Once Upon on a Time in the West is great too. Once again iconic Leone + Morricone duo, but Clint Eastwood turned down main role, so Charles Bronson played it instead. Claudia Cardinale is gorgeous there.
Stop asking for great films when you're not watching them anyway. You're more concerned with watching every mediocre superhero and animated movie that exists. You don't really care about quality, you just want views.
Another Clint Eastwood classic, my personal favorite movie of all time, and a hell of a western is The Outlaw Josey Wales, another good western is Tombstone.
Leone cast him because, he said, Van Cleef's eyes burned through the screen. It's debatable whether Eastwood is or is not playing the same character in all three movies. It could go either way.
Apparently the “Man With No Name” thing was something the American distributor came up with when they finally got round to releasing these in the States. American prints tended to snip out the “His name is Manco” line along with a few other things.
While that is true, he still didn't have a real name in the Italian versions. They called him "Il Straniero/The Stranger" over there. "Joe" in "Fistful" is just a random name because he's a gringo. "Manco" in Italian means "mangled" and refers to his hand being crushed by Chico at the end of "Fistful." And "Blondie" is just what Tuco calls him because of his lighter (than Mexican's) hair. However, these days, the Italians have adopted "the Man With No Name" moniker and he's officially known as "Uomo Senza Nome/Man Without Name" over there.
"Manco" mean can mean "one handed" or "maimed". Cervantes, author of "Don Quixote", lost his left hand during the battle of Lepanto and was often nicknamed "El Manco de Lepanto". If you watch Eastwood's character here, you can see that he often capitalizes on the implication of this name.
@@melenatorr Yes, it CAN mean that, but this is an Italian movie written by Italian filmmakers for an Italian audience. They're going to utilize the Italian meaning so that it holds a relevancy to them.
@@ConstantineFurman In which case it still can work: "Manco" in Italian translates to "missing". And that meaning just opens the door to both physical and metaphorical implications. And just to stir the pot because it's a lazy Sunday afternoon for me right now: the script is Italian, by Italian writers, but takes place in Spanish speaking areas of the American West, and Spanish is heard in the movie. So, take it as you wish...
@@melenatorr The Spanish is irrelevant because that has nothing to do with how the information the intended audience is going to take it. Stop stirring the pot unless you have a valid point.
This one is my favorite of the three, absolutely 100%. It's my favorite Leone film period. The scene with the hats, I just love the look of that whole scene, how he shot it, the feeling of night.......a perfect sequence. Plus it's got Klaus Kinski! How the hell did HE wind up in this movie????!!!! 😄
It fascinates me how Sergio's skill and artistry improves by leaps with each film in this series. GBU is my favorite of the trilogy, but "Once Upon aTime in the West" is a must-watch. I consider it the logical conclusion to the series.
Thank you for a great reaction to this classic! 13:50 I'm just like that lady....a tall guy is my kryptonite! 😵💫😂 33:41 That sound effect destroyed me! I don't know if I'm over tired or what, but I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks guys! 😅
Although it's often referred to as the Dollars trilogy, Sergio Leone said he never intended them to be a trilogy. Although some actors appear in more than one movie, they're different characters with different names. In my opinion, the best of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns is one without Clint Eastwood, Once Upon a Time in the West.
"Sergio Leone said he never intended them to be a trilogy" Leone co-wrote "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" with Luciano Vincenzioni and in the descriptive lines in the script, Eastwood's character isn't referred to as "Blondie," but as "Joe." So, yeah, he did mean it to be three movies about the same guy. GBU even takes time out to show you how The Man With No Name/Joe/Manco/Blondie got his trademark poncho. They wouldn't have bothered with that if it weren't meant to be the adventures of the same man.
@@karlmortoniv2951 Maybe he never caught on in America, but he was a HUGE actor in Italy and is beloved to this day. When "A Fistful of Dollars" was made, he was far and away the biggest name in the movie in Italy.
Very excited for next Week’s reaction to _The Good, The Bad and The Ugly_ next week and if you want to watch more Westerns I recommend you watch _News of the World, The Magnificent Seven,_ and _The Revenant_
The music man ! That music box ! So memorable! That legendary soundtrack and style ! Definitely my favorite oldschool western back from the early 90s when my veteran grandpa showed it to us ! Lee Van Cleef was by the way legendary as an actor at the time. Its not just Clint Eastwood !! In fact even the Milanese Gian Maria Volonte (guy who played Indio, aka the Indian) was very well known as well at this point and he eventually got lifetime awards for his acting and screenwriting. Leone S. certainly made the most out of these insane actors in this trilogy though for the western genre! Thanks for another great reaction and can't wait for the end to the trilogy.
I loved these movies as a kid and still enjoy them. In the 70's they even made some great Comedy Spaghetti Westerns, 'They Call me Trinity" started an amazing carrer for the two stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, they are well worth waching if you enjoy a good laugh.
I absolutely love this movie, I grew up watching this and the original Magnificent Seven with my grandfather. Always wanted to be a cool calm gentleman like Lee Van cleef's character here
The Desperados video game franchise has characters based on these spaghetti westerns. It even has levels clearly based on the saloon and bank from this movie.
Corbucci made some great spaghetti westerns, too--Django (obviously referenced by Tarantino) and The Great Silence (which is just FANTASTIC). The westerns Clint directed are great too--High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, and especially Unforgiven. That last one is perfect to end an exploration of the western genre. Just my two cents of course.
I think this is the best of the "trilogy". Lee Van Cleef is amazing in this as Mortimer, and Indio is the best villain, I think. He is disturbing and disturbed, a real psycho. His cruelty is accentuated by the fact that he is more human than many other bad guys. The "trilogy" isn't really a trilogy; the 3 movies are just vaguely connected by actors and themes. The man with no name could be seen as the same character or 3 different characters. Manco means "one-handed" and is not his actual name.
Many spaghetti westerns were made in Italy but almost half the locations you see are filmed in Spain, especially exterior scenes in deserts with spanish actors, pretending to be taking place in Mexico. Sergio Leone became famous enough in 1968 to finally have a budget to shoot an epic western in actual American soil by making Paramount's Once Upon a Time in the West.
Yes, I paused almost immediately when he mentioned filming in Italy: while there would have been, of course, filming in Italy, Spain was, by far at this time, the chosen place for filming westerns (and other movies) because the landscape resembled the American West; because it was economic; because, for Italian crews, transportation would have been relatively simple. Our father, who was from Spain and worked as a travel agent in Andalucia, met many actors and directors in passing during the 1950s. But it is perfectly true that all the actors spoke their native language and things were dubbed in afterward. There's a very cool documentary on the making of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" which discussed the care taken in trying to match the dub to the lip movement.
The Good The Bad And The Ugly is the best of the no name trilogy. It is epic in every sense. The scale. The music. (Music so good Metallica used it as an into for live concerts for decades). The acting and the story. One of my favourite childhood memories is watching all of these 3 movies with my father back in the early 80's. Each movie is good for a variety of reasons. But Ugly turns it up to 11 out of 10.
Hey Gang, Google “A Fist Full Of Dollars, The Danish National Symphony Orchestra” to hear all the Eastwood Italian Western music !!! But do not go there until after watching “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly” western. You’ll see how soundtrack scores are made for movies, so fantastic !!! The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly music is SO EPIC that you must hear it first in the movie and then see how it is done by the Danish folks, -esp. the “Wa Wa Woman” & and the great saphrano woman soloist. So FANTASTIC to see & hear how great movie scores are done !!! 🤠👍😎
i remember in an interview with clint he said one of his spaghetti westerns they lost all the audio and the script after filming in starting editing it a couple years after filming and the director nor the rest of the crew remembered which movie it was (since it was alot of the same people on each one) so they had to reinvent the movie putting together shots and dubs based on what they could figure out to be the plot of the movie they filmed.
"manco" in spanish means one handed, someone who lacks of one hand, that's why during the whole movie Clint usually uses only one hand to shoot and even fight
A classic spaghetti western comedy is "They Call Me Trinity." It's no "Blazing Saddles," but it was referenced in "Blazing Saddles." Looking forward to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
You guys are on the right track. If you want the ultimate man with no name, Watch Cint's "High Plains Drifter". You could paint the town red with this one.
"Manco" is Spanish for one-armed--so not his real name, no. It's a reference to how he keeps his right hand on his pistol and only fights with his left arm in his introductory scene.
Leone shot these movies silent and put all the sounds in during post-production. You can really see it in this movie with the pocket watch chime. Of the three movies this is my favorite story. The third is more epic but this really has the more personal story that's revealed slowly over the course of the movie. Well done by Leone. Thanks for reacting. Other than the series Deadwood, nothing current matches anything close to the grittiness of these movies. Nothing digital, all practical. You can feel the difference.
That riding you said that was incredible, as Monco comes up to the band as they are trying to take apart the safe, was Eastwood’s riding double. Only the dismount was Clint. Eastwood did not like riding, couldn’t do it and…was allergic to horses! This is confirmed. He used a riding double where ever it wasn’t a tight shot.
These films were all shot “MOS” meaning without sound. Actors spoke their own language on set with ALL dialogue being looped. The Foley was played hot and the FX played big giving them their unique primitive sound which I am a big fan of. Before retiring I was a feature film sound editor/designer for over 30 years and would have loved to have worked on one of these wacky sound jobs.
I was confused too since they used the same actor for the bad guy, but yeah the Dollar Trilogy aren't really sequels. It's like a story being told 3 times differently.
So happy yall are doing these!! Clint’s films are such comfort movies for me because of my dad. Might I suggest Pale Rider, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Hang ‘Em High, Two Mules for Sister Sarah and Unforgiven! All fantastic Westerns! John Wayne also has fantastic films that feature Dean Martin in them as well. Rio Bravo, McClintock and The Cowboys are fantastic and I hope you check them out as well! So excited for The Good The Bad And The Ugly reaction!!!
The best "Spaghetti Western" ever made is Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" starring Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Jack Elam
Great reaction. I think this is the best of the trilogy and one of the greatest westerns ever. The three movies are stand alone but use some of the same actors.
Don't know of any one else has mentioned these Clint Eastwood western movies yet. but look into watching, Hang 'Em High, Pale Rider and Unforgiven. Those are pretty good movies as well.
Manco means someone who can only use one hand in Spanish, it is a nickname given to "no name" because he only uses one hand for everything so he can keep the other on his gun
Next in this series is of course "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". A great watch. There´s a 4th movie to by Leone and Morricone as well called "Once Upon a Time in The West". A cinematic masterpiece, and it might be the best of the 4 movies.
"For a Few Dollars More": The first step on the road to international stardom of Lee Van Cleef, who could play a hero or villain with ease.;) His "Colonel Douglas Mortimer" is a complete character, the master bounty hunter with impressive tools.
1973 Colt SAA [ Single Action Army ] .45 caliber with detachable stock. Also available for the 1851 colt navy [ 36 caliber] Colt Army 1860 [ .44 caliber] and Remington 1858 New Army [44 caliber.] A popular item in that time period where you may want a short Carbine type rifle, but prefered more than one shot before Henry's and Winchesters became common. The Spencer was still army issue and not available on the civilian market at the time.
Something that was mentioned was that none of the characters are the same in the movies. The reason why they referred to them as a trilogy is that they shared several things in common such as their westerns and actors and the director. They also just call it the Dollar trilogy because the first two used the word dollars in the title so they just called it the Dollar trilogy. Their not really connected in story. It’s not usually mentioned at first as not to spoil it but after you get into the second movie then it has to mentioned because the same actors show up from the other movies that were characters that were killed in the previous movies. The process of dubbing is also the way that they added the sound effects. Again this was the way older movies were made in the early days of movies. Even though by this time it wasn’t really done in Hollywood as much anymore it was still the way most foreign countries were making films. This was just the way it was for some time now everyone has gotten the same stuff so it’s not really done that way anymore.
Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are NOT a trilogy. Sergio Leone directed them all, and Clint Eastwood played the main character in each (and one of them had a proper name, hence the 'Man With No Name' thing), but the stories have nothing to do with each other.
Gentlemen, Eastwood had a name in all of the "the Man With No Name Trilogy "....in A Fistful it was actually Joe, in For a Few...it's Manco,and in Good,Bad and Ugly it's also Joe. Each of the other actors is different from the other movie except Eastwood, who played the same character(the Man With No Name). The reason why I think it was called this is that his never name is used in movies. Of three American actors, Clint is the only one alive.
What are the greates westerns of all time?
You should try the first ever oscar best picture winning western movie unforgiven. Clint Eastwood and gene Hackman both won Oscar’s for that movie
Once Upon on a Time in the West is great too. Once again iconic Leone + Morricone duo, but Clint Eastwood turned down main role, so Charles Bronson played it instead. Claudia Cardinale is gorgeous there.

Another Clint Eastwood classic, my personal favorite movie of all time, and a hell of a western is The Outlaw Josey Wales, another good western is Tombstone.
Another vote for Once upon a time in the west.
Great movie with amazing actors and one of the best western scores ever.
Lee Van Cleef is also in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but he plays a different character, so don't be confused about that.
He was on rifle man a lot also
I remember watching Chuck Connors in 'The Rifleman' and 'Branded'. @@returnofbillyjack

Mine too. It was also the first Leone-Western I ever saw.
they filmed in spain the sets are still there you can visit them
First time I saw this I was surprised how dark the storyline turned. It was cool seeing Lee Van Cleef playing this type of character
This one's personally my favorite of the trilogy!! Clint and Lee are both legends in this film!!
It fascinates me how Sergio's skill and artistry improves by leaps with each film in this series. GBU is my favorite of the trilogy, but "Once Upon aTime in the West" is a must-watch. I consider it the logical conclusion to the series.
And after that come the culmination of them all, “Once Upon a Time in The West”.
Can't wait for when you watch The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. Morricone's score in that movie is a masterpiece.
Thank you for a great reaction to this classic!

If these movies are getting you in the mood for some more Clint Eastwood, I highly recommend Where Eagles Dare, Kelly's Heroes or Dirty Harry.
And The Eiger Sanction.
The bad guy character is different from fistful of dollars. They got the same actor to play both
Understandable, Gian Maria Volontè is fantastic in the role(s).
Yeah, he was phenomenal. His politics were very left wing so he didn’t have the career he should have had but he did alright.

this is my fav of them all. first watched it in the 80s and it never gets old. they were our tarantino movies of the day
Pale Rider is a great Clint movie too...🔥🔥🔥

I'm glad you guys are enjoying these films so much, And the score.
You should check out "High Plains Drifter"...Clint goes weird, and thats all I'll say.
You guys are on the right track. If you want the ultimate man with no name, Watch Cint's "High Plains Drifter". You could paint the town red with this one.
" Why don't you come back in about 10 minutes, I generally smoke after I eat".

"Manco" is Spanish for one-armed--so not his real name, no. It's a reference to how he keeps his right hand on his pistol and only fights with his left arm in his introductory scene.
But this is an Italian movie and in Italian, "manco" means "mangled." It refers to his right hand being crushed by Chico at the end of "Fistful."
about time these guys are doing so called classic westerns
Leone shot these movies silent and put all the sounds in during post-production. You can really see it in this movie with the pocket watch chime. Of the three movies this is my favorite story. The third is more epic but this really has the more personal story that's revealed slowly over the course of the movie. Well done by Leone. Thanks for reacting. Other than the series Deadwood, nothing current matches anything close to the grittiness of these movies. Nothing digital, all practical. You can feel the difference.
Produced by Italy, filmed in Spain.
The next one is even better!
In all three movies there are a lot of the same actors but they are different people
awesome reaction guys to a CLASSIC dudes 😇
One word: "Bravo."
That riding you said that was incredible, as Monco comes up to the band as they are trying to take apart the safe, was Eastwood’s riding double. Only the dismount was Clint. Eastwood did not like riding, couldn’t do it and…was allergic to horses! This is confirmed. He used a riding double where ever it wasn’t a tight shot.

Clint looks cool and all, but it is Lee Van Cleef who steals the show for this one …
Thé colonel ❤❤
The first movie is Clint's. This one is Lee Van Cleef's. The third movie is Eli Wallach's.
@@kevinkuenn5733 Agree!!👍

Joe, manco ,blondie the man with no name has a name in each movie.
Awesome reaction. Thanks!
You do realize that Gian Maria Volonte who played Indio also played Ramon in A Fistful of Dollars.
After "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" do "Once Upon a Time in the West" by Sergio Leone too, you'll be blown away
The gunfight at the end is incredible!
Lol... Clint Eastwood marathon ongoing at the moment... Saw this few days ago :)
I love Lee Van Cleef!
In short…yes this is the best one 😊
Indio isn't the same villain as in 'A Fistful of Dollars". Just the same actor.
This is good but good bad & ugly is my favorite Western of all time
Clint Eastwood is the best American actor, star, whatever…brilliant filmmaker, director…and most importantly, a legendary man in real life
Filmed in Spain, Italian production, director, actors.
In an interview, I heard Clint say that those cigars were terrible. They nauseated him and at times, he nearly vomited from them.
All three films got a perfect soundtrack but this one is my personal favorite ❤
Great Italian movies!!!
Great western duo Eastwood and Cleef.
There was a dance tune made from those chimes i.e., "Gunman" 187 Lockdown.
I think this is the best showdown of the trilogy.
After the good the bad and the ugly, you might like Where Eagles Dare, Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton, WW2 adventure
Interiors filmed in Italy, exteriors filmed in Almeria, Spain.
Don't know of any one else has mentioned these Clint Eastwood western movies yet. but look into watching, Hang 'Em High, Pale Rider and Unforgiven. Those are pretty good movies as well.
You should watch once upon a time in the west. Its legendary movie :)
Sergio Leone was getting better with every movie. So don't forget to also watch Once Upon A Time In The West ;-)
great job lads
While on Spaghetti Westerns, you should check out "They Call Me Trinity", "Trinity is Still My Name" and (no so spaghetti) "My Name is Nobody".
Manco means someone who can only use one hand in Spanish, it is a nickname given to "no name" because he only uses one hand for everything so he can keep the other on his gun
Great Reaction 👍👍👍👍, Can't wait for TGB&U
Unforgiven (1992) please and thank you
Its hard for me to pick my top 3 Eastwood Westerns its Good Bad and Ugly and Outlaw Josie Wales but My 3rd is Tie between Unforgiven and Pale Rider
Also be sure to check out "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Joe Kidd".
My favorite in the trilogy. Leone's masterpiece though is Once Upon a Time in the West.
Next in this series is of course "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". A great watch. There´s a 4th movie to by Leone and Morricone as well called "Once Upon a Time in The West". A cinematic masterpiece, and it might be the best of the 4 movies.
"For a Few Dollars More": The first step on the road to international stardom of Lee Van Cleef, who could play a hero or villain with ease.;) His "Colonel Douglas Mortimer" is a complete character, the master bounty hunter with impressive tools.
1973 Colt SAA [ Single Action Army ] .45 caliber with detachable stock. Also available for the 1851 colt navy [ 36 caliber] Colt Army 1860 [ .44 caliber] and Remington 1858 New Army [44 caliber.] A popular item in that time period where you may want a short Carbine type rifle, but prefered more than one shot before Henry's and Winchesters became common. The Spencer was still army issue and not available on the civilian market at the time.
Something that was mentioned was that none of the characters are the same in the movies. The reason why they referred to them as a trilogy is that they shared several things in common such as their westerns and actors and the director. They also just call it the Dollar trilogy because the first two used the word dollars in the title so they just called it the Dollar trilogy. Their not really connected in story. It’s not usually mentioned at first as not to spoil it but after you get into the second movie then it has to mentioned because the same actors show up from the other movies that were characters that were killed in the previous movies. The process of dubbing is also the way that they added the sound effects. Again this was the way older movies were made in the early days of movies. Even though by this time it wasn’t really done in Hollywood as much anymore it was still the way most foreign countries were making films. This was just the way it was for some time now everyone has gotten the same stuff so it’s not really done that way anymore.
OFC this sounds like Knights of Cydonia, that song was inspired by the these movies.
In Almeria (Spain). This movie
High plains drifter if you want something similar, or treasure of sierra madre
Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are NOT a trilogy. Sergio Leone directed them all, and Clint Eastwood played the main character in each (and one of them had a proper name, hence the 'Man With No Name' thing), but the stories have nothing to do with each other.
Sergio leone is just amazing
About bounty hunters in the real life Old West, they would bring the head in: they wouldn't drag the whole body around.
Gentlemen, Eastwood had a name in all of the "the Man With No Name Trilogy "....in A Fistful it was actually Joe, in For a Few...it's Manco,and in Good,Bad and Ugly it's also Joe. Each of the other actors is different from the other movie except Eastwood, who played the same character(the Man With No Name). The reason why I think it was called this is that his never name is used in movies. Of three American actors, Clint is the only one alive.
Two more in this genre are once upon a time in the west. And my name is nobody
please react to once upon a time in the west ,,, this is another masterpiece , the soundtrack is legend, and good cinematography
Not a huge fan of westerns, but Leone's a legend. Plus Klaus Kinski is in this one. Can't go wrong.
