Guys, everybody stops at The Good The Bad And The Ugly when the best film by Leone is still to come, Once Upon A Time In The West is incredible and really shouldn't be missed, it scores 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and is probably the best western ever made. Please give it a chance.
Video title currently is "For a For Dollars More"
@@Justin.Franks Yeah, I know.
Thanks for a letting us know!
“High Plains Drifter” (1973) is another classic Western starring Eastwood, _and_ his directorial debut! Well worth a reaction!
Clint Eastwood is the top tier western anti hero in any movie.

@Womberto is EXACTLY RIGHT. "Once Upon A Time In The West" is one of the greatest movies of all time, not just one of the greatest westerns. Please watch that as well after "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly".
Also Duck You Sucker is a beautiful movie. More dramatic but Leone's style is always present. Unfortunately nobody reacts to it...
In some markets it's named a fistful of Dynamite. That's the version I have. I thought it was two different movies at first!😅
Yes! Once upon a time in the West! What a movie! A visual masterpiece!
@@nathanreeves9408 It is two different movies, the other name for A Fistful of Dynamite is Duck You Sucker.
Lee Van Cleef is always so cool.
the man who definded new the word bad-ass.
The duel with pistols in the mission is one of my favorite scenes in film. The organ music is so evocative, the cinematography...exquisite. Indio plays the villain to the hilt, and delivers one of the coldest lines ever-
"And now I'm sure you hate me just enough."
Great reaction!
El Indio is a great villain, and Mortimer is an awesome protagonist.
“My name is nobody” is an awesome spaghetti western that mixes comedy in.
A little trivia about Lee Van Cleef: He served as visual inspiration for the characters of Revolver Ocelot and Old Snake in the Metal Gear Solid video game series as well as inspiring the gunslinger personality of the former.
Did you know you were smiling all the way through? So glad you enjoyed it!
The town at the end is named Agua Caliente. They all end up in "hot water."
My favourite of the trilogy. A pleasure to watch with you young folks. Saw it Leicester Square Odeon in 1973.
22:22 Precisely, the long-barreled revolver (probably a Colt Buntline) was made for better precision and range.
Another gun wasn't used in Red dead. I'm guessing this particular revolver wasn't recognized a whole lot back in the day maybe that's why.
@@johnnymoreno5065 I didn't look if it is in RDR but in the movie Lee Van Cleef used a Colt Buntline.
This film was filmed in Spain not Italy. It's called a spaghetti western because the director and crew were Italian.
17:31 This actor is Klaus Kinski. He was an absolute lunatic. Seriously, look it up, The guy was scary on multiple levels.
Hey guys! Another great reaction... One more to go! And Lee Van Cleef (Mortimer) does return, but as a different character. 😊
1:25 i considered revoking my 👍🏼 for this video.
😇
I get a chuckle when watching this film because although it doesn’t expressly say so it’s supposed to take place in New Mexico, my current home. Tucumcari, Santa Fe, Alamogordo are all here. Tucumcari, a small town right over the Texas border (on the NM side) is on I-40 which runs directly into Albuquerque. Also, there’s at least one Santa Cruz, the town where Clint and other gang members were supposed to create a distraction, and El Paso is of course in Texas, but just over the border from New Mexico. I was born and raised in the South so it’s cool to me anyway that I now live in the Wild West.
This is my fave Sergio Leone/spaghetti western movie. You see how you guys were laughing throughout this whole thing, as if it was a comedy? That's one way you know you're watching a spaghetti western! Slow pace, lots of close-ups on eyes and faces, mostly Italian and Spanish (and, in this case, even German) actors, with one or two Americans thrown in. It's a subgenre of the western, it's definitely a western, but stylistically it's more specific (hence: spaghetti westerns). Virtually all the great westerns are from the silent era up through the 60s. After that the studio system died and they sold off all their backlots and movies/TV shows switched to cops and robbers instead of "cowboys and indians". (Most of your subscribers don't know any of this and are happy with the crappy westerns made from the 70s on, but the real mccoy is before then, and WAY before then, for the really great westerns. I'm not a huge western fan, but I'm a good movie fan.....and "For A Few Dollars More" is definitely a good one! The shooting of the hats is my favorite sequence in the whole lot of them. So cinematic, love the look of that whole scene.
The filming location is Spain. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is a true masterpiece. Just a further incentive.
As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
Clint Eastwood ICON ! Movies CLASSICS !
They were filmed in Spain, directed by Italians and often funded by Germans with the odd American actor.
Manco, if you noticed, one of his hands has a leather brace? Remember in the previous movie, how, when he was captured, the big thug, stood on his hand? Another link between the movies, even though they're not technically connected.
That was fun. Cant wait to watch Part 3 with you guys.
I really like Leone's attention to detail and his use of the music. When Mortimer and Manco see Indio's wanted poster, Manco looks at the top (the reward), but Mortimer looks at the bottom (dead or alive). He is not interested in the money, his buisness with Indio is personal, which is reinforced by the "shooting" between their eyes. When Mortimer and Indio come face to face for the first time in the pub, the chime from the watch plays in the background, hinting at their personal connection.
Another thing is the significance of the chime itself: During the duel between Indio and the guy who betrayed him, Indio shoots him first because the chime ends on an unexpected note and he is familiar to the chime, so he has an advantage. But in his final duel with Mortimer, the latter is able to draw before him because he knows the chime too.
It will be sad when Clint goes, there will never be another llike him.
There can come a time in a man's life where money is of no essence to his life in place of vengeance for a broken heart, Mortimer got the closure both he and his sister needed and that's all that truly matters to him. Amazing film
The Good the Bad & the Ugly is in my opinion not just the best Western ever made but in my top 5 movies ever made full stop! "Fistfull" focuses on Clint whereas "Few" is more Lee van Cleef's story and Eli Wallach is the main focus of the finale. You will be blown away 😁
3:15 - You can see the shadows cast by the film crew on the roof of the train, in the background.
Yeah this movie is really good honestly. The bad guy is really good in this and has a personal connection to our protagonist. And the uneasy friendship between Mortimer and Blondie to hunt down Indio is an interesting plot thread. Has interesting side characters.
If you like these type of movies I would watch The Outlaw Josey Wales and pale rider
After you guys finish the dollars trilogy you should watch
(Duck you Sucker) directed by Sergio Leone
Now on to the greatest western of all time and the prequel to the 1st two. TGTB&TU!!!
1:01 - You're correct, Sarah. These movies, which have no connective storylines, are more accurately described as a 'trio' rather than a 'trilogy'. What often confuses first-time viewers of these movies is that director Sergio Leone often used the same actors, to play similar roles, across different stories (films). Just to re-iterate, each film in this trio of 'spaghetti' westerns should be regarded as stand-alone stories.
By the way, a 'spaghetti western' IS a 'real' western. My defiition of a 'western' is any movie that has cowboys and depicts life in 1880s wild west.
The term 'western' is about the fictionalised locations within the film and not the 'actual' location where the film was made.
The Next one is much longer, but BY FAR MORE EPIC! You'll have the Theme Song playing in your head for days!
"High Plains Drifter" is another great Clint Western, with a whole new cast!
That poncho is in all the movies also 👍
Two unusual westerns no one has reacted to are big favorites of mine. There's an Australian western; "Quigley Down Under" with Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman. Really good stuff. Also, "Purgatory" (1999) with Eric Roberts, Sam Shepard, Donnie Wahlberg and Randy Quaid. It's a fantasy western unlike anything else. You won't ever forget it.
These movies were made by Italians but filmed in Andalusia, Spain.
48:05 - Colonel Mortimer has a different style to Clint Eastwood's character. Why? Mortimer is an ex-soldier of high rank with over thirty years of military experience. Ideal qualifications for a legally-sanctioned, well-paid 'bounty' hunter.
Fun Fact. Throughout literature and film-making you'll find a favorite 'trick' of some writers is to allude to 'death' or 'evil' in the naming of the bad guy/killer in the story..Usually the 'dodgy character who brings darkness even death to the story, will have a variation of the french or latin word for either 'bad' or 'death' woven into their name. eg. Malvolio, Malfoy, Mortimer, Moriarty, Mordor, Mordred, Morgan La Fey, Dr Moreau, and The Morlocks from 'H.G. Wells' The Time Machine..
That's why I recommend you never research the character names before you either read or watch a murder mystery, otherwise you may inadvertently deduce the identity of the 'baddie' beforehand.
Regarding your statement at 0:40, a Spaghetti Western is every bit as _true_ a Western as anything made in that period in the States, perhaps even more so, because they not only completely redefined the Western genre (most major Western films that have followed for the last forty years have taken numerous stylistic inspiration from the Dollars Trilogy), but they also helped to portray the West in a manner that was less romanticized and more true to the real-world grittiness and the morally grey figures of that historical period rather than the same old tropes of Hollywood Westerns at the time, which were growing stale and hadn't breathed any new life into the genre in years (which was part of the reason westerns had begun to fall out of style prior to Sergio Leone's trilogy).
I can't watch a Clint Eastwood Western without lighting up a Cheroot myself! hehehe
This movie is a cinematic masterpiece
They are not a trilogy. This is a great movie.
Omg I love y'alls reactions, I look forward to them every week. Please do more Clint Eastwoods spaghetti westerns like" High Plains Drifter, Joe Kid, Pale Rider, Hang em High" I very very very highly recommend these. You won't regret them . But keep up the amazing content
Spaghettis Westerns are like Film noirs to Western straight narratives.
The main characters are antiheroes, the law is incompetent or corrupt, and it subverts expectations of Western tropes.
However, they were super popular because they were more gritty, lived in than Westerns. The actors looked like they genuinely lived in such a time, less classically-good looking, bad teeth, tanned, dirty etc. And the violence is less clean.
Tarantino takes a lot of inspiration from them.
17.28 That's Klaus Kinski. A real life madman. He was captured by the British in 1944 at Arnhem when he was aNazi soldier.
12.22 Note on the watch. Indio had practiced with it to the point he knew exactly WHEN the tune ended..comes into play later, and knowing when is the biggest thing in that kind of duel.
He doesn't take the money in the tree he returned it
Who says These are not true westerns? They define the genre as the essential true western.
Great seeing this reviewed!!!
"Manco" in Italian means "mangled," and it refers to his right hand being crushed by Chico near the end of "A Fistful of Dollars." As a result, in this movie, the Man With No Name uses his left hand for everything... except shooting. Despite what you may hear elsewhere here, Joe/Manco/Blondie is supposed to be the same character across all three movies and this one is chronologically last.
Oh!!! "Manco" means "one armed" or "one handed". Which is appropriate because much of his fighting style and gun play is done single handed. Think it's just an alias
24.28 Pocket watches. Called a hunters case, with the flip open lid, the insides often had painted portraits of family ,or famous people in them. This pair was what was called a "Parent's set" large one being intended for a father and the small one for Mother. later versions would have cropped photographs, when tge technology came around, very popular guift item.
Wonderful Sergio Leone and❤🤠🤠🤠🤠 Ennio Morricone
the music from the early on church scene... is almost the same as the music from the climax, minus the organ and plus the mariachi sounds. They're like bookends. Callback. So Great.
This movie ❤ don't forget to watch Once upon a time in the West after this trilogy
It is kind of hilarious to me that you guys don't know what a pocket watch is! Great reaction, though. This is hands down my favorite of the series, and Colonel Mortimer is my favorite character. You don't get to see Lee Van Cleef play a good guy very often, but he did a helluva job here.
After you watch the third, please consider Once Upon a Time in the West, also by Leone. It's one of my favorite movies; very cinematic.
Probably non of you realized that Colonel Douglas Mortimer was primarily hunting Indio for vengeance. Not for the money.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly next please!!
One of the best reactions I have seen to this great film. I really enjoyed you asking so many questions/guessing throughout your viewing, something, barring the odd exception, most of today's "entertainment" doesn't want viewers to do - how many times do we hear "you can switch off your brain to it"?
As for the film, it's my favourite of Clint's trilogy. It may not be the sweeping epic that The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is, but for me it's the most stylish, tight, and atmospheric of the three films. I really love the chemistry between Eastwood and Van Cleef (who reminds me of my grandfather). Every frame would make a great poster! What really sets it apart is its soul, the revelation of Mortimer's true motive, the parting of the two protagonists, with the Colonel forfeiting his share and riding off into a glorious sunset; all aided by Morricone's stunning Addio Colonello.
All the outdoor scenes were shot in southern Spain just north of Almeria.
Great review and fab film and acting..
Actually filmed in Spain, but made with Italian director & money.
i would call them a ‘loose trilogy’ - they can be viewed separately but make sense as a trilogy. Its more Sergio Leone style that brings them together, the locations, style obviously the actors. I Was brought up on these, my mum and dad loved them and used to play the soundtracks. For me the are ‘westerns’ - when I watched John Wayne etc i thought they were silly. You have to watch The Good The Bad and the Ugly and also The Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter.
"The good , the bad and the ugly" is the best of the trilogy.
But the best movie in history, with "2001 a space odysse"; is "Once upon a time in the west". It will give you chills, you will cry. No other movie can you give so much emotions. The music is incredible, the cinematography is pure art and the actors play the role of their life. Sergio Leone and Stanley Kubrick are the best directors.
Great fun….can’t wait for the next one!!
So of course you guys are going to watch
“The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” next.
And I’m very psyched for that!
Past that, if you specifically want to see one of the classic westerns that inspired the video game, Red Dead Redemption, check out,
“The Wild Bunch” (1969)
This is an important film for the genre and for the movies in general. Wont get into all that now.
But believe me, once you start watching this film, you’ll start seeing a lot of parallels to the overarching story of Res Dead Redemption.
And even some characters that may seem a bit familiar in their roles.
Hope you two can watch it.
7.00 5 card draw. Stud is played one card face down and 4 face up, dealt one at a time.
When you said "'Why'd he kill him?!" I HAPPENED to glance at Eric's T shirt and thought to myself:
",.... cause he's stonnnnne colllllllld....."
The eyes. All have the eyes.
Enjoy watching your reaction to this movie. Have you seen The Good, The Bad And The Ugly yet? If not, you gotta see it!
A few dollars more is my favorite of the “trilogy” but I think y’all would also like the good, the bad and the ugly too.
32.58 freeze and zoom in on the money. Yeah, not one of Indio's crew can read.
The Musicbox was an extra add on. VERY expensive watches in the day, top of the line models.
which reMINDS me... you guys done GOODFELLAS yet?
You guys definitely need to see Unforgiven!
It's a pocketwatch
Any trouble boy?!
No old man. Thought I was having trouble with my adding. It’s alright now.
Wish I saw your reaction to that!
I always do this, but, IF this film was set, ohhh about 1860, THEN:
$1,000 in 1860 is worth $36,549.76 today
not a bad payday indeed.
Happy to see you laugh after spending five grueling reactions watching Chernobyl!!!
Growing up in post-war Italy, Sergio Leone was quite political. A Fistful of Dollars was just a remake of Kurosawa's Yojimbo. But this is his criticism of capitalism dressed up as a western, where every life has a monetary value. It's all about the money. You'll notice that at the end Clint doesn't count the bodies by the number of bodies, but by their monetary value. That's all that matters. The next one, The Good The Bad and The Ugly is an expansive anti-war movie dressed up as a western. You'll love it.
If you find these movies like cartoonish, well you are absolutely correct about it.
Leone's idea was just to realize the dreams he had has kid, when he played indians and cowboys and when he read comics and things abut gunslingers.
Trivia: in Italy has been published since 1948 the comic "TEX WILLER" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_Willer
And so later he created the trilogy AFOD, FAFDM, and TGTBATU ..
If you want to see more SERIOUS movies from Sergio Leone and his Masterpieces, you have to watch "Duck you sucker" and of course the two "Once upon a time...",
"Once upon a time in the west" and "Once upon a time in America"... 3 completely different movies, different from the Dollar-Trilogy.
If you pause when they open the safe some of the cash is Confederate money.
Morricone music.
Yall watching the 3rd film?
The man with no name was just a marketing gimmick that United Artists came up with.
Hogan. Two Mules for Sister Sarah.
Time for the Good, the Bad and the Ugly guys. Why not listen to the Danish National Orchestra playing the theme tune if you want a taster. It's on CZcams.
Justice for his sister..Mortimer's task is done. He can retire now.
Manko means 'unknown' or 'zero'.
Watch for the bank scam in El Paso...
you pronounce the E on the end of Leone.
The old man at 19:14 - is that Brandon (Biden) on one of his better days - maybe after calling "a lid" on press coverage? LOL
Please react on the movie ''Pat Garret, and Billy The Kid''.
For my money, Leone's finest hour. TGTBATU is brilliant, but it marks the beginnings of the self-indulgent bloat that increasingly defines the director's later career. FAFDM is lean, stylish, and perfectly paced.
Time's trilogy >>>> Dollar's Trilogy
@@TheMusterion76 If you like them, by all means enjoy them. Personally, I consider them bloated and pretentious, particularly the latter two. Once Upon a Time In America in my view exemplifies the worst sort of directorial self-indulgence, and feels about as true to human experience as a Transformers movie.
@@andrewforbes1433 you call it "self-indulgence". I call it maturity and awareness of his artistic and etic vision.
Only John Williams is better than Ennio Morricone when it comes to movie music.
Unforgiven (1992)
Pocket watch not locket! the good the bad and the ugly is the best in the series!
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was filmed first in 1964. But when the studio released them in the USA they picked a different order of release. The iconic wardrobe part of the 3 movies is when Clint gets his famous poncho near the end of Good, Bad & Ugly but his character already has the poncho in the previous two films. Clint characters are known as Joe, Monco and Blondie in all 3 movies. While garnering the nickname - "Man with no name" trilogy over the past decades.
It was NOT filmed first, where the hell do you get that from? GBU started filming in May 1966, way after the first two films were already released.
Its a great movie, not serious except for kids being killed but thats why we need congress . Or im an idiot.
