- Hey Guys, we're reacting and breaking down ""A Fistful Of Dollars" the first of the Sergio Leone CLINT EASTWOOD Collaborations we know as SPAGHETTI WESTERNS!. SERGIO LEONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DIRECTORS FULL STOP. WE are doing westerns for the next few weeks. This is a another quintessential Clint Eastwood Movie, and probably the film that made his career. Also Please note. We had a focus issue on out main camera, I do apologize for that. We'll have that worked after the next time.
Please also Check out my Film "Wannabe: All Washed Up" which will be premiering at Los Angeles Comedy Film Festival in the next few months. Here is webpage www.lafilmfest....

Eastwood didn't even want to do another western, having just finished the Rawhide series. But he took this role for a free European vacation. And was surprised when it bacame a huge hit.
Amazing how little things like that lead to great things
another reason for the dubbing was that this movie (aswell as many other italien westerns) had many actors from different countrys (italians, americans, germans, etc.) and many of them couldn't speak / understand the other languages, so they had the script lying around in like 4 different languages, and everyone just said their lines in their native language and they just dubbed it for each country anyway.
And the different regional dialects of Italian are so different, they are almost unintelligible. Cinema has played a large part in creating a "standard" Italian that all speakers can understand, but this was not the case when cinema first began. Actors from different regions would star in the same movie and they would be dubbed by voice actors speaking specific dialects or "standard" Italian.
The Back to the Future 3 reference actually starts in part 2 Biff is watching this movie in the hot tub when Marty interrupts with Grey's Sports Almanac
The movies that gave me a lifelong love for the epic serapé (cloak) which the man with no name wears to such great effect. For reference, a pancho has a hood, which no drifter with any self respect would ever go near.
Ooh serape, here I was saying poncho like a sucker. Thanks!
Addition irony: Yojimbo *wasn't* an original story. Kurosawa "reimagined' Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest, which was eventually made into the silly movie Last Man Standing...which was attributed to Kurosawa instead of Hammett.
Millers Crossing is a combination of Red Harvest and The Glass Key, also by Hammett, who isn't acknowledged in the credits...again.
Hammett must be _sighing_ in his grave 'cause of the kooky wheels within wheels.
Depth of knowledge
He *did* get credit for The Maltese Falcon, so there is that.
@@majormoviemadness9927 I mean...Hammett didn't get credit for Back to the Future 3 either. Tbf, his grave is probably cool with that.
@@majormoviemadness9927 Trump-Biff is watching Fistfull in BttF 2 from his hot tub in his casino... specifically the scene with the bullet proof metal thingy - CALL BACK!
And Dashiell Hammett's isn't the first version of this story either. The first is Carlo Goldoni's play Il servitore di due padroni, (1745) "The Servant of Two Masters". So in the end it circles right back to Italy ,-)
Yes, the Back to the Future 3 scene was inspired by this. Pretty openly too, considering he's watching that specific scene in Back to the Future 2.
I would say Once Upon a Time In The West is the Gone With The Wind of westerns. The music score alone is a character in itself. Back to Fistful. The apologize to my mule like I know you're going to scene is classic.
I'm firmly in the "this is no trilogy"-camp.
Joe, Monco and Blondie are different people, just as Ramón Rojo and El Indio, played by Gian Maria Volontè, who dies in the first two movies. So are Douglas Mortimer and Angel Eyes played by Lee Van Cleef. There are a bunch of actors playing minor roles in two or all three of these movies. Sergio Leone liked to use actors he knew, so they come back over and over.
Sure, Clint Eastwood play similar characters, but he does so in other movies too. Are they all the same guy, changing his name all the time? The trilogy thing and "man with no name" was a marketing thing when the distributers were selling the three re-edited movies as a package in USA.
That said, I still like your reactions. Just had a rant that needed to come out.
Just my opinion, but two films might be linked, in a Fist Full of Dollars ‘Clint’ has his hand stepped on, the next movie For a Few Dollars More, he is wearing a leather brace or cuff on his hand and forearm ?
Clint’s snake design handle revolver is used in all three films, if you want to link the three movies together. 😏
One of the best reaction channels on RUclips, no idea how you guys aren't in the hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
In time sir Rome wasn’t built in a day

Bruce Willis‘ Last man standing, is a 1930‘s bootlegger reboot of this movie. Quiet amusing watching the trilogy, the far east, the European and the US version as comparisons.
Ps: stumbled across ur quiet delightful little channel and started perusing ur content. Watched the: Once upon a time in the west, episode first and thought I’d now do the trilogy posted here from the beginning. Quiet fun I must say. Nice
Ennio Morricone. Great composer. Italian depictions of the Old West are probably more honest and realistic. As you said, it was unruly and probably more dirty too, and most people had ambiguous motives for doing things, unlike the more glamorized version of American Westerns.
I also recommend the Spaghetti Westerns of "the other Sergio",Sergio Corbucci.Especially The Great Silence and the original Django with Franco Nero.
Another great choice guys! Can’t wait for you to do some Kurosawa. Do you plan on watching Once Upon a Time in America? Nice one.
"Last man standing" staring Bruce Willis is again a remake of this movie! It’s pretty good! Willis is the Eastwood character and Christofer Walken plays the Ramon character!
This is one of my favorite Clint Eastwood movies. Even though the 2 "sequels" are considered greater films, this is the movie I watch for sheer entertainment. You'd think Fistful of Dollars was a bad movie to read how much praise is heaped on For a Few Dollars More and The Good The Bad The Ugly! lol
Give a thanks to Kurosawa then.
Sou brasileiro. Este filme pode ser até considerado menor quando comparado aos outros Leone, se bem que na minha simples opinião ele é melhor que Theme from a few dollars more, porque sua violência é mais intensa, mais crua estilizada, e que Leone reduziu neste último. Mas retornemos ao primeiro ponto, A fistfull of dollars foi o melhor filme lançado bem 1964, o mais inventivo, o mais inovador, já trazendo a marca de gênio de Leone, e foi este, dos três, o que mais influenciou Peckinpah e uma geração inteira até os dias de hoje. Já trazia a imagética e narrativa revolucionárias de S. Leone.
S. Leone é um dos raros diretores em que muitas vezes ficamos se saber apontar qual seu melhor filme e esta dificuldade decorre de seu estilo ter ser muito bem pensado e construído o que resulta em uma unidade do primeiro ao último, ocorrendo quase que apenas o aperfeiçoamento na construção imagetica de um para o outro. Seus filmes tem uma concepção barroca com influências diversas, principalmente nos diretores formais anteriores como O. Welles, Eisenstein, o próprio Kurosawa, etc. E além disso a influência do movimento neo- realista italiano, a pintura renascentista europeia, etc. Resumindo seus filmes tem diversas camadas não perceptíveis em um primeiro contato.
Great channel! I've been binging you guys!
🙏 thanks

Randolph Scott/Budd Boetticher westerns, James Stewart/Anthony Mann westerns please...
RANDOLF SCOTT!!!!
I'm a little offended by the lack of whiskey consumption during a Leone viewing.
We’ll get you on for a few dollars more
You’ll be happy next week
This is the best of the lot. It's lean, but it has such good character development. With each "sequel" the bloat gets worse and worse, and don't even get me started on Once Upon a Time in the West, which Eastwood took a pass on. Wisely, as it turns out, as it's beyond bloat.
I get that, but it's also a great movie. Like The Good The Bad The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West is three great movies mixed together.
3:39 slow down yankee.. the history of Italian dubbing has social roots.
Coming out the WW2 in the 50s and still in the early 60s great part of Italy was plagued with analfabetism of adult population (you know, when people can't read or write) and diffuse poverty (in particular women, but that's another story). So too many people still could not read and write and television was NOT spread, there was like one TV every 10 families, owning a TV was really a sign of some wealth. BUT at the same time every place, even the smallest town, had a cinema.
And so just after the WW2 Italy has been flooded by the American cultural products, that the Fascism had blocked since from the 30s.
So if TV is not spread and and still too many people can't read (subtitles), how can you reach your customers and let them appreciate a movie in a theater?
Of course Watson! By dubbing the movie.
This has originated a real "school" of dubbing actors, men and women, "voices" specialized in dubbing almost everything (of course movies, but time by time everything... the Simpsons too), in the most perfect way. And of course, something might be alien to your ears, but just because you have heard the original... imagine of never having heard Robert De Niro's own original voice EVER in your life. You won't miss it.
Old mexican proverb? Highly unlikely. At any rate those guns were relatively new at the time this story takes place.
kurosawa liked to watch american western lone-hero movies and patterned yojimbo after them . going full circle.

I don't care how thick his sarape is: you will hear a rifle bullet hit metal. Yes, I'm that guy.
You guys say your 'Film Makers' but you can't light yourself or focus a camera?
I love you
FYI we’re soon changing locations lighting etc you may be more happy
@@majormoviemadness9927 suggest you to watch the great silence 1968
Guys guys guys listen to me you got to do a fistful of dynamite which is the end call to Leone's work. It originally was going to have tuco as the main character, but Leone eventually had a change of heart on that, instead of new faces fistful of dynamite also known as duck you suckers follows the path of Juan and John through the period of the second Mexican revolution, it is the Pinnacle of Leone's work and it speaks so much to how he grew up in the time of world war II on the Italian side of the war
