These three movies weren't released in the U.S. until 1967. Rawhide was canceled in December 1965, and Clint was already well known from that series. The trilogy put him over as a major star.
You're drawing out us gun nuts. The revolvers of those days were single action. That means you have to pull the hammer back before you can squeeze the trigger to fire the gun. So when you see them using the left hand swiping over the top of the gun they are cocking the hammer so they can shoot.
This was an excellent reaction, I really enjoyed it, Jen. These films are classics, and as you noted made all the better by the music. Clint Eastwood was already an up-and-coming star when he made these films, he played a character called 'Rowdy Yates' on the TV series 'Rawhide'. Apart from 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly', you should also watch the Western 'Once Upon a Time in The West' which took some inspiration from these films.
@@t0dd000 I know! And van Cleef! And Morricone! And landscapes in Spain! And all those side characters .... Oh, and we can't forget the unofficial "fourth member" of the trilogy: "Once Upon A Time in the West" Fonda, Bronson, Robards, Cardinale, Morricone. I mean, really, Sergio Leone, he left us an embarrassment of riches. I won't choose, I'll take them all and be grateful.
Van Cleef in Good Bad Ugly is outstanding, and Wallach is phenomenal, and Eastwood is iconic as ever! The plot is picarescue and unmatced, and the Leone's philmography is magical! Final, the last cemetery scene is one of the greatest piece of art of the 20th Century, and the original score by Morricone is the most reconiziable music score of all time! And the line: "there's two kind of people my friend...", or: "when you get to shoot shoot, don't talk"... And the "Ecstasy of Gold" score, c'mon... One of the greatest movie ever created in every aspect, and the title too is in the common language and covered millions of time in the pop culture!
Once Upon A Time in the West is arguably Leone's best work and best western. No need to hurry into watching it but it is definitely well worth a place on what is undoubtedly your very long list of movies to get to.
It's better for me as well. People don't associate it with Leone because Eastwood's not in it. It has the same great music plus a love interest. Henry Fonda is a terrific villain.
Once upon a time in the West and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are both outstanding and defined the Western genre new. Before that, Westerns were almost sterile like stage plays with the main characters looking as if they´d just come out of the laundry. Later the "cheaper" spaghetti westerns carried this change to extremes with movies like Django showing practically everything in a dirty mess.
"Thought I was having trouble with my adding... it's alright now." I may be in the minority, but this is probably my fave of the trilogy. In terms of pacing and story, this works best I think.
He played a ninja Master in 89's tv show called The Master, he was such a great actor despite not being Japanese and advanced in years he pulled it off very well.
If you met that was his final film which was released in 1981 but Van Cleef acted until 1989 and had a movie released in 1990 after his death when died in 1989 at age 64 of a heart attack.
I love Lee Van Cleef. So cool. I love the way he puts the gun back in his holster at the end. Always touching to me for him it wasn't about the money but vengeance for his sister. Also the music in these three movies is a character on its own
His character in 'Face to Face' is even deeper and more fascinating. He's a sickly intellectual who goes to the west for health reasons. He ends up getting entangled with a bandit and trying to turn the bandit's criminal acts toward a more revolutionary and 'noble' cause... only, as the movie progresses, the two principals somewhat switch roles. It's a really damn good Spaghetti Western.
GM Volonto was paced down many times on the Set from Sergio Leone, he was to intense in his acting. And yes i agree "Faccia a Faccia" is also a very good Western. But the Premisse there is political. I always use to recommend the "3 Sergios" to get a feeling and understanding of real "Italian Westernmaking" Sergio Leone, Sergio Sollima and Sergio Corbucci. Each an everyone unique but timeless... Investigate, explore, watch and enjoy 😊😊
Lee Van Cleef’s acting at the end of the film is fantastic. Seeing him about to break during the duel is à beautiful moment. Like he’s about to just give in to his grief and let Indio kill him until Eastwood shows up with his pocket watch.
Lee Van Cleef was about to bail on acting when Sergio Leone came calling. "Colonel Douglas Mortimer" was the first step in Lee Van Cleef's rise to international movie stardom. "Sixty Seconds to What?," the tune played by the White Rocks piano player and the pocket watch chimes is another Ennio Morricone masterpiece.
This is a fantastic movie and a fan favourite for being the best one in the trilogy but “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” just takes it to a whole other level and I can’t wait for your reaction to it.
For "Classic Westerns" I'm going to suggest another trilogy. Director John Ford has three movies that are referred to as the "Cavalry Trilogy." The movies are "Fort Apache," "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," and "Rio Grande." Great action. Great casts, including some guy named John Wayne. Well worth the viewing.
These first two movies introduced Clint Eastwood as the lead character, but it was "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" that kind of cemented him as a western star. Don't stop with just this trilogy though. "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is maybe my favorite western of his, but personally, I have enjoyed all of Clint's movies and I hope you get into the "Dirty Harry" movies also. I'm sure you would enjoy them.
Yes, in the US. But in Europe even the first of the trilogy was a hugh success. In the US the first two films were only shown after the good, the bad and the ugly was filmed. Therefore Clint couldn't become a star there after the first two...
I think with the westerns in particular we can't because of the demarkation that was made even at the time. You had the Spaghettis, the 'neo-westerns' that were being made in the US as a kind of response to the increasing violence and populatrity of Italian westerns (The Wild Bunch would be a good example here, or Heston's 'The Last Hard Men') and then you had the American westerns that were still trying to be very much in that classic vein (nearly anything from Audie Murphy with maybe the exception of 'The Texican'), so it isn't so much the term 'classic' as we apply it to other genres but rather a sub-genre all it's own. I'd say the biggest tell for a Classic western, is the morality of the protagonist isn't ever ambiguous, the good guy will end up doing the right thing because it is the right thing, not from selfish or dishonorable motives. Spaghettis and neo-westerns delighted in having more morally gray and complex characters... which is their strongest asset in my opinion. Hell, contrast Paladin with Harmonica and I think that's a good example of what I'm talking about.
Classic westerns aren't called "classic" because they are old or something like that. They're classics because they're canonical, meaning there was a way, a formula of doing them. During the 50s (with precedents though, like Stagecoach) westerns started to be done differently, defying the "formula", and then in the 60s westerns were just subversing classic westerns, so they were called anti-westerns or revisionist westerns. Spaguetti westerns were made in that 60s context although they have a slightly different feeling than the american westerns of that time. So, this is why they shouldn't be called "classic"
@@Carandini I disagree in that spaghetti's and neo-westerns portrait more complex characters. Howard Hawks, of course John Ford, Anthonny Mann and others made westerns based on even more complex characters before. In fact, I'd say that usually Spaghetti westerns have quite plain characters many times. I remind you, for example, John Wayne's character in The Searchers, best example of an ambiguous main character. Probably the most despicable I ever seen in a western, classic or not. The pretension, I think, was subverting the old westerns tropes, changing aesthetics, making them more violently graphic and so on. Notice for instance, how romance is usually out of these new westerns formula.
That sounds like your opinion of "classic". Mine is any western that stands the test of time. Any film, for that matter. But thanks for your condescending lesson.
@@CarolinaCharles777 Thanks for your neanderthal reply, I suppose. Not my opinion on 'classic' either (because I sure as hell think this stands the test of time far better than much-acclaimed dreck like 'My Darling Clementine') but trying to clue you in that AS FAR AS FILM CRITICS are concerned, the 'classic' western is a very specific style and type of story-telling, just as every mystery isn't instantly a film-noire. Anyway, enjoy your ignorance.
Hi Jen. Love your reactions and I'm glad you liked both Dollars movies. I can't wait to see your reaction to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Not just a great western but a truly great film from any genre. The 3 main protagonists, Clint, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef are fantastic in this and the stand off at the end is just absolutely brilliant and the Ennio Morricone score that accompanies it couldn't be any more perfect and still gives me goosebumps even though I've seen it countless times. Definitely in my all time top 5 favourite films. I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan.
The Good, Bad, & Ugly is generally regarded as the best of the three. Since it was the last of the three, I think it made the most money. It is my personal vote for BEST! But, I think The Unforgiven is Clint's best Western. Great job, Jen! 😊❤😊❤
To really understand Unforgiven you have to see at least a couple of the Dollars trilogy to really get the flavour of Clint's portrayal of William Munny and what he was doing with the character. I think of it like the ending to the Dollars movies. Like them, not directly connected, but it seems like Clint is playing the same guy in all of them and Unforgiven feels like the finale.
That was a detachable stock that Mortimer used to shoot the outlaw in the beginning of the film. Yes, Clint was fanning his revolver. It’s a single action and the hammer has to be cocked for each shot. Did you notice that one of the gang is Klaus Kinski, Nastasia Kinski’s father?
13:20 - That's a "jew's harp" (name of unknown origin but nothing to do with Judaism, possibly from French "jeu" or play). Loving your stuff, Jen! I hope you get to watching one of my favourite little comedies, "Three Amigos!" (1986) sometime. It's what I like to call a "mini masterpiece" and the production had a lot of ties with The Simpsons. You'd be my perfect movie watching buddy I think, we are oddly alike in many ways! Peace and best wishes from the UK ☺
In my opinion, the best in the "Dollars" Trilogy. It's just perfect and hits all the right notes. The Italians were showing Hollywood how to do the Western right! So many iconic names here. 🤠
There's a saying about the difference between classic westerns and spaghetti westerns. In classic westerns the hero is the best shot, in spaghetti westerns the best shot is the hero.
The outside shots were filmed in Spain while most of the interior shots were filmed in Italy. The studio town in Spain where this was filmed is now a tourist attraction called 'Mini Hollywood'.
My fav of the 3 movies....once you're done with these you should watch "High Plains Drifter" and "Outlaw Josie Wales"....and then of course "Unforgiven"...all classics .. Unforgiven won best picture of the year..
Mark 4:54 Shooting the horse, dog, or other innocent animal was one way that older Western movies identified the villains and villainesses. Now, somehow, people want subtlety or something odd. 🙄
The duel in the ruined mission church is one my favorites in all of film. The cinematography and music dovetail so perfectly and Indio embodies the heartless villain to the hilt. "And now I'm sure you hate me just enough." Is one of coldest lines ever... I think the instrument you wonder about is a jew, or jaw, harp.
The gun fight in the church has got to be one of the top 10 best scenes in Western films. I don’t see how it can’t be, everything about it is well done
I always liked an interview with one of Sergio Leone’s co-writers. He said when Leone hired him, he handed him his draft of the script, which was all the scene directions and descriptions of the action, and huge blank spaces where the dialogue was supposed to go, and he just told the co-writer “fill that part in.” His collaborators said he had a gift for knowing the entire layout of what every scene was going to be and what it was going to look like, but he just couldn’t crack writing dialogue.
I believe the boingy instrument you were wondering about is a Jaw Harp. It is a piece of metal shaped like C= with a piece of spring steel extending from the middle of the C between the legs. One places the legs on ones lips and strums the spring steel which resonates in the mouth. I think, I've never been able to get one to work.
I also suggested PAINT YOUR WAGON, in past comments. Jen, it's probably the ONLY time you get to see Clint Eastwood sing a love song. Excellent film Excellent recommendation, I second this suggestion 😊
Many Italian directors of this period saved time and money by not recording sound during filming. That's why all of the dialogue is dubbed and all of the sound effects are added in post, which is why watching their films feels so different than American movies where sound is recorded during filming.
Almost at 50K subscribers. Congratulations! That’s quite a milestone for you. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is considered the best of the three. You gotta do it. It has the biggest budget and the most famous music. It really put Clint Eastwood on the map and made him a star, I think.
Oh! I forgot last time, but it still applies this time. Ahem. I watched "Man With No Name" recently thanks to "Tubi". We made the switch from "AT&T" to "T-Mobile" and Dad and I got new smartphones. Then I lost my new smartphone and now I have a newer one that is supposedly the same model as the one I lost. Here's the strange part, to me anyway. Your equipment must be better! I'm indirectly viewing the movie via your set-up, and it looks better to me than it did when I viewed the movie indirectly! 🤔 How does that happen? 🤔
"For a Few Dollars More" is the favorite film of the trilogy for many fans. You pick up on a lot of points very well for a first-time viewer. El Indio is one of the screen's most-ruthless villains. He is uber-scary! Morricone is at the top of his game with the music for the getaway of the El Paso bank robbery. It gives me chills.
32:45 Regarding your question of whether it was a thing in westerns that the good guys win, in the comedy "They Might be Giants," George C. Scott is watching a classic western with his therapist Joanne Woodward in a theater that shows old movies, and he explains that he likes westerns because "If you look closely, you can see principles up there. You can see the possibility of justice in proportion. There were no masses in Dodge City. Only individuals whose will for good or evil can bring them to the ends they ought to have. I like that very much."
Hi Jen, great to see you enjoying this trilogy, looking forward to the next one. Clint had been a regular character on a western Tv show prior to these films, but these launched his film career. :)
Sergio Leone once said that the main bad character had the symptoms of syphilis. Might explain the strange music theme he has. And his behavior. Like to see your reaction to the good the bad and the ugly. That one is really epic
As an oldie who saw it when it was first released, I think this is the best the best of the trilogy. It's pace was a reflection of the time before cellphones when life was a less stressful place.
It gets better with every movie, because more and more characters were included. As already mentioned here, part 3 tops all. Amazing reaction as always Jen :D
Like I was telling you on the Snake Plisken video Lee Van Cleef. Interesting backstory. He was an accountant and just picked up one day and decided to become an actor.
The Franklin Mountains rise high above El Paso. On either side of the Franklin Mountains are large desert basins. To the west is the Mesilla Basin or Mesilla Bolson. "Bolson" is Spanish for "purse." To the east of the Franklins is the Hueco Basin or Hueco Bolson.
Hard to say which is my favorite of the trilogy, it's definitely between the second and third. Clint and Lee Van Cleef teaming up is awesome, but the Good the Bad & the Ugly has some amazing moments, like the Ecstasy of Gold. I'm super excited to see Jen's reaction to that
Yes, I guess I'm interested in Jen's reaction. One of my dad's favorites that he too me to see when I was a kid. Wasn't a big fan, more of a John Wayne man! However your patreons should have clued you into Clint and Shirley MacLane in "Two Mules for Sister Sara", very excellent western!
After the terrific dollar-trilogy came my personal favorite western since the dawn of cinema, Once Upon a Time in the West. Henry Fonda playing against type made for one of the best villains in film.
I'm calling it. Jen needs to play RedDead Redemption2 for us, and post her playthrough here on RUclips. She loves westerns, she loves emotional music, it's the best story since forever... Jen was made to do this!
Guess everyone is now also waiting for the reaction to the 3rd movie of the "trilogy". 😀 Actually, then you'll be halfway through the Leone movies! So why not just complete the list with his next and final 3: "Once upon a time in the West", then "Duck you s*cker" (aka "A fistful of dynamite" aka "Once upon a time the Revolution"), and finally "Once upon a time in America". You won't regret it. Always with music by Morricone. These are even more epic, and even more beautiful musc.
Personally I feel like My Name Is Nobody is the epilogue to the western movies Leone did (he didn't direct it, but he was one of the main writers, if not _the_ main writer) - a light-hearted comedy that's also a farewell to the genre.
Eastwood was already big by the time I was born, but I think "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" ('66) was his most commonly referenced movie when I was a kid. There are DOZENS to choose from. "The Outlaw Josie Wales" ('76) and "Pale Rider" ('85) were both pretty popular when I was growing up... and then there are his non-westerns, like "Dirty Harry" ('71) and "Escape From Alcatraz" ('79). He's kept busy the last sixty-or-so years.
The instrument you are asking about, used to signify Lee Van Cleef’s character, Colonel Mortimer, is called a Jew’s Harp (sometimes referred to as a Jaw’s Harp). Clint’s instrumental cue is the flute. Great soundtrack in this one. Btw, Mortimer uses a detachable shoulder stock, turning his long barreled revolver into a carbine, giving it much better accuracy at longer range.
The third one was the one that made Clint a star. It definitely is the most famous. I remember listening to the theme song when I was a kid. The theme music from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" has become far more iconic and famous than the movie itself. You can find videos of people playing it with all kinds of instruments over the decades. To me, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" has the most compelling story of the three. Eli Wallach, who was a fantastic American actor, was great as Tuco. I don't want to spoil anything about the plot but it is to most people I think far more memorable than those of the first two. The last act, featuring Clint, Eli, and Lee Van Cleef (Col. Mortimer in this movie) is classic.
He would have been well known already. Apparently Clint was under TV contract for 10 years and couldn't film in the US, which is why he went overseas for movies.
He was known for TV but outside of Rawhide most of his shows were just one episode here and there. He had also done some movies, but most were small parts. The spaghetti westerns were his first starring roles and that third one cemented him as a movie star. After that he never did TV again.
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is definitely a must watch, but be prepared for a long movie. All these spaghetti westerns are so much better due to the music. I upvoted the current video because I want you to continue.
In the film there's a newspaper with the headline "The Morton Brothers Killed by Bounty Killer". Morton Brothers being the guys Clint's character gunned early into Fistful of Dollars. The photo shows Clint's character standing over their bodies. So even if we were to assume they're not the same character, they exist in the same world.
FYI: Stocked pistols (revolvers) are held as shown in the movie because hot gas escapes from the small gap between the cylinder and barrel, so placing both hands back at the grip keeps them out of harms way.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is next. Probably the most famous one. But For a Few Dollars More is my favorite. But I feel like there's one more after the next one called Hang 'Em High. You should definitely watch that one, too. I believe that would conclude the spaghetti westerns. -OG
On RUclips, look up The Danish National Symphony Orchestra- The Good the Bad and the Ugly. It’s perfect! Their version has well over 100 million views and is well worth your time.
Yes, the good guys always won until 1968. Most westerns were made before 1968 before the end of the Hollywood Decency Code enforced by the Motion Picture Production Code (Hays Code). One of the parts added into the code was that "virtue must be triumphant".
The member of Indio's gang with the hunchback is a very famous actor (many would say infamous). Klaus Kinski was most renowned for his work with director Werner Herzog. They had a fascinating relationship, which, in fact, Herzog made a documentary about. You might want to look into Herzog's oeuvre, though it hardly makes up the type of films one ever sees on reactor channels
Just an FYI - the "Hunchback" character is played by Klaus Kinski, an actor with a rather volatile temper, who became famous in films by German director Werner Herzog. (They clashed often, sometimes getting into physical fights.) Kinski is also the father of Nastassja Kinski, a well known actress in her own right.
HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER is one of the best of Clint's westerns. Not a spaghetti western, but it has many of the same ingredients Clint used to produce it (under Malpaso). Another is PALE RIDER (produced under his own name, and also directed it). For Spaghetti westerns, I always liked Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST(Paramount, '69) best of all.
You can absolutely believe the Eastwood character is the same character in your headcanon. Joe (Dollars), Monco (Dollars More) and Blondie (Good, Bad & Ugly) are played almost the same by Clint, especially Monco and Blondie. I really hope you get to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly but it has a much longer runtime and is widely considered a western epic.
2.1K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️ Notes: Ahem. Hmm. 🤔 Okay, I see you have seen the Kurt Russell version of "Tombstone" and I hope that you will see Kevin Costner in 1994's "Wyatt Earp"! I noticed that you have "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" as a set! "Tombstone" & "Wyatt Earp" should be a set too! I see that you've seen the latest version of a "Django" movie and the trilogy, "Back to the Future"! So now you are ready for the 2014 shared universe movie "A Million Ways to Die in the West"! In "Pale Rider" a girl's dog is shot and killed and as she prays at his grave, she prays for the titular character, played by Clint Eastwood!
Clint Eastwood was already well known by the time he made _A Fistful of Dollars_ as he was the lead character in the popular TV Western, _Rawhide_ (1959-1965). Lee Van Cleef's first film role was as a henchman in the classic Western _High Noon_ (1952). _High Noon_ should absolutely be on your list of classic Westerns. It is #2 on AFI's Top Ten Westerns list (The Searchers is #1).
Technically he was the second main character than the lead but I see your point.their was a famous gunslinger back in 1885 named Clint Eastwood that beat up Buford tannen and helped him get arrested but sadly he died the same day in a train crash.
You'll love "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," Jen. It's one of the greatest movies ever made. After that one, most people watch Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West." It's also very great.

You're drawing out us gun nuts. The revolvers of those days were single action. That means you have to pull the hammer back before you can squeeze the trigger to fire the gun. So when you see them using the left hand swiping over the top of the gun they are cocking the hammer so they can shoot.
Really happy to see almost at 50k Jen! Actually your numbers should 10x higher! Congrats and continued success! Always here...Eric 😊
@@e.d.2096Great to see you here, Eric. 🙂
I can't hang around long tonight as I have to be up at 5.30, and it's almost 00.30 already.
This was an excellent reaction, I really enjoyed it, Jen. These films are classics, and as you noted made all the better by the music.
Clint Eastwood was already an up-and-coming star when he made these films, he played a character called 'Rowdy Yates' on the TV series 'Rawhide'. Apart from 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly', you should also watch the Western 'Once Upon a Time in The West' which took some inspiration from these films.
This is honestly my favorite of the "trilogy", even if it's less epic than The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
I can't decide, so I just love them both.
That's a tough call. The third film has Eli Walloch. Such a great character.
@@t0dd000 I know! And van Cleef! And Morricone! And landscapes in Spain! And all those side characters .... Oh, and we can't forget the unofficial "fourth member" of the trilogy: "Once Upon A Time in the West" Fonda, Bronson, Robards, Cardinale, Morricone. I mean, really, Sergio Leone, he left us an embarrassment of riches. I won't choose, I'll take them all and be grateful.
Van Cleef in Good Bad Ugly is outstanding, and Wallach is phenomenal, and Eastwood is iconic as ever! The plot is picarescue and unmatced, and the Leone's philmography is magical!
Final, the last cemetery scene is one of the greatest piece of art of the 20th Century, and the original score by Morricone is the most reconiziable music score of all time!
And the line: "there's two kind of people my friend...", or: "when you get to shoot shoot, don't talk"...
And the "Ecstasy of Gold" score, c'mon...
One of the greatest movie ever created in every aspect, and the title too is in the common language and covered millions of time in the pop culture!
My favorite as well. And I love the music, especially in the final standoff!
Once Upon A Time in the West is arguably Leone's best work and best western. No need to hurry into watching it but it is definitely well worth a place on what is undoubtedly your very long list of movies to get to.
It's better for me as well. People don't associate it with Leone because Eastwood's not in it.
It has the same great music plus a love interest.
Henry Fonda is a terrific villain.
yeah She''ll LOVE the score in "Once Upon a TIme in the West"
A great opening, but I put all three of these over that one.
Once upon a time in the West and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are both outstanding and defined the Western genre new.
Before that, Westerns were almost sterile like stage plays with the main characters looking as if they´d just come out of the laundry. Later the "cheaper" spaghetti westerns carried this change to extremes with movies like Django showing practically everything in a dirty mess.
really, I would just suggest watching practically all of Sergio Leone's films. They are all worth it.
"Thought I was having trouble with my adding... it's alright now."
I may be in the minority, but this is probably my fave of the trilogy. In terms of pacing and story, this works best I think.
Lee Van Cleef was also in the last movie, Escape from New York, as the prison warden.
Ya he had a great career of playing badasses both good and bad.
He played a ninja Master in 89's tv show called The Master, he was such a great actor despite not being Japanese and advanced in years he pulled it off very well.
@@l.piloto7964 With Timothy Van Patton. A couple of Dutch ninjas
If you met that was his final film which was released in 1981 but Van Cleef acted until 1989 and had a movie released in 1990 after his death when died in 1989 at age 64 of a heart attack.
I love Lee Van Cleef. So cool. I love the way he puts the gun back in his holster at the end. Always touching to me for him it wasn't about the money but vengeance for his sister. Also the music in these three movies is a character on its own
Idk why good bad and ugly is considered the best ever because to me this one is way way better imo.
This one is my fave of the trilogy. I love the relationship Eastwood and Van Cleef develop as the movie progresses. And the pocket watch music is 👌🏻
Yea I wanted to buy a watch and have that song play on it,that would freaking rule!
I remember the watch music being used in the trailer for "The Dark Tower", which was pretty cool to hear.
"The Good The Bad & The Ugly" is the best of the three in my opinion. Can't wait for your reaction 😎
"The good , the bad and the ugly" is even better, more modern. But "Once upon a time in the west" is THE masterpiece. You will cry Jen.
After this trilogy, try Once Upon a Time in the West, Sergio Leone’s masterpiece.
The exchange between Clint and Van Cleef at the end of this movie is actually my favourite movie ending of all time. "Having trouble, boy?"
"No , old man. Thought I was havin' trouble with my adding. It's all right now."
Gian Maria Volonté as Indio was such good casting, and his acting was amazing. One of the best maniacal villain portrayals in film, IMO.
His character in 'Face to Face' is even deeper and more fascinating. He's a sickly intellectual who goes to the west for health reasons. He ends up getting entangled with a bandit and trying to turn the bandit's criminal acts toward a more revolutionary and 'noble' cause... only, as the movie progresses, the two principals somewhat switch roles. It's a really damn good Spaghetti Western.
Have you ever seen Volonte "normally"? He looks like an entirely different person than as Ramon and Indio.
@@Carandini It's one of the best "B" (if that's a fair label) spaghetti westerns out there. Sadly, it's kind of obscure.
GM Volonto was paced down many times on the Set from Sergio Leone, he was to intense in his acting. And yes i agree "Faccia a Faccia" is also a very good Western. But the Premisse there is political. I always use to recommend the "3 Sergios" to get a feeling and understanding of real "Italian Westernmaking" Sergio Leone, Sergio Sollima and Sergio Corbucci. Each an everyone unique but timeless... Investigate, explore, watch and enjoy 😊😊
Lee Van Cleef’s acting at the end of the film is fantastic. Seeing him about to break during the duel is à beautiful moment. Like he’s about to just give in to his grief and let Indio kill him until Eastwood shows up with his pocket watch.
About 15 years ago I heard this guy's ring tone and it was locket watch song. I turned and said 'For a Few Dollars More', he said 'yup'.
Jen, your enthusiasm is infectious, and the camera adores you! 🥰😘 xx
Lee Van Cleef was about to bail on acting when Sergio Leone came calling. "Colonel Douglas Mortimer" was the first step in Lee Van Cleef's rise to international movie stardom. "Sixty Seconds to What?," the tune played by the White Rocks piano player and the pocket watch chimes is another Ennio Morricone masterpiece.
I hate to use the word underrated, but Lee Van Cleef definitely is. Anything I've ever seen him in he is awesome
I never knew Van Cleef was going to give up on acting, so glad he didn't.
“Death Rides a Horse” is also a great performance from Lee
@@NPA1001 I'd say that one and 'The Big Gundown' have his best roles.
Eastwood's role on Rawhide, a TV series that ran from '59 to '65, is what made him famous.
Nice to see you reacting to this one Jen. "Where life had no value death sometimes had its price. That is why the bounty killers appeared."
This is a fantastic movie and a fan favourite for being the best one in the trilogy but “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” just takes it to a whole other level and I can’t wait for your reaction to it.
For "Classic Westerns" I'm going to suggest another trilogy. Director John Ford has three movies that are referred to as the "Cavalry Trilogy." The movies are "Fort Apache," "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," and "Rio Grande." Great action. Great casts, including some guy named John Wayne. Well worth the viewing.
Always here for Jen vocalizing to a great composer 🥰
25:39 Indio gets Manco to put the brace on to prove he's a bounty killer, essentially. It's supposed to help with the recoil.
These first two movies introduced Clint Eastwood as the lead character, but it was "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" that kind of cemented him as a western star. Don't stop with just this trilogy though. "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is maybe my favorite western of his, but personally, I have enjoyed all of Clint's movies and I hope you get into the "Dirty Harry" movies also. I'm sure you would enjoy them.
High Plains Drifter is a classic Clint western too.
Yes, in the US. But in Europe even the first of the trilogy was a hugh success. In the US the first two films were only shown after the good, the bad and the ugly was filmed. Therefore Clint couldn't become a star there after the first two...
At some point, enough time passes we can actually call these Classic Westerns. Thanks for another great reaction, Jen.
I think with the westerns in particular we can't because of the demarkation that was made even at the time. You had the Spaghettis, the 'neo-westerns' that were being made in the US as a kind of response to the increasing violence and populatrity of Italian westerns (The Wild Bunch would be a good example here, or Heston's 'The Last Hard Men') and then you had the American westerns that were still trying to be very much in that classic vein (nearly anything from Audie Murphy with maybe the exception of 'The Texican'), so it isn't so much the term 'classic' as we apply it to other genres but rather a sub-genre all it's own. I'd say the biggest tell for a Classic western, is the morality of the protagonist isn't ever ambiguous, the good guy will end up doing the right thing because it is the right thing, not from selfish or dishonorable motives. Spaghettis and neo-westerns delighted in having more morally gray and complex characters... which is their strongest asset in my opinion. Hell, contrast Paladin with Harmonica and I think that's a good example of what I'm talking about.
Classic westerns aren't called "classic" because they are old or something like that. They're classics because they're canonical, meaning there was a way, a formula of doing them.
During the 50s (with precedents though, like Stagecoach) westerns started to be done differently, defying the "formula", and then in the 60s westerns were just subversing classic westerns, so they were called anti-westerns or revisionist westerns.
Spaguetti westerns were made in that 60s context although they have a slightly different feeling than the american westerns of that time. So, this is why they shouldn't be called "classic"
@@Carandini I disagree in that spaghetti's and neo-westerns portrait more complex characters. Howard Hawks, of course John Ford, Anthonny Mann and others made westerns based on even more complex characters before. In fact, I'd say that usually Spaghetti westerns have quite plain characters many times.
I remind you, for example, John Wayne's character in The Searchers, best example of an ambiguous main character. Probably the most despicable I ever seen in a western, classic or not.
The pretension, I think, was subverting the old westerns tropes, changing aesthetics, making them more violently graphic and so on. Notice for instance, how romance is usually out of these new westerns formula.
That sounds like your opinion of "classic". Mine is any western that stands the test of time. Any film, for that matter. But thanks for your condescending lesson.
@@CarolinaCharles777 Thanks for your neanderthal reply, I suppose. Not my opinion on 'classic' either (because I sure as hell think this stands the test of time far better than much-acclaimed dreck like 'My Darling Clementine') but trying to clue you in that AS FAR AS FILM CRITICS are concerned, the 'classic' western is a very specific style and type of story-telling, just as every mystery isn't instantly a film-noire. Anyway, enjoy your ignorance.
Hi Jen. Love your reactions and I'm glad you liked both Dollars movies. I can't wait to see your reaction to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Not just a great western but a truly great film from any genre. The 3 main protagonists, Clint, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef are fantastic in this and the stand off at the end is just absolutely brilliant and the Ennio Morricone score that accompanies it couldn't be any more perfect and still gives me goosebumps even though I've seen it countless times. Definitely in my all time top 5 favourite films. I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan.
The Good, Bad, & Ugly is generally regarded as the best of the three. Since it was the last of the three, I think it made the most money. It is my personal vote for BEST! But, I think The Unforgiven is Clint's best Western. Great job, Jen! 😊❤😊❤
To really understand Unforgiven you have to see at least a couple of the Dollars trilogy to really get the flavour of Clint's portrayal of William Munny and what he was doing with the character. I think of it like the ending to the Dollars movies. Like them, not directly connected, but it seems like Clint is playing the same guy in all of them and Unforgiven feels like the finale.
@@ronweber1402 great point of view, Ron! I totally agree!
That was a detachable stock that Mortimer used to shoot the outlaw in the beginning of the film. Yes, Clint was fanning his revolver. It’s a single action and the hammer has to be cocked for each shot.
Did you notice that one of the gang is Klaus Kinski, Nastasia Kinski’s father?
13:20 - That's a "jew's harp" (name of unknown origin but nothing to do with Judaism, possibly from French "jeu" or play). Loving your stuff, Jen! I hope you get to watching one of my favourite little comedies, "Three Amigos!" (1986) sometime. It's what I like to call a "mini masterpiece" and the production had a lot of ties with The Simpsons. You'd be my perfect movie watching buddy I think, we are oddly alike in many ways! Peace and best wishes from the UK ☺
Better known as a mouth harp nowadays.
In my opinion, the best in the "Dollars" Trilogy. It's just perfect and hits all the right notes. The Italians were showing Hollywood how to do the Western right! So many iconic names here. 🤠
Agree
There's a saying about the difference between classic westerns and spaghetti westerns. In classic westerns the hero is the best shot, in spaghetti westerns the best shot is the hero.
You saw Lee Van Cleef in "Escape from New York" as the Police Commissioner.
Absolutely love this film, so many epic moments. Amazing score, too.
The actor that played Colonel Mortimer is the same actor that played the police commissioner in your last reaction, Escape from New York.
Lee van Cleef and fun fact the evil sheriff in the Jackie Chan movie Shanghai noon was named van Cleef as a tribute to him.
In addition to the trilogy, you need to do The Outlaw Josey Wales too 😊
Can't go wrong with a Clint Eastwood western
Definitely Josie Wales.
Lone Watie and Ten Bears of the Comanches.
The outside shots were filmed in Spain while most of the interior shots were filmed in Italy. The studio town in Spain where this was filmed is now a tourist attraction called 'Mini Hollywood'.
My fav of the 3 movies....once you're done with these you should watch "High Plains Drifter" and "Outlaw Josie Wales"....and then of course
"Unforgiven"...all classics ..
Unforgiven won best picture of the year..
Mark 4:54 Shooting the horse, dog, or other innocent animal was one way that older Western movies identified the villains and villainesses.
Now, somehow, people want subtlety or something odd. 🙄
The duel in the ruined mission church is one my favorites in all of film. The cinematography and music dovetail so perfectly and Indio embodies the heartless villain to the hilt.
"And now I'm sure you hate me just enough."
Is one of coldest lines ever...
I think the instrument you wonder about is a jew, or jaw, harp.
The voices for all of the Spanish and Italian actors are remarkable.they fit each actor superbly
In preparation for the next one, there is a fabulous performance of the title melody by the Danish National Symphonic Orchestra
The gun fight in the church has got to be one of the top 10 best scenes in Western films. I don’t see how it can’t be, everything about it is well done
I always liked an interview with one of Sergio Leone’s co-writers. He said when Leone hired him, he handed him his draft of the script, which was all the scene directions and descriptions of the action, and huge blank spaces where the dialogue was supposed to go, and he just told the co-writer “fill that part in.” His collaborators said he had a gift for knowing the entire layout of what every scene was going to be and what it was going to look like, but he just couldn’t crack writing dialogue.
I love Gian Maria Volonté's portrayal of the psycho El Indio going more and more unhinged.
I believe the boingy instrument you were wondering about is a Jaw Harp. It is a piece of metal shaped like C= with a piece of spring steel extending from the middle of the C between the legs. One places the legs on ones lips and strums the spring steel which resonates in the mouth. I think, I've never been able to get one to work.
Add paint your wagon to your clint Eastwood watch list it's a one of a kind clint Eastwood movie
I also suggested PAINT YOUR WAGON, in past comments. Jen, it's probably the ONLY time you get to see Clint Eastwood sing a love song. Excellent film Excellent recommendation, I second this suggestion 😊
''Gonna paint your wagon, gonna paint it fine. Gonna use oil based paint because the wood is pine!''🎵
I think the movie "Dirty Harry" cemented Eastwood's superstardom. A fun western that he did that was released in 1970 was "Two Mules for Sister Sara."
Many Italian directors of this period saved time and money by not recording sound during filming. That's why all of the dialogue is dubbed and all of the sound effects are added in post, which is why watching their films feels so different than American movies where sound is recorded during filming.
Classic western “The Searchers” John Wayne. Need to watch.
Almost at 50K subscribers. Congratulations! That’s quite a milestone for you.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly is considered the best of the three. You gotta do it. It has the biggest budget and the most famous music. It really put Clint Eastwood on the map and made him a star, I think.
El Indio was portrayed by the late Gian Maria Volonté, who previously played Ramon Rojo in the first film.
This one is my favourite of the trilogy. A tad underrated since it's the middle sibling, but an amazing entry
If someone didn’t say it already, the third film is actually a prequel
Ennio Morricone's music in the trilogy is epic.
Clint Eastwood became famous for playing Rowdy Yates on raw hide
No. Not famous like she's asking about here.
Oh! I forgot last time, but it still applies this time. Ahem.
I watched "Man With No Name" recently thanks to "Tubi". We made the switch from "AT&T" to "T-Mobile" and Dad and I got new smartphones. Then I lost my new smartphone and now I have a newer one that is supposedly the same model as the one I lost.
Here's the strange part, to me anyway. Your equipment must be better! I'm indirectly viewing the movie via your set-up, and it looks better to me than it did when I viewed the movie indirectly! 🤔
How does that happen? 🤔
"For a Few Dollars More" is the favorite film of the trilogy for many fans. You pick up on a lot of points very well for a first-time viewer. El Indio is one of the screen's most-ruthless villains. He is uber-scary! Morricone is at the top of his game with the music for the getaway of the El Paso bank robbery. It gives me chills.
32:45 Regarding your question of whether it was a thing in westerns that the good guys win, in the comedy "They Might be Giants," George C. Scott is watching a classic western with his therapist Joanne Woodward in a theater that shows old movies, and he explains that he likes westerns because "If you look closely, you can see principles up there. You can see the possibility of justice in proportion. There were no masses in Dodge City. Only individuals whose will for good or evil can bring them to the ends they ought to have. I like that very much."
Hi Jen, great to see you enjoying this trilogy, looking forward to the next one. Clint had been a regular character on a western Tv show prior to these films, but these launched his film career. :)
Sergio Leone once said that the main bad character had the symptoms of syphilis. Might explain the strange music theme he has. And his behavior. Like to see your reaction to the good the bad and the ugly. That one is really epic
I always thought it was because he was smoking a J.
As an oldie who saw it when it was first released, I think this is the best the best of the trilogy. It's pace was a reflection of the time before cellphones when life was a less stressful place.
It gets better with every movie, because more and more characters were included. As already mentioned here, part 3 tops all. Amazing reaction as always Jen :D
Like I was telling you on the Snake Plisken video Lee Van Cleef. Interesting backstory. He was an accountant and just picked up one day and decided to become an actor.
If you like these, Jen. Be sure to check out the "My Name is Trinity" series. And of course, the classic, "Jeremiah Johnson."
The Franklin Mountains rise high above El Paso. On either side of the Franklin Mountains are large desert basins. To the west is the Mesilla Basin or Mesilla Bolson. "Bolson" is Spanish for "purse." To the east of the Franklins is the Hueco Basin or Hueco Bolson.
This is my favorite of the dollar trilogy.
It's crazy that most of us saw all these masterpieces you've posted over a life-time period and you see them all in one year. Insane.
Hard to say which is my favorite of the trilogy, it's definitely between the second and third. Clint and Lee Van Cleef teaming up is awesome, but the Good the Bad & the Ugly has some amazing moments, like the Ecstasy of Gold. I'm super excited to see Jen's reaction to that
Yes, I guess I'm interested in Jen's reaction. One of my dad's favorites that he too me to see when I was a kid. Wasn't a big fan, more of a John Wayne man! However your patreons should have clued you into Clint and Shirley MacLane in "Two Mules for Sister Sara", very excellent western!
"Two Mules" is a lot of fun. I think Jen would love that one. It's got a score by Ennio Morricone as well.
The key to understanding the Leone Italian Westerns, "Opera with almost no singing"
After the terrific dollar-trilogy came my personal favorite western since the dawn of cinema, Once Upon a Time in the West. Henry Fonda playing against type made for one of the best villains in film.
I'm calling it. Jen needs to play RedDead Redemption2 for us, and post her playthrough here on RUclips. She loves westerns, she loves emotional music, it's the best story since forever... Jen was made to do this!
You know the actor who played Bobba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch) modelled the character's stance and costume on Clint's Man with no Name.
Guess everyone is now also waiting for the reaction to the 3rd movie of the "trilogy". 😀 Actually, then you'll be halfway through the Leone movies! So why not just complete the list with his next and final 3: "Once upon a time in the West", then "Duck you s*cker" (aka "A fistful of dynamite" aka "Once upon a time the Revolution"), and finally "Once upon a time in America". You won't regret it. Always with music by Morricone. These are even more epic, and even more beautiful musc.
Personally I feel like My Name Is Nobody is the epilogue to the western movies Leone did (he didn't direct it, but he was one of the main writers, if not _the_ main writer) - a light-hearted comedy that's also a farewell to the genre.
Eastwood was already big by the time I was born, but I think "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" ('66) was his most commonly referenced movie when I was a kid. There are DOZENS to choose from. "The Outlaw Josie Wales" ('76) and "Pale Rider" ('85) were both pretty popular when I was growing up... and then there are his non-westerns, like "Dirty Harry" ('71) and "Escape From Alcatraz" ('79). He's kept busy the last sixty-or-so years.
The instrument making the 'boiiiiing' sound is a mouth harp (also called a jaw harp) and features in a lot of Westerns.
The instrument you are asking about, used to signify Lee Van Cleef’s character, Colonel Mortimer, is called a Jew’s Harp (sometimes referred to as a Jaw’s Harp). Clint’s instrumental cue is the flute. Great soundtrack in this one.
Btw, Mortimer uses a detachable shoulder stock, turning his long barreled revolver into a carbine, giving it much better accuracy at longer range.
The third one was the one that made Clint a star. It definitely is the most famous. I remember listening to the theme song when I was a kid. The theme music from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" has become far more iconic and famous than the movie itself. You can find videos of people playing it with all kinds of instruments over the decades. To me, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" has the most compelling story of the three. Eli Wallach, who was a fantastic American actor, was great as Tuco. I don't want to spoil anything about the plot but it is to most people I think far more memorable than those of the first two. The last act, featuring Clint, Eli, and Lee Van Cleef (Col. Mortimer in this movie) is classic.
He would have been well known already.
Apparently Clint was under TV contract for 10 years and couldn't film in the US, which is why he went overseas for movies.
He was known for TV but outside of Rawhide most of his shows were just one episode here and there. He had also done some movies, but most were small parts. The spaghetti westerns were his first starring roles and that third one cemented him as a movie star. After that he never did TV again.
This is my favorite of the "Man With No Name" trilogy. Mainly because I love Lee Van Cleef.
Even though they say his name in it lol
@@ericseitzler81 they say it in "Good, Bad, Ugly" too, lol!
@@robertkramer2271 they call him a different name in that one didn't they?
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is definitely a must watch, but be prepared for a long movie. All these spaghetti westerns are so much better due to the music. I upvoted the current video because I want you to continue.
The music, the whistling, the obvious dubbed voices - all of these movies are one of a kind.
Love this film trilogy.
In the film there's a newspaper with the headline "The Morton Brothers Killed by Bounty Killer". Morton Brothers being the guys Clint's character gunned early into Fistful of Dollars. The photo shows Clint's character standing over their bodies. So even if we were to assume they're not the same character, they exist in the same world.
I really hope you continue with "Once Upon A Time In The West" after "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". It's Leones absolut Masterpiece.
FYI: Stocked pistols (revolvers) are held as shown in the movie because hot gas escapes from the small gap between the cylinder and barrel, so placing both hands back at the grip keeps them out of harms way.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is next. Probably the most famous one. But For a Few Dollars More is my favorite. But I feel like there's one more after the next one called Hang 'Em High. You should definitely watch that one, too. I believe that would conclude the spaghetti westerns. -OG
My favourite Clint Eastwood western. Love the story, great characters, violence and I've never forgotten the music from the pocket watch 💪💯
For a Few Dollars More made $5MM in Italy and $15MM in the States. It was a smash.
You're really, really, going to like the music in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". It's awesome.
On RUclips, look up The Danish National Symphony Orchestra- The Good the Bad and the Ugly. It’s perfect! Their version has well over 100 million views and is well worth your time.
@@THOMMGB Yep agree 100%
@@THOMMGB their version For a Few Dollars More is also a killer radiation.
@@aurelian7831 I really hope you mean it's a killer rendition, which it is.🙂 I have a love/hate relation with the spell check thing.
@@THOMMGB yes
Yes, the good guys always won until 1968. Most westerns were made before 1968 before the end of the Hollywood Decency Code enforced by the Motion Picture Production Code (Hays Code).
One of the parts added into the code was that "virtue must be triumphant".
The member of Indio's gang with the hunchback is a very famous actor (many would say infamous). Klaus Kinski was most renowned for his work with director Werner Herzog. They had a fascinating relationship, which, in fact, Herzog made a documentary about.
You might want to look into Herzog's oeuvre, though it hardly makes up the type of films one ever sees on reactor channels
I had to LOL at your question about the budget. Given the success of the first movie, I'd have to say this was done for a few dollars more. 😁
Just an FYI - the "Hunchback" character is played by Klaus Kinski, an actor with a rather volatile temper, who became famous in films by German director Werner Herzog. (They clashed often, sometimes getting into physical fights.)
Kinski is also the father of Nastassja Kinski, a well known actress in her own right.
HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER is one of the best of Clint's westerns. Not a spaghetti western, but it has many of the same ingredients Clint used to produce it (under Malpaso). Another is PALE RIDER (produced under his own name, and also directed it). For Spaghetti westerns, I always liked Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST(Paramount, '69) best of all.
Clint Eastwood's most under-watched western role is "Partner" in the movie musical "Paint Your Wagon".
You can absolutely believe the Eastwood character is the same character in your headcanon. Joe (Dollars), Monco (Dollars More) and Blondie (Good, Bad & Ugly) are played almost the same by Clint, especially Monco and Blondie. I really hope you get to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly but it has a much longer runtime and is widely considered a western epic.
The final shootout is featured in Earthquake 1974, and Earthquake features in Scarface.
2.1K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️
Notes: Ahem. Hmm. 🤔
Okay, I see you have seen the Kurt Russell version of "Tombstone" and I hope that you will see Kevin Costner in 1994's "Wyatt Earp"! I noticed that you have "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" as a set! "Tombstone" & "Wyatt Earp" should be a set too!
I see that you've seen the latest version of a "Django" movie and the trilogy, "Back to the Future"! So now you are ready for the 2014 shared universe movie "A Million Ways to Die in the West"!
In "Pale Rider" a girl's dog is shot and killed and as she prays at his grave, she prays for the titular character, played by Clint Eastwood!
Clint Eastwood was already well known by the time he made _A Fistful of Dollars_ as he was the lead character in the popular TV Western, _Rawhide_ (1959-1965).
Lee Van Cleef's first film role was as a henchman in the classic Western _High Noon_ (1952). _High Noon_ should absolutely be on your list of classic Westerns. It is #2 on AFI's Top Ten Westerns list (The Searchers is #1).
Technically he was the second main character than the lead but I see your point.their was a famous gunslinger back in 1885 named Clint Eastwood that beat up Buford tannen and helped him get arrested but sadly he died the same day in a train crash.
Lee van Cleef was also one of the henchman of Lee Marvin in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, another great "classic" Western.
You'll love "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," Jen. It's one of the greatest movies ever made. After that one, most people watch Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West." It's also very great.
