When Clint Eastwood says the town needs a new sheriff, he means that the sheriff was a rat. If you noticed after Clint asked where Cavanaugh was, the sheriff (guy that lit Clint's cigar with his) went and got Cavanaugh's three friends from the barber shop and motioned to them there was trouble.
Called The Man With No Name trilogy, although none of the plots are related. I love the plot of this one, as Leone does a great job of giving out pieces of the plot without telling you everything. Interesting fact - Leone filmed his movies without sound and added the sound back in post-production. All the dialog was dubbed in the studio by the actors, including the English dubbing. His films have an international cast, with actors speaking different languages. Love these movies.
Not only that. It's not even really the same guy just the same actor. The only real relation is the fact they are Italian westerns. Heck. Lee Van Clef is in 2 of the movies playing very different characters.
The actor Gian Maria volonte who played the main bad guy in the first one came back and played the main bad guy in this one but obviously a different character it can be confusing if you're watching these for the first time😂
My dad was an extra in this movie and The Good, The bad, the Ugly, but not Fistful of dollars. I still have 2 memorabilia items from Fistful of Dollars used in the movie set tucked away in the attic after my dad passed away.
So after the first movie in the "trilogy" released in Italy and did super well, Sergio Leone called Clint Eastwood to make another one. Eastwood (who was just a new, struggling actor at the time) was like, "I haven't even seen the first one yet to know if it's any good," so Leone sent him an Italian copy of A Fistful of Dollars as they hadn't dubbed an English version yet. Eastwood invited his friends over to watch it with him and they had a screening. Even though no one could understand a word in the movie they were all like "Clint, that was amazing! You have to do another movie with this director!"
For better remembering, I just want to repeat what others said: "Once upon a time in the west" is a must watch after this trilogiy. It's the crown of Western movies.
Definitely this Dawn. I think you'll love it. It's long and maybe a bit hard to follow at first but that's deliberate: there's no rushed, out-of-character exposition; the pieces gradually fall into place. The cast, characters, cinematography, audio... as Legendary says, a masterpiece.
If you want a confusing story, definitely watch Sergio Leone's epic masterpiece Once Upon a Time in the West. The last scene is reminiscent of Colonel Mortimer's showdown with Indio.
People like to think of these movies as a trilogy, because they were all shot in the same locations and the same director... but they are different stories.
And most of the actors and extras were the same in all 3 movies, playing differnt characters, for budget reasons, as they were shot back to back to back.
@@joetuktyyuktuk8635So the Cornetto trilogy of Edgar Wright is not a trilogy? Trilogies can also be conceptual and not directly related. In this case all the 3 movie are straightforward action spaghetti western that talks about money and greed; shares the atmospheres, same director, composer, locations, almost same actors and extras and the character of Clint is very similar in each movies (and has the same outfit).
Even better than the first one, Lee Van Cleef is such a badass. Can't wait for your reaction of the third one, it's the best ! And with one of the best and most memorable soundtracks of all time
Hey Dawn!!! I thought I warned you on A Fistful of Dollars. You were right about some of the actors. They are the same actors playing different characters. Hope you read for the final film
'Manco' is spanish for 'one-armed' and fits Clint's character well. Uses one arm for everything to keep his draw hand ready. Recurring actors playing different characters is confusing but at least we get to see great actors again!
This is my second favorite, just behind The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Lee Van Cleef so rarely played a good guy and I always liked the novelty of it in this. He does a good job.
24:03 it's known that partners in crime dont fully trust each other, the sheriff would have believed the 2 of them were so greedy that each tried to kill each other to get the other's half of the money.
When you're done with the trilogy, I'd love it if you watched "My Name is Nobody" because I really think you'd enjoy its mixture of action and comedy, but it's more important for you to see "Once Upon a Time in the West" first. It's a "must see" masterpiece of the genre. Warning: the plot might be a little confusing if you get your brain in a tangle trying too hard to figure out everything ahead of time, so just be patient and go along with the story as it unfolds, and all will be revealed by the end.
"Baxters and the Rojos, none of them survived so we have new people." Yes, you'd think so but some of them look remarkably like some of the old people.
This one is my favorite of the three, largely because of the way they meet and eventually team up. And the ending is just perfect. “Any trouble, boy?” “No, Old Man. Thought I was having trouble with my adding. It’s alright now.” I mean, I don’t get teary-eyed like some unnamed lass, 😉 but still… love it! 😂
The funny looking man at 12:20 is German actor Klaus Kinski. He starred in my favourite movie "Aguirre - the wrath of god" . I say a movie directed by half crazy Werner Herzog and whole crazy Kinski can't be less than a masterpiece.
And his excellent performance as the chilling head of the Mosad unit in Little Drummer Girl. Otherwise, he was a huge PITA for directors. His daughter is Nastassja Kinski who was in the stunning film, Cat People, Paris, Texas and many other films. .
As probably mentioned, even though its a trilogy of movies, they are all individual stories not related, some actors appear in more than one. The only constant in all three movies is Clint and his outfit, Segio Leone the driector and Ennio Morricone the composer of the music score. I love the whoie trilogy, but out of all the Clint westerns, High Plains Drifter, and Outlaw Josey Wales are my 2 favourite.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Unforgiven are popular must-watch Eastwood westerns. You’ll also get plenty of recommendations for Outlaw Josey Wales. But if you’re interested in a deeper dive check out High Plains Drifter, Hang ‘Em High, and Pale Rider.
hAHAHA! 'I could just be the sheriff from Liberty Valance because he just ate all the time.' Oh, that was too cute. I need to go watch your reaction to that classic film.
This is my favorite film of the trilogy. It was the tune played by the watches that grabbed me and pulled me in. Great reaction, Dawn!! You're hitting on all cylinders!!!
The funny thing is - it wasn't actually played by the watches. It was way too long for that. For an old mechanical pinned-barrel-driven musical watch, the length you can play is rather limited.
It's kind of draw between this one and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. But I definitly think this one is better than For a Handful of Dollars. Love the interplay of Clint and Lee van Cleef.
I think Sergio Leone intended for Good the bad and ugly to be the prequel to For a few dollars more and for a For a few dollars more to be a prequel to Fistful of dollars..Even though it is unofficial.
The colonel in this movie is Lee Van Cleef. Decorated WW2 veteran. He plays a completely different role in "The Good, The Bad" and the Ugly." That is easily the most famous of the trilogy but I like "For a Few Dollars More" better. BTW, My favorite John Wayne western is "The Searchers" - I hope you'll consider watching it on your western journey!
The movies in this series share some of the actors but are not really connected. Friends in one movie can be enemies in the next. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is my favorite. Another one you need to check out is High Plains Drifter.
Thank you for your reaction, i saw this film at the theater in 1966, took awhile for movies to reach rural theaters at the time! Very cool that anyone is interested in the classics !
About the *Dollars Trilogy films.* None of the films are connected. They're all separate films. Two other films with Clint Eastwood who plays the character *The Man With No Name* are also separate films. Those films are ........ 1) *High Plains Drifter* from 1973. 2) *Pale Rider* from 1986.
You couldn't be a cowboy, but you can be a cowgirl. You should watch the western Hannie Caulder starring Raquel Welch. Now, there's a bad ass cowgirl. If you love Clint's movies, you'll like Hannie Caulder. Thanks for the reaction.
Eastwood has said that he wore the same single poncho through all three films and it's known that he still owns it to this day. He's stated in an interview that he keeps it "in a glass case" & it's never been washed ... The original poncho was taken out of its display case and worn once again by Clint Eastwood at the Carmel Centennial Parade in 2016. He served as Mayor of Carmel years ago and is an unofficial mascot ... The third movie in the trilogy is actually the first ! because it shows Eastwood finding the poncho & how he came to be wearing his hat ! ... great reaction Dawn
15:50 I've read in several Lee Van Cleef bios that he cut off the distal phalanx of his finger while building a doll house for his daughter, but I've also read different stories in RUclips comments. Whatever the cause, Van Cleef's title character in his two "Sabata" movies is known for having nine fingers and using a four barreled derringer. In the movie lore, Sabata cut off the tip off his own finger while he was in the army so he would be sent home to recuperate where he had an affair with the wife of his douchebag commanding officer. "Nine fingered man" and "four barreled derringer" are even lyrics in Sabata's theme song.
Oh Dawn, it was a pleasure spending my Sunday with you. Super happy you enjoyed For A Few Dollars More. You mentioned Clint's poncho. An interesting fact, from the time he picked it up in Hollywood, he has never washed it. Another interesting tidbit, Clint's co star,, Lee Van Cleef's coat was actually called an Inverness, named after a port in "Scotland." It was at one point a very popular coat in the British Isles. Looking forward to your last Leone film, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." A near perfect trilogy western series.
These movies single handedly made ponchos popular in the late 60's. The belt across the shoulders is called a bandolier belt and has it's origins in the medieval age. Also, in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly they use some of the same actors but they are playing different characters.
Another great reaction, Dawn. These are great films and there's a reason that they're considered classics, I'm looking forward to watching your reaction to 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.
There was another series of Spaghetti Western films that my brother introduced me to growing up, although they were also comedies. The ones I can remember for certain are "They Call Me Trinity" and "Trinity Is Still My Name", but he insisted there was a third one... maybe "Revenge of Trinity"? I'm not sure of the third title, but I really enjoyed the first two. These films were written and directed by Enzo Barboni (under the pseudonym E.B. Clutcher) and starred Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. Hill and Spencer had been a popular comic duo since the release of "God Forgives... I Don't!" in October of 1967.
There is no third Trinity movie, though Barboni did make one more western with Terence Hill (sans Bud Spencer) called Man of the East, in which Hill plays a naive and eccentric Londoner coming to America after his outlaw father passed away. There were other Trinity movies, though, but they were of the Django variety where none had anything to do with the originals other than to exploit a popular name.
A little trivia on the poncho. Clint still has the poncho in his collection and it has never been laundered! He insisted it never be cleaned between movies.
Probably my favourite film of all time. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is certainly the most epic, and funny, of the three films, but for me personally, I like this one the best. Clint and Lee were so such a great pairing. It has so much soul, especially with Lee Van Cleef's thread. It does get quite emotional at the end when you discover Mortimer's motive, him getting his revenge, giving 'Manco' his half of the bounty, and then riding off into a glorious sunset.. all backed up by Morricone's sublime "Addio Colonnello". Then you have the truly wicked Indio, the incredibly cool Manco, the stunning and stylish direction, music, sets/costumes and locations. The film reminds me very much of anime at times with its extreme close-ups, each character having their own themes and sounds, and then there's the two scenes: when Mortimer and Manco stare at Indio's wanted poster, the camera flicking between them, and the bullet sounds ringing off. And the classic shooting at each others hats (Manco's aim wasn't bad, his gun didn't have the same accuracy at range). It's crazy to think that Lee Van Cleef was barely 40 years of age when he made this film, such was the maturity he lent to the role and the effective make up. He was only 5 years older than Clint.
This is my favourite western. Other great westerns, unforgiven, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, True grit (1969), Big jake. I think you worked this out, the trilogy is with the same actors but not the same characters. The spaghetti western came about because of the rules that hollywood imposed on the film makers, the spaghetti westerns where filmed in europe so the film makers didnt have to follow the rules and where very popular internationally. The Dollar Trilogy where not the first spaghetti westerns but very much popularised the genre.
There's a very good western with a woman (Sharon Stone) as it's lead character from 1995 - *The Quick & The Dead.* Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe & Leonardo DiCaprio are also in the movie. It's very well done.
Thank you so much for another best-ever reaction! As others already commented way back when you first posted, these movies are not related to each other, just the same actors. they often call them “The Man With No Name Trilogy”, but a) Clint’s character has a different name in each movie, and b) they are completely different stories with totally different characters. This one is my personal favorite of the three of them. Most people prefer THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. And I do like that one, but this one is my favorite. I like this musical score best, the almost mentor-like relationship between Clint’s character , Monco (as almost the nephew or student) and Lee Van Cleef’s character Col Mortimer as mentor or uncle.
Iconic Clint: The cartoon-fronted rock band Gorillaz called their debut song "Clint Eastwood" (featuring some spaghetti western-style noises), and followed it up with "Dirty Harry" named for his ruthless cop movies. Clint Eastwood was named one of the 500 greatest songs of all time by NME, while Dirty Harry was nominated for a Grammy. Certainly doesn't hurt to tap into legend.
This is a great reaction Dawn Marie. It's almost as if you are taking part in the movie. This is one of the best movies of all time - I love the ending.
When I saw this movie as kid, I liked Lee Van Cleef's revolver carbine rig so much that I made a shoulder stock for my cap pistol out of cardboard and scotch tape. It fell apart after playing with it just a couple of times. Should have used duct tape, but I was just a stupid little kid and didn't know any better.
The reason he told the towns people they needed a new sheriff, was because the sheriff knew a wanted outlaw was in his town, but was too corrupt to arrest him. That's what he meant when he said that the lawman must be "honest." Obviously, the sheriff was bribed, which was why the outlaw must having a good time, drinking and playing poker at the saloon.
He beat that card player up with his left hand so he wouldn't hurt his right hand - his shooting hand. Also note, this scene was the inspiration for the opening scene of The Mandalorian :)
Your silent black and white commentary on City Lights was brilliant. I'm a fan of Charlie Chaplin and The Marx Brothers as well as Buster Keaton and Laurel and Hardy who's best movie in my opinion was Way Out West.
As I mentioned before, the perfect movie to follow the Dollar Trilogy would be "Kelly's Heroes" (1970). Once you get to the finale showdown you'll know why. Everyone knows not to mess with Cowgirl Dawn Marie, especially when she's experiencing "that time of month." 😉🥰
My girlfriend and I just had brunch today at Clint Eastwoods restaurant "Mission Ranch" here in Carmel, California. We were hoping he'd drop by, which he often does. Beautiful place. Keep reacting to his films. Lots of great ones to see!
I enjoyed watching this one with you and the reactions were excellent. Thanks. One of the most entertaining and halarious westerns is 'They call me Trinity', also has a few sequels that are just as funny.
It's more of a thematic trilogy instead of one story carrying over to the next, your eyes didn't deceive you, Sergio Leone, the director used many of the same actors in these two movies. Originally he wanted Gian Maria Volonté, who played Ramon in a fistful of dollars and El Indio in this to be Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and The ugly, but went with Eli Wallach instead because he had a natural sort of comedy side to him. I often suspected he wanted Gian Maria Volonté to be Tuco but never knew why he wasn't until I looked it up, not that I'm complaining because Eli Wallach is awesome in the role of The Ugly. Also, I'm a new subscriber and I absolutely adore your Scottish accent.
The set of this film is still there. It's near Tabernas in Andalucia. It's now called Mini Hollywood and I've been in the, still alcohol- selling saloon where Lee Van Cleef lit the match on the hunchbacks back (Klaus Kinski).
I was amused when you said you wanted to get a poncho like Clint's. Many, many years ago a woman wore a poncho to our office. A friend of mine, who had grown up in Thailand, told her she looked like Clint Eastwood.
There are also long out of print novels about TMwNN that delve more into his past. He started out as a ranch hand, and ended up gunning down an outlaw and collecting the reward... which was substantially more than he ever made as a laborer, so he left that behind to become a bounty hunter.
You're right, the same actor who played Ramon was in this one. His name is Gian Maria Volonte. The Man with no Name trilogy used a few of the same actors for different roles.
What's interesting about the trilogy is this. They were filmed in reverse. The timeline is this. Good bad ugly 1st. For a few dollars more & a fistfull of dollars. And then later the unforgiven. The man with no name later in life
The good the bad and the ugly is brilliant but Once upon a time in the west is Sergio Leone's masterpiece, the pacing the lighting the music by Ennio Morricon and the story are epic and once again the back story is drip fed throughout.
Lee Van Cleef was a great addition w/ Clint Eastwood. There were seven from from A Fistful of Dollars used here, they are part of the stock players of Sergio Leone..
Yes, it's the same actor as Ramon in the first film, and the actor playing the Colonel returns in the third film as a different character. And "the man with no name" has a different name in each film. Best not to worry!
You aren't wrong Dawn. Sergio Leone had a kind of a troop of actors who he used in a lot of his movies. Some of these guys were in the other one. Everyone plays different characters in this one though. Except maybe Clint???? For some more good westerns try Clint in Unforgiven, Try John Wayne in The Cowboys, The Shootist, Big Jake and try Silverado with a bunch of different guys. For two great (GREAT) movie non-westerns with great casts and stories give The Sting and The Great Escape a try. You will love them!! Seriously. Trust me. Have I ever lied to you???
When Clint Eastwood says the town needs a new sheriff, he means that the sheriff was a rat. If you noticed after Clint asked where Cavanaugh was, the sheriff (guy that lit Clint's cigar with his) went and got Cavanaugh's three friends from the barber shop and motioned to them there was trouble.

Drove the actors nuts too, everyone speaking different languages in the same scenes.
Not only that. It's not even really the same guy just the same actor. The only real relation is the fact they are Italian westerns. Heck. Lee Van Clef is in 2 of the movies playing very different characters.
Nobody cares, there just bloody good films
You are wrong they are in the same universe even though they use the same actors for different roles.
The actor Gian Maria volonte who played the main bad guy in the first one came back and played the main bad guy in this one but obviously a different character it can be confusing if you're watching these for the first time😂
If you love these movies, you’ll love the westerns Eastwood directed himself, especially “High Plains Drifter” and “The Outlaw Josey Wales”
High Plains Drifter & Pale Rider have some similar themes. Those who know, know. 😏
I second High Plains Drifter. Yes, Pale Rider was similar but not up to Drifter.
The Outlaw Josey Wales is his best western

15:50 I've read in several Lee Van Cleef bios that he cut off the distal phalanx of his finger while building a doll house for his daughter, but I've also read different stories in RUclips comments. Whatever the cause, Van Cleef's title character in his two "Sabata" movies is known for having nine fingers and using a four barreled derringer. In the movie lore, Sabata cut off the tip off his own finger while he was in the army so he would be sent home to recuperate where he had an affair with the wife of his douchebag commanding officer. "Nine fingered man" and "four barreled derringer" are even lyrics in Sabata's theme song.
manco is spanish for one-armed. MWNN keeps his right hand on his gun during the fight in the bar. Literally fights one-handed
Oh Dawn, it was a pleasure spending my Sunday with you. Super happy you enjoyed For A Few Dollars More. You mentioned Clint's poncho. An interesting fact, from the time he picked it up in Hollywood, he has never washed it. Another interesting tidbit, Clint's co star,, Lee Van Cleef's coat was actually called an Inverness, named after a port in "Scotland." It was at one point a very popular coat in the British Isles. Looking forward to your last Leone film, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." A near perfect trilogy western series.
These movies single handedly made ponchos popular in the late 60's. The belt across the shoulders is called a bandolier belt and has it's origins in the medieval age.
Also, in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly they use some of the same actors but they are playing different characters.
Don't feel bad if any one gives you grief for your confusion. We've all seen this many times and some have forgotten the first time they saw it.
Another great reaction, Dawn. These are great films and there's a reason that they're considered classics, I'm looking forward to watching your reaction to 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.
These are like.my favorite movies that I grew up with. I enjoy your reactions to these movies because you bring a fresh mind to them.
El Indio is portrayed by Gian Maria Volonte, who also played Ramón Rojo in A Fistful of Dollars. A lot of the same actors across the films.
There was another series of Spaghetti Western films that my brother introduced me to growing up, although they were also comedies. The ones I can remember for certain are "They Call Me Trinity" and "Trinity Is Still My Name", but he insisted there was a third one... maybe "Revenge of Trinity"? I'm not sure of the third title, but I really enjoyed the first two. These films were written and directed by Enzo Barboni (under the pseudonym E.B. Clutcher) and starred Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. Hill and Spencer had been a popular comic duo since the release of "God Forgives... I Don't!" in October of 1967.
There is no third Trinity movie, though Barboni did make one more western with Terence Hill (sans Bud Spencer) called Man of the East, in which Hill plays a naive and eccentric Londoner coming to America after his outlaw father passed away. There were other Trinity movies, though, but they were of the Django variety where none had anything to do with the originals other than to exploit a popular name.
A little trivia on the poncho. Clint still has the poncho in his collection and it has never been laundered! He insisted it never be cleaned between movies.
Probably my favourite film of all time. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is certainly the most epic, and funny, of the three films, but for me personally, I like this one the best. Clint and Lee were so such a great pairing. It has so much soul, especially with Lee Van Cleef's thread. It does get quite emotional at the end when you discover Mortimer's motive, him getting his revenge, giving 'Manco' his half of the bounty, and then riding off into a glorious sunset.. all backed up by Morricone's sublime "Addio Colonnello".
Then you have the truly wicked Indio, the incredibly cool Manco, the stunning and stylish direction, music, sets/costumes and locations. The film reminds me very much of anime at times with its extreme close-ups, each character having their own themes and sounds, and then there's the two scenes: when Mortimer and Manco stare at Indio's wanted poster, the camera flicking between them, and the bullet sounds ringing off. And the classic shooting at each others hats (Manco's aim wasn't bad, his gun didn't have the same accuracy at range).
It's crazy to think that Lee Van Cleef was barely 40 years of age when he made this film, such was the maturity he lent to the role and the effective make up. He was only 5 years older than Clint.
Clint is crazy epic in the classic, High plains Drifter. Not too be missed Dawn.
This is my favourite western. Other great westerns, unforgiven, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, True grit (1969), Big jake.
I think you worked this out, the trilogy is with the same actors but not the same characters.
The spaghetti western came about because of the rules that hollywood imposed on the film makers, the spaghetti westerns where filmed in europe so the film makers didnt have to follow the rules and where very popular internationally. The Dollar Trilogy where not the first spaghetti westerns but very much popularised the genre.
Big Jake really doesn't get enough hype. I'm glad you suggested it.
There's a very good western with a woman (Sharon Stone) as it's lead character from 1995 - *The Quick & The Dead.* Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe & Leonardo DiCaprio are also in the movie. It's very well done.
Thank you so much for another best-ever reaction! As others already commented way back when you first posted, these movies are not related to each other, just the same actors. they often call them “The Man With No Name Trilogy”, but a) Clint’s character has a different name in each movie, and b) they are completely different stories with totally different characters.
This one is my personal favorite of the three of them. Most people prefer THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. And I do like that one, but this one is my favorite. I like this musical score best, the almost mentor-like relationship between Clint’s character , Monco (as almost the nephew or student) and Lee Van Cleef’s character Col Mortimer as mentor or uncle.
Iconic Clint: The cartoon-fronted rock band Gorillaz called their debut song "Clint Eastwood" (featuring some spaghetti western-style noises), and followed it up with "Dirty Harry" named for his ruthless cop movies.
Clint Eastwood was named one of the 500 greatest songs of all time by NME, while Dirty Harry was nominated for a Grammy. Certainly doesn't hurt to tap into legend.
I so enjoy "our time together". You make me smile from start to finish!
18:04 The lights they use filming were VERY bright and VERT hot, that's why everyone's so sweaty in these movies
Amazon sells the poncho and hat. 😋
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly next is probably the best western ever made.
Not Westerns, but Clint is amazing in Dirty Harry and Every Which But Lose is a lot of fun.
Absolutely; I prefer the Dirty Harry films over most of Clint's westerns. Still the single strong loner against an unjust collective
Also Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
@@Mclint9171 Quite an underrated movie. Very good cast. Also the Eiger Sanction.
This is a great reaction Dawn Marie. It's almost as if you are taking part in the movie. This is one of the best movies of all time - I love the ending.
When I saw this movie as kid, I liked Lee Van Cleef's revolver carbine rig so much that I made a shoulder stock for my cap pistol out of cardboard and scotch tape. It fell apart after playing with it just a couple of times. Should have used duct tape, but I was just a stupid little kid and didn't know any better.
The reason he told the towns people they needed a new sheriff, was because the sheriff knew a wanted outlaw was in his town, but was too corrupt to arrest him. That's what he meant when he said that the lawman must be "honest." Obviously, the sheriff was bribed, which was why the outlaw must having a good time, drinking and playing poker at the saloon.
He beat that card player up with his left hand so he wouldn't hurt his right hand - his shooting hand.
Also note, this scene was the inspiration for the opening scene of The Mandalorian :)
You're a treasure Dawn, love your reactions!
Your silent black and white commentary on City Lights was brilliant. I'm a fan of Charlie Chaplin and The Marx Brothers as well as Buster Keaton and Laurel and Hardy who's best movie in my opinion was Way Out West.
While it is called The Man With No Name trilogy , Eadtwood's characters do have names in each movie, "Joe", "Manco" and "Blondie".
As I mentioned before, the perfect movie to follow the Dollar Trilogy would be "Kelly's Heroes" (1970). Once you get to the finale showdown you'll know why.
Everyone knows not to mess with Cowgirl Dawn Marie, especially when she's experiencing "that time of month." 😉🥰
The little blonde funny lookin guy was a famous Russian ballet dancer, defected, and really made a name for himself in spaghetti westerns!
If she wants to see the little boy again
Dawn Marie will have to wait for the third movie 😂😂 (when the little boy becomes a teenager)
My girlfriend and I just had brunch today at Clint Eastwoods restaurant "Mission Ranch" here in Carmel, California. We were hoping he'd drop by, which he often does. Beautiful place. Keep reacting to his films. Lots of great ones to see!
I enjoyed watching this one with you and the reactions were excellent. Thanks. One of the most entertaining and halarious westerns is 'They call me Trinity', also has a few sequels that are just as funny.
It's more of a thematic trilogy instead of one story carrying over to the next, your eyes didn't deceive you, Sergio Leone, the director used many of the same actors in these two movies. Originally he wanted Gian Maria Volonté, who played Ramon in a fistful of dollars and El Indio in this to be Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and The ugly, but went with Eli Wallach instead because he had a natural sort of comedy side to him. I often suspected he wanted Gian Maria Volonté to be Tuco but never knew why he wasn't until I looked it up, not that I'm complaining because Eli Wallach is awesome in the role of The Ugly. Also, I'm a new subscriber and I absolutely adore your Scottish accent.
Such a great movie! Scenery, acting attire etc.! I really enjoyed watching this!
The set of this film is still there. It's near Tabernas in Andalucia. It's now called Mini Hollywood and I've been in the, still alcohol- selling saloon where Lee Van Cleef lit the match on the hunchbacks back (Klaus Kinski).
I was amused when you said you wanted to get a poncho like Clint's. Many, many years ago a woman wore a poncho to our office. A friend of mine, who had grown up in Thailand, told her she looked like Clint Eastwood.
There are also long out of print novels about TMwNN that delve more into his past. He started out as a ranch hand, and ended up gunning down an outlaw and collecting the reward... which was substantially more than he ever made as a laborer, so he left that behind to become a bounty hunter.
Never noticed this before but at 3:52 Lee Van Cleef was lucky the train stopped exactly where the wagon with his horse in was next to a ramp.
The budget of Fistful of Dollars was $225,000. The budget of For A Few Dollars More was $600,000. So yeah a lot of actors were reused.
Absolutely love this film. So iconic, and the score is immense.
Love to see Young People watching the Classics. Enjoyed the reactions 👍❤✌️
“He just bitch slapped him”
Funniest comment ever😆😅😂🤣
Nice going Dawn Marie👍🏼
Rio Bravo, another great classic you'll probably enjoy. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
You're right, the same actor who played Ramon was in this one. His name is Gian Maria Volonte. The Man with no Name trilogy used a few of the same actors for different roles.
What's interesting about the trilogy is this. They were filmed in reverse. The timeline is this. Good bad ugly 1st. For a few dollars more & a fistfull of dollars. And then later the unforgiven. The man with no name later in life
The good the bad and the ugly is brilliant but Once upon a time in the west is Sergio Leone's masterpiece, the pacing the lighting the music by Ennio Morricon and the story are epic and once again the back story is drip fed throughout.
I love the opening to that film, but otherwise ... I think it is a lesser movie.
THE TRILOGY- loved these movies since i was a kid in the 70s..
Unforgiven won four Oscar's but I also love The Outlaw Josey Wales. But you really can't go wrong delving into any of Clint's westerns.
Lee Van Cleef was a great addition w/ Clint Eastwood. There were seven from from A Fistful of Dollars used here, they are part of the stock players of Sergio Leone..
I'd seriously consider sending Dawn a spaghetti western box set. I think this is a great genre for her.
You said that Lee Van Cleef couldn't handle being beaten up "because he's old", but he was only 40 years old at the time and Clint Eastwood was 35!
Yes, it's the same actor as Ramon in the first film, and the actor playing the Colonel returns in the third film as a different character. And "the man with no name" has a different name in each film. Best not to worry!
You aren't wrong Dawn. Sergio Leone had a kind of a troop of actors who he used in a lot of his movies. Some of these guys were in the other one. Everyone plays different characters in this one though. Except maybe Clint???? For some more good westerns try Clint in Unforgiven, Try John Wayne in The Cowboys, The Shootist, Big Jake and try Silverado with a bunch of different guys. For two great (GREAT) movie non-westerns with great casts and stories give The Sting and The Great Escape a try. You will love them!! Seriously. Trust me. Have I ever lied to you???
