One of Mr Leones most underrated films in my humble opinion. A true cinematic masterpiece. Thank you Mr Leone and Mr Morricone (RIP) ❤🤲
Agree💯
I think it is more "politically sensitive"... Ireland, Mexico... so maybe more complicate than a standard "cowboy" movie
@@stefanobonaiuti9731Most Italian Westerns made up till that point from 1966 onwards were very political and mostly set during the Mexican revolution.
❤
Every movie you see with Ennio Morricone's music makes you feel like you've been on an amazing adventure.
So true!
Rest In Peace to the great Ennio Morricone
🤪
Because usually you have! :D
Or in some kind of a dream.
My Grandad was a Freedom Fighter in the 1920s. Proud of him to this day.
"I don't judge you, Villega. I did that only once in my life."
Every Year in Music Playlists very sad when he said that, I wonder if Vilega knew about John's past. About his best friend who turned rat
unlikely. if he knew, he would have referred to that past himself during the train scene. Newspapers may have spread the name of the murdered person, but not the "best friend turned rat" thing (as nobody knew he was a rat).
Yeah thanks ;)
on ne me la pas dis .
je t'ai vu .
Des silences ds ce film délicieux, chargés démotions , et des dialogues juste qd il en faut .
Bref , la perfection , un chef d'oeuvre .
Et james Coburn avait , ce que j'appelle une gueule exeptionnelle , inoubliable .
Et une expression stoique a souhait .
Bref ,Le charisme , quoi ....
c'est qd même , incroyable , c'est le seul film que je me refais régulièrement depuis sa sortie , sans jamais me lasser , c'est le seul .
Mais au fond de moi , je suis incapable d'expliquer pourquoi , j'ai cherché , je n'ai pas encore trouvé .
Try to film brotherhood, betrayal, colonization, and heroism in one scene, and then add to it a lyricism that makes you want to soar about the stars. Thank you Mr Leone and Morricone.
Exactly 💯 maestro 💛🌻 and Sergio 💛🌻
And the most important thing about this scene: Humanity
I wish I could explain it half as well as you did.
agree- perfect sumation
agree totally. Often Leone overstretched and underscored his scenes, milking emotion and tension (which i love) - this one has an economy and precision (and complexity) that serves Coburn / films back story perfectly. And to be honest, one of the best renderings of Irish history on film.
The intensity of Coburns face is incredible when he is firing. The contemplation, the decision
Absolutely...
Emperor's clothes.
Steiger and Coburn are majestic in this film
I have always seen this as part of Coburns sadness in the film where everything he does now doesnt matter because of what he did back in Ireland, His life has been changed by personal loss .
@Evan Hodge Yaa i thats it ,i think the character is named John Mallory.
Ahh to be sure, the good ol yanks love the Irish so they do, big bad brits boooo
I also like how the character of John Mallory never opens up to anyone of what exactly happened back in Ireland…
Certainly an underrated film. As the years progress, Leone and Morricone will become even more appreciated.
In 50 years, they'll be even more of a genius since not one youth could grasp their film making ability.
And me, I saw it in a drive-in as an child, and mostly reacted to the explosions.
I doubt that todays generation gives a shot about it, there’s no homosexuals or men in dresses.
This is when Italians made films about the Ra, way ahead of its time! 🇮🇹🇮🇪! What a theme! Forza Morriconi!
@Evan Hodge It's not a stupid comment, it's his opinion and as Leone fan I agree. YOURS is a stupid reply!
Ennio's passing has left us all orphans but what a legacy! What ever film score the man turned it to pure gold!
I miss Sergio Leone every day... what a genious this guy was, over his time.
Pure legend.
Every day. Maybe you need a life

@@anthonykelly3175 really. Miss your deceased parents every day before Sergio Leone.
@@anthonykelly3175 don't be like that
The genius of this movie is that it’s well over 2 hours long. Scenes with slow motion acting without dialogue. Lingering on facial expressions with surreal music making things seem dream like, almost drug like. The moment dragged out, the passions and the emotions lingering, the realisation of the betrayal and the last seconds of their close friendship come to a violent close. Pull a trigger and you kill two people... John on the run from the authorities often turns to this haunting memory and the surreal one of them together both after the affections of a young woman. The parallels of the two revolutions play out in the awkward friendship with the Mexican bandit. Just stunning performances throughout and an unbeatable score.
Actual Pub in Dublin ,been in there, still looks more or less the same!
Rod Stieger was present for the pub scene, even though he wasn't in it.
Perfect..!!
Was there
Me too
Toners. Great pub.
An argument can be made that, in the history of the movies, this was the greatest soundtrack ever.
Jay Quintana listen to companeros. or the great silence!
+Jay Quintana Morricone's work 1964-71 is off the scale...my own favourite is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly but I would never argue with anyone who chooses Giu La Testa (Fistful of Dynamite)...absolutely sublime score...Faccia a Faccia (Face To Face) is also worth checking out
It is awesome.One day I hope to see that pub , Toners in Dublin. Sergio Leone and Morricone..a most fine blend.
You really can't beat A Thin Red Line....
I'd go along with that & it is my favourite Leone & Morricone collaboration...
A moment of weakness and selfishness captured perfectly.
I know that even the longer version of the movie (the 2,5 hour version) still had gaping holes in the story, material left on the cutting room floor. I've wondered if that material still exists. If it does I wish someone qualified would do an ultimate edition with all the material added back in for a complete picture.
I mean if getting everyone together and possibly getting every single hand of footage we can possibly all do it
I would love to see the deleted scenes of this movie… I think it was originally almost 4 hours long. The most famous deleted scene was Dr. Villega’s torture by Gunter Ruiz and his officers.
Great camera shot with reflection in mirror. Coburn's face glaring at him, as if to say, "Will you betray me or not?"
you know I never understood why this film didn't get the same recognition that once upon a time in the west did. it is just as profound. If 'west' was a meditation on business and capitalism and the corruption that comes with it, 'dynamite' is a meditation on revolution and its dark side. I love this film, btw it is now free on youtube.
Possibly the title of the American release. I think Once upon a time The Revolution is the best title for this film…
Still Listening to this.....One of my best movies of all Time (Sergio Leone and Ennio Morrricone partnership is the best ever)
Lyrical, transcendent and yet as straightforward as they come. Men at their best and their worst in 3 minutes time, you can'tbeat that.
One of Morricone's greatest sound tracks and one great film. Up the Irish!
Bugger the Irish!!
@@mattyallen3396 bravely spoken
James Coburn, the best.
My favourite film scene of all time.
Saying with respect to you and this great scene. Once upon a time in the west has a better one at the end. Promise.
It destroys you to hate someone you love. But sometimes it feels like the only way to stop remembering them.
Yes… it broke his heart that he killed Shaun… but his heart was broken first by his betrayal
That's poignantly deep and saddening but a portal to possible reconciliation.

And so…it really comes down to a very basic choice that we have to make as a civilization:

I hear this in my head when I drink my coffee at 7.00 am.
Me too i listen to it every morning when i drink my coffee with milk ..and it just a great way to begin your day ❤️
Great way to start your day.
Tesla very cool
Kind of sums up the whole Irish troubles in a personal way.
I lived threw them terrible people I knew murdered
The music makes me wanna cry. I was a kid when I saw this movie with my little brother .
I called him siong siong after this movie.
this music indeed is for crying . this is 1910, Irishman lost his country, IRA was not even formed - it was later on that IRA became full scale organization
(remember the I.R.A flag in his motorcycle), his best friend was murdered by him....essence of everything is ''there was a time i believed in many things. the only thing i believe now is dynamite'' For me Sean was a tragic man with a deathwish - he came to Mexico to die because he wasnt able to continue with life of any kind. and its clearly he came to Mexico with some ideals, it wasnt for the money, he was a boyscout, a youngturk whose plans went to hell
I would say it's rather about 1905. Sean looks much older in the present timeline. he came to Mexico because he had to flee Ireland after killing those Tommies. I'd say he still wasn't disappointed in the revolution at the time (that will happen later, especially after Juan's speech) but he was disillusioned about his own role in it, not wanting to kill any more people close to him and possibly deeming himself unworthy to take part in revolutionary activities anymore. and yes, his deathwish is manifest even at the beginning when he's so careless about carrying dynamite and nitro on himself.
No its 1913. John went prematurely grey. Read the book.His name Is John, read the dispatch in the paper that Juan holds. No London paper would get his name wrong for an L100 ($250) bounty, which was 8 months' wages in 1913,.
No. 1813. He went prematurely grey. Read the book./
dan smith....dude, there weren't motor-cycles, or probably even dynamite, in 1813....this was based around the 1910's I reckon.
❤❤❤
Coburn, in one of the most intense scenes of the film. His pointed look, reflected in the mirror, seemed to anticipate all the action..
For his character as a freedom figher..and explosives expert in Ireland ...when you see Brit Soldiers come to a bar and get a prisioner beaten up to point out other freedom fighters ...you Have to have eyes in the back of your head..THAT WAS A REALITY OF LIFE THEN...
@@niamhpattison6627 , yes that was!
Yes I saw hat too!
Everybody is waiting their turn to get rounded up,but not Mr Coburn he takes care of business!!! This is my favorite scene in my favorite movie with my favorite actor. It would be a dream come true to visit Dublin and to visit Toners and to have a pint in the same spot as Mr Coburn!!!!
Best actor ever James Coburn
What's the actor's name killed by James Coburn?
@@fariasfilho8260 He was a New Zealand actor by the name of David Warbeck.
There’s something just magical in this scene
The way he sees his friends in the mirror while the divine music plays
Damn, why the soundtrack is so ultra-magical and absolute surreal, it's like i almost immediately fallen asleep and feel nostalgic
I do love this movie, not your average western, very moving at times and a great cast 😎
incredible authenthic scene , toners pub dublin brilliant acting and soundtrack- thanks for uploading
For this movie and soundtrack, only a word: MASTERPIECE
He aimed right for the mole on his forehead.
That’s a drop of blood.

Here's a 🍷 Drink to all the beautiful Irish people from your Mexican cousins!
Long live The Irish

One of my very favorite films, it’s flawed but brilliant and ambitious intellectually and yet has rollicking good action sequences and some humor. Steiger gets maligned for his performance here but it is no bigger than Wallach’s performance in TGBU. I prefer Steiger. Gorgeous music by the maestro Morricone.
What a music! It's a fable on the Irish green! It's a melting melody!
Nolan was a warrior too. But he broke. He couldn't stand torture. When John is facing him, Nolan understands: the only thing left for him after betraying his cause, his country, his honor, is death. At 2:30 he nods: do it. John does his friend the last favor and shoots him dead.
Fuck Nolan ,, Judas bastard😐
Not Leone's best film but this scene is one of the greatest things he ever did. There are flashes of his genius throughout this film.
For me it's the second behind Once Upon a Time in America.
@@TheMusterion76 it’s easily in my top 3
A truly beautiful scene from an absolute masterpiece from the greatest filmmaker of all time
There is nothing beautiful about murder!
@@khankrum1you're a fool, I'm talking about the filming, direction and musical score... It isn't a real event... Grow up
@@khankrum1get a life you sad git
Ce regard de James Coburn sans la moustache dans le miroir... tellement marquant et inoubliable depuis l'enfance, avec la musique de Morricone !
Tu as raison! C'est quelque chose d'incroyable! Cette scène,vue des dizaines de fois,me donne des frissons, et les larmes montent.
I was once told the Nolan/Zimmer partnership is the best, my response was; have you ever heard of Leone/Morricone? RIP legends
This movie was one of my favorite movies. This movie is clearly a classic…
Amazing film , so underrated .
Excellent scene of a Leone's masterpiece. Wonderful music and Coburn
Leone always draws you towards the actors' eyes - always good to watch his stuff
I drank there throughout the 70's and early 80's...never knew they filmed that scene there.... I still pop in whenever I'm in town.
Grim. So so cool
The pub's turkey pot pie... When served fresh ... Was heavenly.
Many years ago I would watch this film because I was a huge Coburn fan, few actors had his screen presence then I became captivated by Steiger's performance. Now with you tube, whenever I am feeling melancholy, I play it for the soundtrack. Time makes many films become corny and dated especially the 70's but this film has an offbeat story and a soundtrack that has an infinite shelf life, one of the greatest soundtracks EVER.! Thanks for putting this out there. Ennio Morricone how did he see the world?
James Coburn turned down the Clint Eastwood part in the Dollar trilogy!
Jimmy O. 100 percent agree
@@lawrencesprau1935 Because Coburn was a BIG STAR at that time and could not take risks and entrust himself to an unknown director.
Instead, Clint Eastwood was an unknown actor who had nothing to lose. You can't even say that by accepting this role, Clint didn't take a risk, he just chose.
sometimes i cant never believe that James Coburn ever excisted, this men is dynamite. From all "charsimatic' actors. He was the Best!
I too. I watch old westerns like Gunsmke and Wyatt just to see Coburn.
Yes, it's Toner's Pub. I've been in there and I did exactly what W B Yeats did when he visited Toner's, namely order a sherry and I drank it in the snug and then left. When I visited it I didn't know about the association with A Fistful of Dynamite.
Cool, I'd like to go to Ireland n see where Game of Thrones is shot and this pub i never knew was a real place.
'I have seen the pub, now please take me home.'
Was in there a few years ago on a stag party. I was on my third pint of Guinness before I realised where I was!
Marvellous.
Truly breathtaking scence, music, the pain of betrayal, the retribution. Fucking brilliant
The British police beat him up and made him rat out his buddy. Climactic scene here.
inbredagogo and they both loved the same girl...best film of all times
No, but maybe thats what made John kill him at the pub when he snitched. He did let the Doc off when he snitched
Jacinto Martinez That's an interpretation some people like to give to these flashbacks. On the other hand, you could also argue that the woman was there to show how close these friends were, they even shared the same girlfriend. Still, John was capable of killing his best friend due to his ideals. It's a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his life. By the time he's about to kill the doctor he realizes he lost everything he ever cared about to the revolutions he was involved with. He no longer believes in his ideals, so he decides to let the doctor live.
Sandro Algra Barradas I like your interpretation better than mine....Hey do you know if they ever found more footage for the movie between the scene when John blows up the stagecoach and the scene where Juan kills the German and the captain?
Jacinto Martinez I've been searching for those scenes actively. As far as I know, only set photos have been made available. Same goes for another deleted scene where the doctor is being tortured. There are some rumours about other deleted scenes.
I hope Andrea Leone (Sergio's son) would make the decision to restore this movie some day, like they did with Once Upon a Time in America. That is if they find the original scenes. The current releases in English also have a few flaws, like the wrong music cues being used for certain scenes. The Italian Blu-Ray is so far the most complete release we know.
Still as emotionally powerful in imagery & music today as it was when it was first released & one of my favourite Leone & Morricone collaborations...
A cult classic if ever there was one...
.....
The Rod Steiger James Coburn movie released twice once as Duck You Sucker and the second time around as FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE.What a classic sound track!!
This scene takes my breath away every time I see it ❤️
This movie is such a complete masterpiece!
THAT SILENT NOD KNOWING WHAT WAS COMING NEXT ALWAYS GRABS AT MY HEART, HE KNEW HE BETRAYED HIS BEST FRIEND
he knew that he betrayed him but the nod was for thanks for helping me out and killing the guards but he never suspected that coburn was going to kill him next, he simply thought that coburn was still on his side!!
@@DeejayNally Not Guards...Brit Soldiers on Irish soil. Betray the cause and you die. That was how things were.
@@DeejayNally Fat chance! He knew he was a traitor of the revolution and knew what came next. He doesn't run, or cower, or try to talk to him at all. He sees the pain and indecision in Johnny's eyes. The nod is to let John know that it's okay to do what must be done.
That is one hell of a powerful scene.
Great movie - remember seeing it in the theatre when I was a kid. A top James Coburn and this was one of the most poignant scenes.
Ennio Marricone is the modern equivalent of Mozart.
The close up scene of the stagecoach passengers eating is about as revolting as it gets in film .
They are glutens. Sergio masterfully conveyed their pigness
la musica di Morricone è sempre e resterà sempre un incanto per l eternità è infinita

This is a great scene and makes one wonder what a great movie there could of been if a whole movie was set against the Irish War of Independence 1919-1921. You could have had 2 movies with James Coburn fighting against the British in the first one and then obviously his character going to take part in the Mexican revolution. What is remarkable about this scene is that it captures the atmosphere of the Irish War if Independence.
Except it’s hinted that Coburn ratted his friend out of jealousy and then killed him.
@@ghostviggen No you got it wrong. In the scene it shows Coburns friend/comrade obviously showing the marks of being tortured or beaten up by the British to extract information. Then obviously after breaking down under interrogation he has gone to the pub with his captors to identify Coburns chatacter as member of the Irish Republican Army.
The detail to uniform is brilliant. Obviously it shows British soldiers and the man in uniform with the spiked helmet is a member of the DMP(Dublin Metropolitan Police).
@@johnroche7541 No that’s what you get from the first viewing. But when you get the last scene there is a girl involved. And Coburn could very well have given up his friend to the British. The movie doesn’t imply it directly just subtly.
@@ghostviggen It is the other way round.
Such an awesome soundtrack
I seriously have to get this soundtrack, it's so groovy
+FloydPink23 It used to be like that, but some years ago an expanded soundtrack was released with almost the entire score: www.dustygroove.com/item/486320/Ennio+Morricone:Giu+La+Testa+(Duck+You+Sucker)+(expanded+2CD+edition)
i lived in northern Ireland and i went to this pub its still exactly the same i looked at them mirrors and stud in the same spot as the great man was
Oh really? 🤣 I live in Belfast, what pub do you _think_ this is? 🤣🤣

He did know he would be next and there was no point running...
He did not shoot his friend in the temple but in his Pimple. Great Movie and has a Cracking soundtrack.
my favourite Leone film and a fantastic scene
Une des plus belles scènes du cinéma .
i have just been to this pub it is just the same i stud were the great man stud on the very spot and fill my dream of doing this they have the original film poster in the pud in the bear garden in the back it sent chills down my spine thank you to the barman who showed me the spot thank you Dublin is so very beautiful place
Cool !
Ian. What a moment
Beautiful scene & music, favourite film!
James Coburn , restera un des mes acteur préféré . Son plus rôle pour moi c'est lorsqu' il interprète le lieutenant allemand Steiner dans Iron cross .
This is a great underestimated movie that was hacked up by the censors. Originally 157 minutes hacked by almost 25 minutes, there is now special editions that have restored the film to near full. Unfortunatly, there was an execution scenes that was cut but the footage no longer exists. The DVD /Blu ray version with the original title Duck you sucker are the best by far.
Happened to Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America too
A lot of Hollywood just didnt understand Leones movies, as was said in a documentry, "Leone shot long scens but never irrelevant scens".The US censors just wanted to speed up the action.
wow!!!!!!!!!une des plus belle et romantique musique et quelle scene wow!!!!!!!!!
If James Coburb stares at you like this you shit your pants
I remember sneeking into the theater to see this
they didnt show the whole scene in my version, they just showed him shooting everyone. it made the whole movie really confusing like the parts with the doctor.
ra bA John/Sean killed his friend become he sold him out to the British soldiers. With regards to the doctor John/Sean witnessed him selling out the people who he was working with in the lineup in the rain. He decided not to kill the doctor because he was haunted with the memory of killing his friend
Very underrated film.
Brilliant scene! Encapsulated the whole Irish fight for freedom. Ce'ad Mile Fa'ilte. Co Donegal.
James Coburn a legend
1:04 ladies and gentleman Edda Dell'Orso...
Yes absolutely the song is a haunting melody
Coburn was pure class 🙏
There's only one title for this Great Film from the Maestro of Cinema "Once Upon a Time, The Revolution". RIP Maestros Leone and Morricone never has movie making needed its Maestros like it does now!!!
To this day I'm not sure how to interpret Warbeck's character choice for after the cops are shot. I can't tell if he WANTED James Coburn to shoot him because he felt guilty, or if he thought for a moment that Coburn was going to free him now that the cops were dead. Open to your interpretation.
I think it's the former. Coburn paused there, no vengeance in his eyes, instead his look is saying: "I don't care if you did it, we're still friends, I forgive you" and his friend is saying with his eyes "But I can't forgive myself" and giving this little nod saying "Do what you must".
@@FlymanMS Don't forget that Nolan had also stolen John's girl as we see in the other flashbacks. I'm sure John had some rage over that betrayal as well.
Betraying the cause is a death sentence.... Coburn was obviously hesitant to shoot him, but Warbeck knew it had to be done.
They Were NOT POLICE...Brit Soldiers ..ENFORCING British law in a foreign country. John..Coburns character had to shoot him...once a FREEDOM FIGHTER betrayed the cause and his peers...he had to go. No option. The friend, the betrayer was happy the Brit Soldiers were dead..and maybe forgiveness for him..but you see in Coburns eyes he has no choice...in those days betrayal to the Brits WAS A DEATH PENALTY.
@@justaddressmeasking6625 Defo...you got it right..its hard for people to understand..the hesitation was the friendship...but the pledge to the Free Ireland was greater. It was also the reality..sadly I wish people realised that still now...I know first hand from my grandparents and parents stories.
So true of Ireland. Never grass.
1:55 How cool is this guy? The men on either side of him have just been shot dead and he's just standing there with his hands in his pockets!
If you were Irish you would know ...the friend thought he would'nt shoot him ..he thinks the Brit soldiers are the only ones to be shot...but because he betrayed his friend and the cause ..a Free Ireland...Coburns character had no choice but to shoot him..it was standard practice ..friend or not...betray a Free Ireland and your fellow freedom fighters then you die...but they were friends regrets are inevitable and this was part of Coburns dying scene so looking back at what he did...As an Irishwoman seeing British soldiers in an irish bar ordering irish people around makes me sick...A different time with brave men and women never forgotten.
@@niamhpattison6627 Exactly. He had been betrayed so he had to shoot him.
Being Irish has got nothing to do with it.
