A Fist Full of Dollars is actually an unofficial remake of a Japanese samurai film called "Yojimbo", you should go check that film out too, and if you get a taste for samurai films then you should also check out the old series of films about a character call "Zatoichi" who is a blind swordsman.
@@joeday4293 "Unforgiven" is a stronger film, more realistic and not a fantasy western. It's gritty, bleak and a more honest portrayal than the "Old West" gunfighter myths.
It's from his spaghetti western trilogy. "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" , "A Fistful of Dollars", and "For a Few Dollars More". Clint couldn't get a job in the States so he had to go to Italy. Director Sergio Leone make Clint a huge star with these 3 movies.
A bunch of Westerns were inspired by Japanese Director Akira Kurasawa. "Yojimbo" = Fist full of dollars. "The Seven Samurai" = The Magnificent Seven. And more.
@@feldweible Kurasawa watched "A Fistful of Dollars" and said it's a good movie. It's my movie. Leone didn't give him credit. I own Yojimbo and it is great. "Last Man Standing" with Bruce Willis is the same movie but Walter Hill gave credit where it was due.
hard to find an old western that's not good, heck I bet there's no genre with a higher hit rate than westerns, even the really cheap westerns of today are somewhat decent, gotta love shirley mclaine riding on that mule, haha
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is arguably one of the best movies ever made. As well as The Outlaw Josey Wales which has so many great quotes it's hard to keep up.
Watched the GBU again yesterday after Fistful of Dollars, haven't found for a Few Dollars More yet so out of sequence but alas... Love being snowed in, LOL. Did Unforgiven Thursday, as a warm up.
This is part of the trilogy. It goes : A fistful of dollars, For a few dollars more, the good the bad and the ugly. You can't go wrong with old Clint westerns.
Once you're done with Clint's westerns you should check out his "Dirty Harry" series of movies. He started in westerns as Roudy in the tv show Raw Hide. Clint being older in Pale Rider and Unforgiven also westerns It'll be a fun ride for sure Great reaction guys keep it going :)
There are three of these, all good, but "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" is widely considered the best. I would watch all 3, that one last. My dad took us to see these, I must have been about 8 years old. Great soundtracks too!
"Hell has come for breakfast" clip from "The Outlaw, Josie Wales", a classic movie, in fact any clip from that movie, a Clint Eastwood movie. The cuts and the focus on the facial expressions are perfect examples of Sergio Leone's "Spaghetti Western", the man with no name trilogy, this one, "A Fistful of Dollars","The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", not with Clint Eastwood, "Once Upon A Time In The West" (You brought 2 too many horses clip)
Funny about the focus on the facial expressions, as I believe Leone was once quoted saying something (in good spirits) along the lines of "Clint Eastwood has two facial expressions: glaring, and glaring with a hat."
Leone actually picked actors or extras with "interesting" faces, unlike American westerns which went with stereotypical handsome faces. This also shows in his close-ups of eyes during scenes to add extra intensity or drama
Clint Eastwood is the man! Ruggedly handsome, tall and imposing, and an incredible presence on the screen. A great talent as both actor and director. An American icon they simply don’t make anymore. A Hollywood bad ass portraying tough guys on screen the only other actor even remotely in the same rarified air would be The Duke - John Wayne. Both legends!
Realism was imported from Europe to America, today America is returning to the far west of many years ago, another European is needed to set an example. In america it is the market that decides, but if you manage to make a work of art, you inevitably change the market... and at that point the market is oriented towards art.
For a Few Dollars More is my favorite of the Trilogy. So much communication takes place without words - a nod of the head, a knowing glance, an entire scene without dialog, a curl of the lips.... It's a masterpiece of film making.
Saw it in the theaters when I was about 12. Loved it. Watched it again recently, and it still holds up, though I wish they'd re-shot the scene where Clint draws on the blue-bellies in the town. F-ed up the "quick" draw pretty badly.
"A Fist full of Dollars" should be watched first.... The Enforcer, Magnum Force, Play Misty For Me, Outlaw Josey Wales, Escape From Alcatraz, The Gauntlet, Unforgiven, High Plains Drifter, Good, Band and the Ugly, are some of my favorite Clint films.....
I read an interview somewhere where Clint E said he hated those cigars but they made him squint the way the director wanted. The spaghetti westerns (Italian) are what got him going. Also, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra (they have a YT channel) do an excellent job on the sound tracks.
Ennio Morricone wrote some pretty damn awesome music for the movies. The duel at the end of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly still gives me goose bumps, and it's in large part thanks to the music. That's a scene I'd recommend they check out, especially if you include the scene before that where Tuco is running through the cemetery because that part has a pretty awesome score too.
I believe Clint is also on record saying the small cigars were his idea because he liked the look. He bought long ones, and cut them into thirds to achieve the look he wanted, along with the rest of his costume which he also designed.
I went to the movies as a young man in England when there was a rare double bill. The two films were A Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More. I loved them. I'd only known Clint Eastwood from the Rawhide television series. Since then Clint has given me a lifetime of movie pleasure so thank you Mr Eastwood. 👏
Okay, I'm old, but, when I was a kid we ran to the theater when there was a new Clint Eastwood "spaghetti western" playing .He was the coolest ever. Ennio Morricone's music throughout the films made them classic.
"For A Few Dollars More" is one of the great Sergio Leone movies. Lee Van Cleef plays an excellent part in this movie. One of my favorites. You also must watch "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly".
The trilogy of Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood are a must see. Love these movies. The aura and atmosphere of these are very different from the typical Hollywood westerns.
As well as his westerns & cop films, he`s in two good WW2 films. The first is (Where Eagles Dare, 1968) as a co-star, the 2nd is (Kelly`s Heroes, 1970) as the lead.
this is legendary. the man with no name is the greatest badass in the history of mankind. nobody will ever top his iconic gaze. this movie is part of a trilogy. you should watch all 3 movies in order. they are called the dollars trilogy. the first one is A Fistful of Dollars in 1964, the second one For a Few Dollars More in 1965 and the greatest of them all and the third and final movie the iconic The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in 1966
I love classic Clint Eastwood movies like A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Even his cop movies are classics like Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, and The Dead Pool
Hang Em High, Bruce Dern to Clint Eastwood: You'll never get me to Fort Grant alive boy. Clint Eastwood: Then I'll get you there dead... boy. Dirty Harry quotes; Do you feel lucky? Well do ya punk! A man's got to know his limitations. Go ahead, make my day.
The 3 Spaghetti Westerns (Westerns that were filmed in Italy) that launched Clint's career were... 1-The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 2- A Fist Full Of Dollars 3- For A Few Dollars More. I love every single one of them!
One of my favorite movies he made that steps away from his western genre was "Every Which Way But Loose". It's sort of comedic, and it really showcases his athleticism. Clint was always a health nut.
Sergio Leone is known for close-ups & reaction shots... The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is actually a prequel set in Civil War (shows how he gets the outfit & pancho), followed by FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, & FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE. I also recommend "Once Upon a Time in the West" by Leone, Two Mules for Sister Sara, High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Josey Wales & Unforgiven (arguably Eastwood's greatest western). Enjoy
You can perceive it that way, though I think that Blondie picking up the poncho was simply a nod to the previous two films, and wasn't meant to depict TGTBTU as a prequel. If it was a prequel, it would beg the question, what did Blondie do with his $100k in order for him to continue risking his life (for a lot less money) in A Fistful of Dollars? The way I see it, the 3 films are set in parallel universes, where Clint's characters (Joe, Moncho and Blondie) share the same spirit, lifestyle, weapon and poncho (constants) and the other characters are variables; Mortimer in FAFDM and Angel Eyes in TGTBATU; Ramon AFOD and Indio in FAFDM, etc. There's an almost supernatural vibe to the 3 films with the way Clint enters and exits each picture, as if Clint's characters are drifting spirits, and this trend was continued with High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider.
OK1) The first 10 mins of a Fistful of Dollars....his initial introduction as "the man with no name". (2) Although the other two actors are introduced as well (Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef) the intro of the Good, The Bad and The Ugly characters is a must see...about 15 mins for all 3. (3) After that, the showdown at the end of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in "Sad Hill Cemtery" is a classic. Thanks so much for sharing your first view of these movies with us. I was around 16 (in 1968) when I first saw these and, in many ways, they are still my favorite Clint Eastwood movies.
When the COVID lockdown started, my wife and I streamed a lot of movies. We did themes like, all the Clint Eastwood movies, from the old spaghetti westerns to the Dirty Harry ones to the more current ones. He’s one of my favorite actors.
If you liked this scene, watch the beginning 6-7 minutes of the first western movie he made, "Fistful Of Dollars", it has the most badass scene in movie history.
That classic scowl that he has in these films is due to the cigar…he said in an interview that these cigars were so disgusting that it caused that scowl everyone came to love
Clint Eastwood started off in the TV series Wagon Train. Did quite a few "spaghetti" Westerns. A few war movies. Moved into the cop movies as Dirty Harry. A psychological thriller in Play Misty for Me. Back to westerns with The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Man With No Name series. Into the comedy tough guy in Any Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can. And then into the more recent stuff. Bridges of Madison County, Million Dollar baby and Gran Torino. And back to the modern Western with Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood is such a large rabbit hole to go down.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of dollars, A Few dollars more. That's the order. Also, check out Clint telling these gunfighters to apologize to his mule.
Clint actually got his start in a black&white t.v. western series Rawhide. His movie career started with 3 Spaghetti Westerns, called that because they were filmed in Italy. He was the Bounty Hunter With No Name. The best of them is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. He has starred in, appeared in, directed, or produced a hundred or so movies. His Dirty Harry movies is where he plays a police detective in San Fransico. A new partner in one movie asked him why he is called Dirty Harry and he said because he got every dirty job that came along. He carried a .44 magnum, famous quote "You have to ask yourself..."Do I feel lucky today. Well do you punk?" Any Which Way You Can and Every Which Way But Loose, comedy's starring Clint and an orangutang named Clyde. You guys should start doing full movie reactions, maybe once a week. You can edit them down to 15 or 20 minutes.
Great reactions guys. Can’t believe you haven’t seen Clint’s early stuff. For a Few Dollars More was a sequel to ‘A Fist Full of Dollars’. Other great Clint Eastwood westerns from this period were - Hang em High, The Good The Bad and the Ugly (probably his greatest movie), The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider’ and later movies such as his directorial masterpiece and tribute to the old western genre ‘Unforgiven’. If you like comedy try ‘Every Which Way But Loose’ and the sequel ‘Any Which Way You Can’. I’m a big fan of Clint and his ‘Dirty Harry’ movies of the 70s and 80s are legendary. ‘Gran Torino’ and Heartbreak Ridge’ from a few years back are also high on my list of great Eastwood movies. Thanks TNT family, always dig your reactions and reviews. Keep em coming. 🤠👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Loved your reaction to this clip. The joy, the enthusiasm, and appreciation for the acting. This movie and others like it, listed below, are directed by Sergio Leone who lets, the camera, the sound, and actors' movements tell the story. Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, all Clint Eastwood westerns and all directed by Sergio Leone, a master at his craft. Another Sergio Leone classic and one of the greatest westerns ever made (many say it is the best), Once Upon a Time in the West.
I grew up watching all the Clint Eastwood movies with my mom and dad. Cliint has always been a Bada$$!! The dark has to have a night light because it is afraid of Chuck Norris. But it doesn’t turn the night light on because it is MORE AFRAID the light will wake Clint Eastwood up.
It's the Man with No Name trilogy which are #1 "A Fistful of Dollars, ... #2 For a Few Dollars More,..and #3 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" You guys should definitely watch these movies as they are So Good ,..especially if you like Clint Eastwood :)
All great. Fun fact, although The Good ,The Bad and the Ugly was last of the three films, in the actual chronological order it was first. This is when he gets the poncho and becomes the man with no name.
Clint was early-on a regular on the TV western "Rawhide" that ran from 1959 to 1966 about cowboys driving cattle to market. I never missed it or Gunsmoke when I was a kid. As others have said, this is the middle movie of a trilogy so you need "A Fistful Of Dollars" first. The last of the three is "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly." You can also see Lee Van Cleef in the last two, albeit with completely differing roles.
Badass scenes from the "Dirty Harry" movies, watch them after you are done with the westerns. There are many, but one is the "smith Wesson and me scene", another is the"sidewalk scene dirty harry"
The best of all time is The Good the Bad and the Ugly. It had Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. The soundtrack theme song is still number 1 till this day. And it came out in 68 or 69.
theres 3vmovies all should be watched together 1, fist full of dollars, 2, for a few dollars more, 3, the good the bad and the ugly, all whats called spaghetti westerns because they were all filmed in italy and all the extras are italeans playing mexicans. these all are masterpieces and that pause you were talking about was for translating from italean to english.
Eh kids this was the new genre of westerns , called spagetty westerns by Sergio Leone ,american westerns rolled on a faster pace and less facial closeups
First time I ever saw Clint Eastwood was when I was a kid and saw him as Rowdy Yates in the TV series “Wagon Train”. Still remember and love that show.
All of Clint's movies of that era are all great. Check out the Danish National Symphony, The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Sound track of the movie of the same name. Trust me you will love it.
When it comes to westerns, it began with Randolph Scott, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda to John Wayne. But Clint changed the game with this series of movies. You are aware of the "Dirty Harry" series aren't you? There's a whole lotta Clint that came before Million Dollar Baby.
@@marioarguello6989 No he does not get the recognition. He was tougher than the Duke imho. Westerns in his hay day? if he wasn't in it, few heard of it. These stars were of my parents childhoods but thanks to 150 channel's today, I've seen times you could watch old Westerns for 2 days straight and Scott is in 80% of them HAHA! He had to be the biggest Hollywood stud of his era.
@@kustomdeluxe8489 Absolutely but I remember him mostly from his WW2 pictures. But yes! A real American War Hero and movie store. They say he was pure natural, in real life just as on the screen. And for what he did, saw in WWII? ... special human being. An era where American's respected the "stars" and we looked up to them. I miss those times. Kind of like finding out Santa Claus isn't real.
oh my - you/ve really roused my attention now - it's so hard for me to comprehend that there are generations of people that don't know these movies. there is so much to say - for a start this is a 'spaghetti western' which is to say that it was not produced in holywood but by italian director sergio leone. it is the sequal to a fistful of dollars and part of a classic trilogy of great films - the other being the good the bad and the ugly. the music is an essential part as is the ocmposer enrico moricone. i can't recommend these films highly enough and as an asside you should check out the danish philharmonic performing this music. clint eastwood is also famous for the dirty harry movies based around a hard boiled cop armed with a magnum 44. clint was for a long time regarded the height of cool. sorry to go on for so long but you really need to see these movies.😎
The best opening to a western film and as good as any opening to any film is the first 10 to 15 minutes of "Once Upon a Time in the West." Also, a Sergio Leone film!!! You really shouldn't miss it. So much acting without words and just faces, a water drip, and a fly! A masterpiece of cinematography.
Please do check out these classics. Clint Eastwood pretty much got his start playing the affable cowhand Rowdy Yates on the Rawhide TV series (1959 - 1965). Sergio Leone saw in him the potential to play a mysterious "man with no name" in Italian-produced "spaghetti Westerns" mostly filmed in Spain. The idea of a lone warrior who plays both sides of a town's factions was borrowed from Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's classic Yojimbo. Ennio Morricone added the genius of his scores to these movies. The results are Westerns with a unique stylish Mediterranean feel. I recommend starting with the first one - A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and then The Good The Bad and the Ugly (1966). These are called The Dollars Trilogy although they are really three separate stories so you don't really have to watch them in order. Gotta check out the "my mule don't like laughing" clip from A Fistful of Dollars as well as The Danish National Symphony performing the theme from The Good The Bad and the Ugly. There was also a great Netflix documentary called Sad Hill about modern movie fans finding the shooting location of the last scene in The Good The Bad and the Ugly and putting on a screening of it there.
I Swear ive been a fan of Clint Eastwood since 1989 and im born 1981 :). I discovered CVlint eastwood then when our house had caught fire so we were forced to stay at my uncles house while he was away as a UN soldier in Lebanon thats a story in itself. However my uncle had tonnes of VHS of like Clint Eastwood and Terence Hill/Bud Spencer etc so Spaghetti westerns really got me going :). Every time Clint put a cigar in his mouth my smile goes up i cant friggin describe the joy of watching this legendary actor :). Cheers from Sweden
Clint's spaghetti westerns are classics. I'm sure someone else has suggested The Good The Bad And The Ugly. It's a long movie but has a lot of the unspoken dialog done with facial expressions. Between Clint, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Walloch their eyes and faces do half the talking.
If you love Clint Eastwood movies, you should really watch "Thunderbolt & Lightfood". He is playing beside Jeff Bridges, who did this as his first movie, and Clint guided him along playing in front of the camera. It is a realy long movie, but a fantastic one.
This movie was filmed in Tabernas, Spain close to where I used to live. They turned the movie set into a theme park and they even have a western shootout show with actors shooting each other and stuff. There is also a zoo within the theme park as well. The place is awesome :)

Ive watched all his westerns like 30 times each since 75 lol
The whole spaghetti westerns (made in Italy) are great! The Trilogy! A Fist full of Dollars, a Few Dollars More, & The Good, Bad & Ugly!
“The Outlaw Josey Whales” is a phenomenal movie of his.
Loved the character development for Chief Dan George (Lone Watie) in the Josey Wales movie.
Better than "Unforgiven" for my money, and "Unforgiven" is already art.
One of his best movies
Wales* not Whales.
@@joeday4293 "Unforgiven" is a stronger film, more realistic and not a fantasy western. It's gritty, bleak and a more honest portrayal than the "Old West" gunfighter myths.

@@Gokke888 👍🏼
From the western book series called "the man with no name"
its got two names the Dollars Trilogy or the Man with no Name Trilogy
Pale Rider
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is arguably one of the best movies ever made. As well as The Outlaw Josey Wales which has so many great quotes it's hard to keep up.
True joesy whales. Has so many one liners. A true. Western.
Dying ain't much of a living, boy.
Then they need to finish off the Clint Eastwood western exploration with The Unforgiven.
Best Western by far.
Josey Wales, not just for Clint but for Chief Dan George. He stole the show.
Gotta see the “Dirty Harry” series of movies
His best known role Dirty Harry
Think of Dirty Harry as what if Rambo been a cop
Or at least the first Dirty Harry film and Coogan's Bluff is good as well .
Go ahead, make my day. 'Well, Do Ya, Punk...
Dirty Harry was his best movie!!!!
It's so amazing to see the younger generation appreciate some of the old classics!!! And appreciate an icon!!!!😘❣️❣️
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966) is one of the best movies ever made! Another Clint Eastwood classic is Dirty Harry (1971) is another must see!
Watched the GBU again yesterday after Fistful of Dollars, haven't found for a Few Dollars More yet so out of sequence but alas... Love being snowed in, LOL. Did Unforgiven Thursday, as a warm up.
One of my favorite movies ever, and despite its slowing down toward the end, still immensely moving and incredibly memorable.
91 years old and still looking good his first was Raw Hide' the tv show in the early 60s. Clint is a living legend. Great one guys🔥🔥🥳☮️☮️♥️
The poncho, the little cigar, the squinting eyes. and the music are classic in these movies.
A small detail that I love about this scene is that the only time Eastwood uses his right arm is when he draws his gun.
I just commented the same thing, how he uses only his left hand to do everything except shoot, he even fought one handed.
Cos he had his other hand on the gun the entire time...
Clint was a badass in this era. If you really want to see Clint "Regulate" a town, watch "High Plains Drifter" for some more awesomeness.
YUP !!
Clint doesn't take a "No" in that one lol
Great movie but what about The outlaw Josey wales? That was a badass Clint western
One of my favorite movies ever. I think I watched that one and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly at least once a year for so long
This is part of the trilogy. It goes : A fistful of dollars, For a few dollars more, the good the bad and the ugly. You can't go wrong with old Clint westerns.
Once you're done with Clint's westerns you should check out his "Dirty Harry" series of movies.
He started in westerns as Roudy in the tv show Raw Hide.
Clint being older in Pale Rider and Unforgiven also westerns
It'll be a fun ride for sure
Great reaction guys keep it going :)
"Pale Rider" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales" are two of my favorites.
Loved Pale Rider.
@@woodysthoughts4032 Outlaw Josey Wales, is my favorite. Pale Rider he is death, as he rides a pale white horse. Ingirgiven is great also..
for a different Clint, check out Honkytonk Man!
@@HeikoEbeling That is a good and different side of Clint, I'm surprised no one has done a review/commentary of "Any Which Way You Can"
There are three of these, all good, but "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" is widely considered the best. I would watch all 3, that one last. My dad took us to see these, I must have been about 8 years old. Great soundtracks too!
"Hell has come for breakfast" clip from "The Outlaw, Josie Wales", a classic movie, in fact any clip from that movie, a Clint Eastwood movie.

My favorite quote from the Josey Wales movie is, "Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy."
Funny about the focus on the facial expressions, as I believe Leone was once quoted saying something (in good spirits) along the lines of "Clint Eastwood has two facial expressions: glaring, and glaring with a hat."

Leone actually picked actors or extras with "interesting" faces, unlike American westerns which went with stereotypical handsome faces. This also shows in his close-ups of eyes during scenes to add extra intensity or drama
Clint is an absolute legend! Best actor ever! And of course the music is epic!
Clint Eastwood is the man! Ruggedly handsome, tall and imposing, and an incredible presence on the screen. A great talent as both actor and director. An American icon they simply don’t make anymore. A Hollywood bad ass portraying tough guys on screen the only other actor even remotely in the same rarified air would be The Duke - John Wayne. Both legends!
The reason why the vibe to this genre is so good is because the dialogue isn't rushed.
Realism was imported from Europe to America, today America is returning to the far west of many years ago, another European is needed to set an example.
In america it is the market that decides, but if you manage to make a work of art, you inevitably change the market... and at that point the market is oriented towards art.
Eastwood has many great westerns you both need to watch. I love them all.
For a Few Dollars More is my favorite of the Trilogy. So much communication takes place without words - a nod of the head, a knowing glance, an entire scene without dialog, a curl of the lips.... It's a masterpiece of film making.
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" has always been my #1 movie. Always will be.
yes my second favorite western to The Good The Bad and the Ugly
Saw it in the theaters when I was about 12. Loved it. Watched it again recently, and it still holds up, though I wish they'd re-shot the scene where Clint draws on the blue-bellies in the town. F-ed up the "quick" draw pretty badly.
Totally agree.
Hes not only an iconic" actor for decades"", but hes an amazing director! Soooo many movies, all great!
"A Fist full of Dollars" should be watched first....
The Enforcer, Magnum Force, Play Misty For Me, Outlaw Josey Wales, Escape From Alcatraz, The Gauntlet, Unforgiven, High Plains Drifter, Good, Band and the Ugly, are some of my favorite Clint films.....
Pale Rider is also one of my favorites!
Sergio Leone was a master of suspense. Also check out A Fistful of Dollars, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and Once Upon a Time in the West.
I read an interview somewhere where Clint E said he hated those cigars but they made him squint the way the director wanted. The spaghetti westerns (Italian) are what got him going. Also, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra (they have a YT channel) do an excellent job on the sound tracks.
You're right. I even heard Clint say there were times when the cigars nearly made him vomit.
Ennio Morricone wrote some pretty damn awesome music for the movies. The duel at the end of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly still gives me goose bumps, and it's in large part thanks to the music. That's a scene I'd recommend they check out, especially if you include the scene before that where Tuco is running through the cemetery because that part has a pretty awesome score too.
I believe Clint is also on record saying the small cigars were his idea because he liked the look. He bought long ones, and cut them into thirds to achieve the look he wanted, along with the rest of his costume which he also designed.
I've seen the orchestra performance. Magnificent!
I went to the movies as a young man in England when there was a rare double bill. The two films were A Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More. I loved them. I'd only known Clint Eastwood from the Rawhide television series. Since then Clint has given me a lifetime of movie pleasure so thank you Mr Eastwood. 👏
All of his western movies are classics
Okay, I'm old, but, when I was a kid we ran to the theater when there was a new Clint Eastwood "spaghetti western" playing .He was the coolest ever. Ennio Morricone's music throughout the films made them classic.
"For A Few Dollars More" is one of the great Sergio Leone movies. Lee Van Cleef plays an excellent part in this movie. One of my favorites. You also must watch "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly".
It's a cool movie. Lee Van Cleef's entrance is just as impressive. He was a great character actor playing the rival bounty hunter in this movie.
The trilogy of Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood are a must see. Love these movies. The aura and atmosphere of these are very different from the typical Hollywood westerns.
As well as his westerns & cop films, he`s in two good WW2 films. The first is (Where Eagles Dare, 1968) as a co-star, the 2nd is (Kelly`s Heroes, 1970) as the lead.
this is legendary. the man with no name is the greatest badass in the history of mankind. nobody will ever top his iconic gaze. this movie is part of a trilogy. you should watch all 3 movies in order. they are called the dollars trilogy. the first one is A Fistful of Dollars in 1964, the second one For a Few Dollars More in 1965 and the greatest of them all and the third and final movie the iconic The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in 1966
I love classic Clint Eastwood movies like A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Even his cop movies are classics like Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, and The Dead Pool
Also “The Gauntlet”
Hang Em High, Bruce Dern to Clint Eastwood: You'll never get me to Fort Grant alive boy. Clint Eastwood: Then I'll get you there dead... boy. Dirty Harry quotes; Do you feel lucky? Well do ya punk! A man's got to know his limitations. Go ahead, make my day.
The 3 Spaghetti Westerns (Westerns that were filmed in Italy) that launched Clint's career were... 1-The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 2- A Fist Full Of Dollars 3- For A Few Dollars More. I love every single one of them!
One of my favorite movies he made that steps away from his western genre was "Every Which Way But Loose". It's sort of comedic, and it really showcases his athleticism. Clint was always a health nut.
You picked the best western to watch ! This is my favorite Clint Eastwood movie of all time.
That series of his movies were some of the coolest ever made!
Sergio Leone is known for close-ups & reaction shots... The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is actually a prequel set in Civil War (shows how he gets the outfit & pancho), followed by FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, & FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE. I also recommend "Once Upon a Time in the West" by Leone, Two Mules for Sister Sara, High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Josey Wales & Unforgiven (arguably Eastwood's greatest western). Enjoy
The order of the films is A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
You can perceive it that way, though I think that Blondie picking up the poncho was simply a nod to the previous two films, and wasn't meant to depict TGTBTU as a prequel. If it was a prequel, it would beg the question, what did Blondie do with his $100k in order for him to continue risking his life (for a lot less money) in A Fistful of Dollars? The way I see it, the 3 films are set in parallel universes, where Clint's characters (Joe, Moncho and Blondie) share the same spirit, lifestyle, weapon and poncho (constants) and the other characters are variables; Mortimer in FAFDM and Angel Eyes in TGTBATU; Ramon AFOD and Indio in FAFDM, etc. There's an almost supernatural vibe to the 3 films with the way Clint enters and exits each picture, as if Clint's characters are drifting spirits, and this trend was continued with High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider.
For the ultimate badass Clint Eastwood- 2 words: "Dirty Harry". All the Sergio Leone trilogy have EPIC sound tracks.
You guys ought to check out the Clint Eastwood "My mule don't like people laughing" clip. Hilarious.
OK1) The first 10 mins of a Fistful of Dollars....his initial introduction as "the man with no name". (2) Although the other two actors are introduced as well (Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef) the intro of the Good, The Bad and The Ugly characters is a must see...about 15 mins for all 3. (3) After that, the showdown at the end of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in "Sad Hill Cemtery" is a classic. Thanks so much for sharing your first view of these movies with us. I was around 16 (in 1968) when I first saw these and, in many ways, they are still my favorite Clint Eastwood movies.
It is supposed to be Sand Hill Cemetery and there are several located in Texas, some predating the Civil War.
When the COVID lockdown started, my wife and I streamed a lot of movies. We did themes like, all the Clint Eastwood movies, from the old spaghetti westerns to the Dirty Harry ones to the more current ones. He’s one of my favorite actors.
If you liked this scene, watch the beginning 6-7 minutes of the first western movie he made, "Fistful Of Dollars", it has the most badass scene in movie history.
Absolutely right
I mean, you don't insult a man's donkey.
AGREED !!... THATS SCENE IS EVEN MORE BAD ASS !!
They refused to apologize to Clint's mule.. thus Clint had to order up the coffins.
Sorry, make that four coffins.
My God he has done well over 100 films of all types since the 1950s TNT !!!!
Many of them MONSTER Hits, Wey're youes Bing Mang !!! Lol : D
The Spaghetti westerns are iconic. I binge watch the whole trilogy every year or two.
That classic scowl that he has in these films is due to the cigar…he said in an interview that these cigars were so disgusting that it caused that scowl everyone came to love
Clint Eastwood started off in the TV series Wagon Train. Did quite a few "spaghetti" Westerns. A few war movies. Moved into the cop movies as Dirty Harry. A psychological thriller in Play Misty for Me. Back to westerns with The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Man With No Name series. Into the comedy tough guy in Any Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can.
And then into the more recent stuff. Bridges of Madison County, Million Dollar baby and Gran Torino. And back to the modern Western with Unforgiven.
Clint Eastwood is such a large rabbit hole to go down.
Clint Eastwood was not in Wagon Train, he was in Rawhide.
Clinton Eastwood was in a movie called Paint Your Wagon in the 60's.He sings one song and he also smiles.Great movie.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of dollars, A Few dollars more. That's the order. Also, check out Clint telling these gunfighters to apologize to his mule.
Clint actually got his start in a black&white t.v. western series Rawhide. His movie career started with 3 Spaghetti Westerns, called that because they were filmed in Italy. He was the Bounty Hunter With No Name. The best of them is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. He has starred in, appeared in, directed, or produced a hundred or so movies. His Dirty Harry movies is where he plays a police detective in San Fransico. A new partner in one movie asked him why he is called Dirty Harry and he said because he got every dirty job that came along. He carried a .44 magnum, famous quote "You have to ask yourself..."Do I feel lucky today. Well do you punk?" Any Which Way You Can and Every Which Way But Loose, comedy's starring Clint and an orangutang named Clyde. You guys should start doing full movie reactions, maybe once a week. You can edit them down to 15 or 20 minutes.
Great reactions guys. Can’t believe you haven’t seen Clint’s early stuff. For a Few Dollars More was a sequel to ‘A Fist Full of Dollars’. Other great Clint Eastwood westerns from this period were - Hang em High, The Good The Bad and the Ugly (probably his greatest movie), The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider’ and later movies such as his directorial masterpiece and tribute to the old western genre ‘Unforgiven’. If you like comedy try ‘Every Which Way But Loose’ and the sequel ‘Any Which Way You Can’. I’m a big fan of Clint and his ‘Dirty Harry’ movies of the 70s and 80s are legendary. ‘Gran Torino’ and Heartbreak Ridge’ from a few years back are also high on my list of great Eastwood movies. Thanks TNT family, always dig your reactions and reviews. Keep em coming. 🤠👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Clint is a national treasure. We don't have movie stars like him anymore. Not even close unfortunately.
Loved your reaction to this clip. The joy, the enthusiasm, and appreciation for the acting. This movie and others like it, listed below, are directed by Sergio Leone who lets, the camera, the sound, and actors' movements tell the story.
Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, all Clint Eastwood westerns and all directed by Sergio Leone, a master at his craft. Another Sergio Leone classic and one of the greatest westerns ever made (many say it is the best), Once Upon a Time in the West.
Haven't seen that movie since I was a very young kid. Great reaction.
Clint has the ability to act without words spoken better than most.
It blows my mind that anyone of any age doesn't know that Clint Eastwood is a badass, and always has been.
The great thing about old movies is they don’t rely on special effect as much as now so you don’t see the outrageous action sequences as now
All of his westerns were filled with him as a badass.
I grew up watching all the Clint Eastwood movies with my mom and dad. Cliint has always been a Bada$$!!
The dark has to have a night light because it is afraid of Chuck Norris.
But it doesn’t turn the night light on because it is MORE AFRAID the light will wake Clint Eastwood up.
It's the Man with No Name trilogy which are #1 "A Fistful of Dollars, ... #2 For a Few Dollars More,..and #3 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"
You guys should definitely watch these movies as they are So Good ,..especially if you like Clint Eastwood :)
All great. Fun fact, although The Good ,The Bad and the Ugly was last of the three films, in the actual chronological order it was first. This is when he gets the poncho and becomes the man with no name.
@@aurelian7831 oh really, I didn't know that....cool :)
Clint was early-on a regular on the TV western "Rawhide" that ran from 1959 to 1966 about cowboys driving cattle to market. I never missed it or Gunsmoke when I was a kid. As others have said, this is the middle movie of a trilogy so you need "A Fistful Of Dollars" first. The last of the three is "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly." You can also see Lee Van Cleef in the last two, albeit with completely differing roles.
Badass scenes from the "Dirty Harry" movies, watch them after you are done with the westerns. There are many, but one is the "smith Wesson and me scene", another is the"sidewalk scene dirty harry"
You gotta watch A Fistful Of Dollars where locals insult his mule, Eastwood was and still is a legit badass.
His 1st western was "A Fistful Of Dollars" This was the 2nd, "For A Few Dollars More".
Fantastic movie. Theres a tremendous scene with the main villain in this movie that gave me goosebumps the first time I saw it
The best of all time is
The Good the Bad and the Ugly. It had Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. The soundtrack theme song is still number 1 till this day. And it came out in 68 or 69.
Clint Eastwood Westerns were the Best!!!! Thank you for the Reaction!!!
Best American actor of all time…a REAL man…always calling out these commie leftist lunatics….Mr.Eastwood is an absolute legend
I just love Clint Eastwood's old school stuff. One of my idols for sure.
You want badass? You want Dirty Harry!
I grew up with Clint as a kid watching his movies and loved them all. I’m 50 years old and still watch them when they come out.
theres 3vmovies all should be watched together 1, fist full of dollars, 2, for a few dollars more, 3, the good the bad and the ugly, all whats called spaghetti westerns because they were all filmed in italy and all the extras are italeans playing mexicans. these all are masterpieces and that pause you were talking about was for translating from italean to english.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. They were filmed in Spain, with an Italian director, with with some Italian actors, but mostly gypsy actors.
I mis spoke yes filmed in Spain
Eh kids this was the new genre of westerns , called spagetty westerns by Sergio Leone ,american westerns rolled on a faster pace and less facial closeups
First time I ever saw Clint Eastwood was when I was a kid and saw him as Rowdy Yates in the TV series “Wagon Train”. Still remember and love that show.
I am not sure why but this may be my favorite of all your reactions so far :)
I love how he remained a dangerous man in his later years by being more savvy and experienced.
You guys should do full movie reactions.
There was no one cooler than Clint Eastwood!!! His old westerns are great
All of Clint's movies of that era are all great. Check out the Danish National Symphony, The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Sound track of the movie of the same name. Trust me you will love it.
Clint has been my hero since '72 when I was 6 years old. Your dad sounds like a cool cat! You and your wife are awesome!
When it comes to westerns, it began with Randolph Scott, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda to John Wayne. But Clint changed the game with this series of movies.
You are aware of the "Dirty Harry" series aren't you? There's a whole lotta Clint that came before Million Dollar Baby.
Man knows his westerns, Randolph Scott doesn't get enough love.
Most decorated soldier of WWII, Audie Murphy knocked out quite a few, No Name On The Bullet and Hell Bent For Leather are just 2.
@@kustomdeluxe8489 "To Hell And Back" was a good movie, or at least seemed so when I watched it more than 40 years ago.
@@marioarguello6989 No he does not get the recognition. He was tougher than the Duke imho. Westerns in his hay day? if he wasn't in it, few heard of it. These stars were of my parents childhoods but thanks to 150 channel's today, I've seen times you could watch old Westerns for 2 days straight and Scott is in 80% of them HAHA! He had to be the biggest Hollywood stud of his era.
@@kustomdeluxe8489 Absolutely but I remember him mostly from his WW2 pictures. But yes! A real American War Hero and movie store. They say he was pure natural, in real life just as on the screen. And for what he did, saw in WWII? ... special human being. An era where American's respected the "stars" and we looked up to them. I miss those times. Kind of like finding out Santa Claus isn't real.
Ennio Morricone was amazing and helped make these movies legendary.
oh my - you/ve really roused my attention now - it's so hard for me to comprehend that there are generations of people that don't know these movies. there is so much to say - for a start this is a 'spaghetti western' which is to say that it was not produced in holywood but by italian director sergio leone. it is the sequal to a fistful of dollars and part of a classic trilogy of great films - the other being the good the bad and the ugly. the music is an essential part as is the ocmposer enrico moricone. i can't recommend these films highly enough and as an asside you should check out the danish philharmonic performing this music. clint eastwood is also famous for the dirty harry movies based around a hard boiled cop armed with a magnum 44. clint was for a long time regarded the height of cool. sorry to go on for so long but you really need to see these movies.😎
I remember watching Clint Eastwood when I was 6 in the old black and white TV Western series 'Rawhide', I'm 68 now. He really has been around forever.
If you want some of his REALLY old stuff watch some episodes of the old TV series "Rawhide ".
Loved his character Rowdy Yates in Rawhide. With a dad & five brothers westerns were big in our house in the 50-80's. lol
The best opening to a western film and as good as any opening to any film is the first 10 to 15 minutes of "Once Upon a Time in the West." Also, a Sergio Leone film!!! You really shouldn't miss it. So much acting without words and just faces, a water drip, and a fly! A masterpiece of cinematography.
A Fist full of dollars
For a Few Dollars More
Then the best The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Please do check out these classics. Clint Eastwood pretty much got his start playing the affable cowhand Rowdy Yates on the Rawhide TV series (1959 - 1965). Sergio Leone saw in him the potential to play a mysterious "man with no name" in Italian-produced "spaghetti Westerns" mostly filmed in Spain. The idea of a lone warrior who plays both sides of a town's factions was borrowed from Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's classic Yojimbo. Ennio Morricone added the genius of his scores to these movies. The results are Westerns with a unique stylish Mediterranean feel. I recommend starting with the first one - A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and then The Good The Bad and the Ugly (1966). These are called The Dollars Trilogy although they are really three separate stories so you don't really have to watch them in order. Gotta check out the "my mule don't like laughing" clip from A Fistful of Dollars as well as The Danish National Symphony performing the theme from The Good The Bad and the Ugly. There was also a great Netflix documentary called Sad Hill about modern movie fans finding the shooting location of the last scene in The Good The Bad and the Ugly and putting on a screening of it there.
I Swear ive been a fan of Clint Eastwood since 1989 and im born 1981 :). I discovered CVlint eastwood then when our house had caught fire so we were forced to stay at my uncles house while he was away as a UN soldier in Lebanon thats a story in itself. However my uncle had tonnes of VHS of like Clint Eastwood and Terence Hill/Bud Spencer etc so Spaghetti westerns really got me going :). Every time Clint put a cigar in his mouth my smile goes up i cant friggin describe the joy of watching this legendary actor :). Cheers from Sweden
Clint's spaghetti westerns are classics. I'm sure someone else has suggested The Good The Bad And The Ugly. It's a long movie but has a lot of the unspoken dialog done with facial expressions. Between Clint, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Walloch their eyes and faces do half the talking.
I really enjoyed this clip, there are so many details I had to watch a few times to get them all
If you love Clint Eastwood movies, you should really watch "Thunderbolt & Lightfood". He is playing beside Jeff Bridges, who did this as his first movie, and Clint guided him along playing in front of the camera. It is a realy long movie, but a fantastic one.
I saw this movie and the other spagetti westerns in the theater as a kid in the 60s! You two are gonna love them, enjoy!!
This movie was filmed in Tabernas, Spain close to where I used to live.
They turned the movie set into a theme park and they even have a western shootout show with actors shooting each other and stuff. There is also a zoo within the theme park as well. The place is awesome :)
THAT WAS SO GREAT AWSOME GUYS PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!
i remember these old movies like yesterday thank you guys
