
That intro was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I almost cut it out completely 😂
Masterpiece. This is the “special edition” version with extra scenes that I think weaken it, but still…masterpiece.
You should definitely watch 'The Magnificent Seven' (1960). It's the western version of Akira Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' which, if you haven't, you should also definitely watch at some point.

i assumed it was just under the soap bubbles
Eli Wallach who played the ugly, had a hard time drawing his pistol from a holster that Sergio Leone practically said “to hell with it, just have the pistol hang on a piece of string!” He also almost got decapitated during the shooting of the train scene when he was handcuffed.
Great reaction as always. Looking fine cowboy looking fine.X
This an example of why cinema is everything.
Great reaction video as our friend please keep being yourself and doing what you do. Can't wait for your next video drop
Although this had the biggest budget of the 3 . They were all considered low budget films. Which is why they weren't made in Hollywood

If you'd like to see another really fun western, pick one of these:
"For a Few Dollars More"
"Once Upon a Time in the West"
"Rio Bravo"

😂😂 nice hat, cowboy.
Tuco is the star of this movie ✌️
The theme playing when he was running thru the graveyard wax ecstasy of gold and the 3 way gunfight theme was called il trio
Thanks!
I’ve never understood why Eastwood’s character is called Blondie. He has a slight sun-drenching to his very brown hair. Kinda like calling your solid black cat Spot. That was a nice, long review, Ryan. Thanks.
😂
Thanks for watching along, man 🤙
That hat is the next Uk-Mexico diplomatic incident. Jeremy Clarkson would approve 😂
Who helped you pick your cowboy outfit?
Emmett Brown?
You can tell I'm a bttf fan 😂
You must watch the next Sergio Leone's movie : "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" ! (1968)👍
Being an Italian movie the whole thing was made for only $1.2 million. Pretty crazy.
Tuco's gun, slung about his neck, hidden in the suds, was still above the water. Bath tubs of that sort usually didn't have much water in them, because you had to manually haul water up to them, especially on a second floor.
Dogs actually do respond to being treated well and can then be a friend for life. They don't automatically love everyone even if they are friendlier than cats in general.
Top 10 Westerns for Ryan to watch, ready, steady...... GO !!!!
I don't remember where I read it, but apparently they had to shoot the bridge blowing up twice, because the first time someone detonated it before Sergio was ready to film.
Or I guess, not shoot twice, but they had to rebuild the bridge
Geeeez, that would be a bad day!
This is the 3rd movie in the 'Dollar Trilogie', where Clint Eastwood plays 'The Man with no name' as the name of his character is so rarely mentioned, it could have just as well be left out.
One of many little details I like in this movie is that it is one of the few cases in movies when we get to see that the money has actual weight. Blondie and his horse show it.

Embarrassed the Commander had his men rebuild the bridge just to have it blown up again. This time the cameras got it.
If you like this, your mind will be blown away with ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST! by Leone also.
Best Western ever🔥🔥🔥
The absolute must-see Westerns are: This, Once Upon A Time in The West, The Wild Bunch, Unforgiven, True Grit (2010), and Deadwood (TV series).
Strong recommends, but optional: For a Few Dollars More, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, Open Range, Tombstone.
Tarantino has described this as his favorite film. It shows.
This is the extended version. It's everywhere now. The original American theatrical release cut certain scenes for good reason. Also a couple scenes added back have bland voice overs by the actors many years later. Cool for special content for fans, but not for watching the first time.
What accent?
Hey brother Try Tombstone, one of the greatest westerns of all time.
Now you need to do a comparison with Kurosawa's Yojimbo, the inspiration for this film.
It was “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964),the first of the trilogy, that was a remake of Yojimbo.
Nice touch with the cat @51.38
LMAO....when I was a teenager they would show all three movies at drive inns...its was called dusk to dawn....
Another classic Sergio Leone movie is his final one - Once Upon A Time In America (1984).
This is a true classic! Check out Clint in "Unforgiven".
Amazing movie. Really enjoyed this reaction.
"Ugly" reminds me of Waddo from Star Wars ep 1. You know, that flying creature that owned anikan as a slave.
I can see that!
Wow, I love your sombrero! Does it also come with a slightly wider brim? 😁
By the way the score is of course by Ennio Morricone, the probably greatest film composer of the 20th century.
Lee Van Cleef has the most intense and sexy face/look. Ohhhh yeaaaahhh. 🤔
IKR?!
Haha!
Such an epic film. You know what's amazing about this movie? It's free on youtube. 😁
At 42:40 the piece of paper that says "See you soon idiots" looks to be a page from a script copy.
I highly recommend Once Upon a time in the west.
Are we best friends now ? I'm with you 💯 percent on the music, the movie, bad accents, potatos, and cats. I've never been able to explain how I feel about cats and dogs as perfectly as you did.
👊👊👊
@@RyanCarrington 👊👊👊
It's good but For a Few Dollars More is better. Most only look at this one as it's more famous.
They were keeping Tuco alive to cash him for the bounty.
Great reaction to a great movie.
The composer for The Mandalorian also drew inspiration from this music. 😊 oh and if you're wearing a sombrero, you should say "Adios" or in cowboy "A-dee-ose" 😊 i think you would style a proper cowboy hat very well. I should know. Im from texas. 😅
Haha thanks!

You will love them both! Hopefully you have seen neither. Would really enjoy the watch with ya. Oh, and thanks so much for Halloween Break !!!!!!!!!!!!
Once upon a time in the West 🤠🤠 charles bronson and henry fonda
Great job here really enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 👊
Sentenza sounds better than "Angel Eyes" to me
Love your reactions! Keep at it.
Thanks man!
Also if you enjoyed this you should also.watch "a fistful of dollars" by the same director, it's basically cowboy yojimbo by Akira kurosawa
Great reaction man!
You got a lot of suggestions. I will go with mine if you want to indulge in the epic stuff directed by the master himself, Sergio Leone:
Once upon a time in the West, with Charles Bronson and Henri Fonda. A must watch!
Duck, you sucker! with James Coburn and Rod Steiger. Another must watch.
Cheers man and so long!

Please watch The Outlaw Josey Wales... It's not as big as this, obviously, but it's a great film on it's own.
Great reaction to an absolute classic western check out reservoir dogs an absolutely ferocious crime thriller 👍
That might be actually the first Tarantino movie I ever watched. I remember being blown away by that movie!
Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez
Another great reaction man keep em comin! Maybe another Adam Sandler movie?
Spaghetti Westerns are the best.
Quentin Tarantino does nothing but lift things from other, better movies.
I'm definitely beginning to see that viewpoint!
Blondie, manco, joe, hes been called it all
No. Film is perfect. Video and digital are imperfect.
Always say this is Duco's film. The others just support him.
Yeah Tarrantino is a rip off artist.
44:35 its set during the American civil war.
One of the all time great film scores... I don't really care for the movie. There's a lot of nonsense that keeps the plot moving forward, and every time it draws me right out of the movie.
F0h
