The best scenes are this one, the one where the book with the patriotic title is thrown away, and the final one where the fans mourn when John blows himself up. I think this is the best macaroni western movie ever made.
James Coburn and Rod Steiger reprising the chemistry that Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach created in "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly", under Sergio Leone's direction. And doing a great job of it.
I saw this movie twice, with two different titles. One was Fist full of Dynamite and the other Duck You Sucker, enjoyed it both times. Once was in USA and the other was in Australia.
It was also released in some European areas under the title Once Upon a Time...The Revolution as it was actually the third movie in the Once Upon a Time trilogy.
I'm 52 & saw this classic as a kid. Also, I'm Irish, so it means something more for me. I always found the Sean Sean piece of music so haunting & it stayed with me throughout my life
Loved this movie..corbin did alot of good movies but thus will allways be my fav...i guess the music was about him thinking of his love while fighting..
In the same period in Italy a similar war for reunion of Italy in 1860 was fought between northern and southern. Also from Ireland catholics men fight for pope and southern Italy. Read the book italian Revolution from o'Clary.
I was thinking the same thing about the horses and a bit concerned about broken legs or at least some injuries as they tumbled and rolled down that Hill I'm sure there were some injuries hopefully it was not too bad.
I love this movie I watched 6 times in one weekend in the 70’s when it came out even with the technical errors it was a great movie. Who knew they had MG 42’s in 1916?
This is a great scene from an awesome movie - I first saw it with my dad on the big screen when I was 10 or so. It made a hell of an impression on me, as it would at that age - still remember the huge ears on that army commander for some reason.
James Coburn was one of the most gentlemanly people anyone could meet. A couple of friends met him in a bar in a Montreal hotel many years ago. It was around 2am and the barman wanted to close the bar. James Coburn and my two friends were the only people left, then James Coburn walked over to my friends and asked them if they wanted another drink. Needless to say they did, so Coburn told the barman that he and his friends wanted more drinks. They sat and talked for more than an hour about everything and nothing, just like old friends. Next morning at breakfast James Coburn came over to their table and asked them if they were OK, thanked them for an enjoyable evening and told them to have a good day. A nice gentleman.
As far as I could tell- The Maxim? is water cooled, but it wasn't connected, it only fired one 250rd belt. The MG42 would of had its belts linked together, rate of fire about 1300rpm. I once watched an M60 go through 600rds in 90sec., it was dull red & still working fine (night shoot, I linked the belts up & timed him).
@@t_7692 You are most likely right... As we all know these Hollywood smegheads don't know anything about guns... It even got a few people killed on set over the years and even recently and it will land herr Baldwin in jail and in a shitload of financial difficulties...
@@vinsblack2 Aaahh, South Korea, the country that breaks World Trade Organisation Regulations ever day, just to keep fair competition out. My sympathies for you having to drive all the KIAs, the Hyundais, Daewoos and all the other crap.
A forward-looking film, the MG42 was used in the Mexican Civil War twenty years before it was developed. And totally cool how Rod Steiger leans against the hot-shot Maxim MG without getting burned. Leone at his best.
It's a 42 but rate of fire seemed a bit slow. Were they adjustable? The Maxim had no water feed to the cooling jacket & the hole in the end of the barrel didn't look 7.92 to me. After a 250rd belt yes it may have been a bit warm.
@@ron9320 MG42/G3 that gives it different firing rates, 900, 1,200 and 1,500 rounds per minute, which bolt gets put in one is up to the units commander and the doctrine that dictates the particular situation, ie defensive, offensive, ammo supply and barrel change out concerns for the situation. When I read that it made sense because I've noticed over the years that in war footage and even in the movies it seems like you'll see different firing rates from them going from fast to all out silly fast. I guess the different bolts have different weights and that's what changes the firing rate from one to the other.

Man I hate to be a naysayer but it doesn’t look that impressive to me. There have to be better real explosions, particularly with more fire like in Apocalypse Now or something...
If you mean the big fat barrel it's a water cooled Browning or Maxim MG, its full of water to cool the inner barrel. Should be warm but not hot enough to burn.
I think they wanted the cavalry to cluster in the valley behind the bridge before they blew it. The explosions would also daze the surviving enemy and prevent pursuit.

he used the MGs to force the remaining fleeing soldiers to hide under the bridge before he blow it up. maximizing his damage. MGs were just an distraction.
@@sweetpoison5341 Hence my comment..."& save the ammo for cleanup". They could both have been taken out by the cannon in the tank. But hey, it's just a cheap billy bang bang!
@@myredute first of all the convey is too long/massive to fit onto the bridge at once. if you blow it up at first, there would be a good portion of survivors left and MG would have a hard time killing them. if you blow up the "cover", it would just scatter the survivors all over. by shoot first, you will "corral" the survivors into what they thought was a good cover, and then blow up the "cover" in one go. Second, it's hard to pin point 2 very well covered MG over a distance even with modern equipment, you can watch what those ambush videos in Afghan war, it would be much harder for pre-ww2 equipment to be able to "take out" anything in those situation.
@@myredute but I do agree that this is just movie and it's far from reality. In reality, trained soldiers wouldn't just piled into ONE cover, they would spread out and find the nearest cover and return fire. MG at those distance wouldn't have that kind of accuracy either, especially with the way that they are firing (non-stop). One of them ( the guy with Maxim MG doesn't even seem to have been trained properly. They would be lucky if they can hit anything at all in reality.
The one mistake Sean makes is he didn't get the Colonel in the blast. Now the Colonel is a fairly ruthless indivdual before this scene but after... he will stop at nothing to get revenge on Sean and Juan. He'll burn villages, shoot hostages... every action has an equal and opposite reaction and the Colonel's reaction is going to be equally brutal. Imagine for a moment you were a soldier and something like this happened to your unit, the fury and the burning desire for revenge would be horrifying...
MG 42 would indeed be making some carnage, but sadly, it would be drawing massive amounts of fire. Great flick, like all he did. Fine actor, back in the day when it was a true craft.
Army Lesson #49: Don't waste 1,000's of rounds of ammo when the bridge is wired to blow. PS - Put the ear plugs in your ears before you start the attack.
They don't really have any kind of connection except the title (in some markets in which it was called Once Upon a Time.....the Revolution) it is a good movie though very underrated among Leone's works.
Its a great scene in part because at least the sheeting seems mildly realistic - unlike most films where ammo never runs out and is weightless, barrels never heat and need changing or cooling and shooting scenes are so close they could throw rocks at each other - the distances feel about right (good range but not so close they can easily see where you are, rally or flank). Guess the armoured car crew would be looking through a slot wouldn’t see well where its coming from in an old armoured car without some guy knocking on the lid to point and probably getting shot off. By then there’d be almost no one left on foot and you’d have blown the bridge and be moving to a new position to keep them down while you scoot. by the way thats not a Vickers, its a a ww2 german mg42 (an anachronism). Thats a far faster firing gun and doesn’t need two people except to schlep all the ammo. A second person would be a spotter to watch peripherals and would be needed to carry ammo (the gun is heavy enough but this thing can eat +1200 round per minute and at +10g per bullet a few 250 round cans of thats +25kg for less than 15 seconds of full firing) but the second person is not needed to reload. If this was realistic You’d want to be far quicker - hit them at each end of the convoy to drive them onto bridge, blow the bridge and move it to mop up or discourage pursuit or move to a second prepared place. If you stayed as long as he does they’d eventually spot and snipe you down when reloading (very vulnerable during the c 7seconds to reload a belt or change barrel) so he wants to be in a concealed position and to move fast unless he could get them all. Gunners didn’t live long in either Ww1 or 2 for those reasons.
I'll bet it's one of the biggest movie blasts ever filmed! The ground jumped for 500 feet around when it went off! Like the one in "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly" when they dynamited the bridge and a rock almost hit the camera!
@@coopersmill Yeah!!! Hollyweird huh!!! Ever seen inside the box? The rack of the plunger spins a pinion gear on the armature of a generator, like in a wood telephone, faster and faster, and at the bottom of the travel, 2 contacts come together and send a surge down the wire at the peak speed of the generator, to deliver the best voltage! AND........it takes a lot of force to operate it!!!
when i was a teen i wasn't shocked by such scenes, but now, as an adult... i don't know... these calibers... each bullet rips a head, explodes brain, eyes, tears guts, cuts people in half, and kill the horses, also. And these guys, they are sheep, sons taken from their mothers, to fight for something, someone they don't even know or really care. I would... i wouldn't like it. I would feel bad. And yet, so many movies depict killing as a good time. Surely, i would kill if i had to, but... in a situation like that... maybe i would do it, but i would break my teeth tightening my jaw. I would feel it in my Heart, i think.

(9 years, 6 months and 1 day).
Sergio Leone didn't like bridges at all
Yeah but he loved dynamite.
And Shaun reilly despised 'locusts' (soldiers).
Neither does pewdiepie
From the Good the Bad and the Ugly to Fistful of Dynamite
Not even a little bit !
Voice of Edda Dell'Orso...amazing
im just glad none of the horses ever die in these shootouts in the movies
The music is so 60s/ 70s.... very romantic.
Very Morricone...
The music choice for that scene is not what I think people are feeling.
Rewatching this today, what a great OST Morricone did
I didn’t know that they had a German MG-42 from WWII at this time. 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
did Sean fire with MG42 machine gun? lol
It really looked like one right? Maybe just the gun frame...
@@makinbacongreasyagain968 it was a 42 without the stock. obviously wrong for the time but there were a few anomalies. I mean the ira weren't around till 1919 and this 1912. plus the pistol on the train is way wrong too. but no drama. best western ever. and score.
Yes, that was an MG42.
@@clintdavies491 dude i literally was talking about that while watching the movie with my dad
It in theory was an MG15. A WW1 predecessor to the MG42.
James Colburn what a man. ✌️👊
James Coburn is quite a character too.
Like how he cycled from Stalag Luft 3 in north west Poland to Spain in 1944 'Great Escape'
About 3000 miles.
My favorite movie for ever ...if you don't appreciate this movie (if you are a Man )... sorry for you.
I've never seen this movie and somehow I am glad about that.
Real exciting eh?
Where's Clint Eastwood when you need him?
I saw Duck You Sucker as the second film at a drive-in theater.
Sorry for you, maybe you are too much young... Is a great classic.
All those bullets flying through the air and not one horse was killed. Nice shooting.
One of the best westerns of all time. Way better than the Good, Bad and Ugly.
Whats de name of the movies
Leone didn't fuck around with explosions
the machine gun sound effects are awsome.
So was the sound of the bridge detonation, THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!
So wouldn't it have been smarter to blow the bridge with everyone crossing & save all the ammo for cleanup? Just saying!
Kinda thinking that myself...🤷♀️
he used the MGs to force the remaining fleeing soldiers to hide under the bridge before he blow it up. maximizing his damage. MGs were just an distraction.
@@sweetpoison5341 Hence my comment..."& save the ammo for cleanup". They could both have been taken out by the cannon in the tank. But hey, it's just a cheap billy bang bang!
@@myredute first of all the convey is too long/massive to fit onto the bridge at once. if you blow it up at first, there would be a good portion of survivors left and MG would have a hard time killing them. if you blow up the "cover", it would just scatter the survivors all over. by shoot first, you will "corral" the survivors into what they thought was a good cover, and then blow up the "cover" in one go. Second, it's hard to pin point 2 very well covered MG over a distance even with modern equipment, you can watch what those ambush videos in Afghan war, it would be much harder for pre-ww2 equipment to be able to "take out" anything in those situation.
@@myredute but I do agree that this is just movie and it's far from reality. In reality, trained soldiers wouldn't just piled into ONE cover, they would spread out and find the nearest cover and return fire. MG at those distance wouldn't have that kind of accuracy either, especially with the way that they are firing (non-stop). One of them ( the guy with Maxim MG doesn't even seem to have been trained properly. They would be lucky if they can hit anything at all in reality.
The guy in the white shirt his machine gun looks like a German MG42 or MG34 from ww2
Play Hamster Kombat and get easy money!
t.me/Hamster_kombat_bot/start?startapp=kentId6340831383
the sound track for this film is brilliant as well... ( fist full of dynamite )
Rests his hand on the barrel of that .50 cal right after firing an entire box of ammo from it. Right.
Um, not a .50.
@@donscheid97 Ok. A .30 cal. Still would be hot enough to fry his hand.
sprays several hundred machine gun rounds from 2 beltfeds,….then puts in ear protection LOLOL
Thats what made me laugh...he'd be pretty deaf by that point!
After thousand round firing from HMG...still the barrel is not hot...
Its happened in Hollywood / Bollywood movies only
Excellent Movie..... Saw it at the Strand in a little Northeastern town...
When movies were real. Shom shom
Magnifique,inoubliable.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Steiger and Coburn. Great actors and awesome movie too.
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES - EVER !!!
Why does every brainless ass say whatever movie is being reviewed is the best movie ever? Dumb ass people.
@@john2914 This one is really one of the best movies-ever, let's say, in my top 100 list.
The one mistake Sean makes is he didn't get the Colonel in the blast. Now the Colonel is a fairly ruthless indivdual before this scene but after... he will stop at nothing to get revenge on Sean and Juan. He'll burn villages, shoot hostages... every action has an equal and opposite reaction and the Colonel's reaction is going to be equally brutal. Imagine for a moment you were a soldier and something like this happened to your unit, the fury and the burning desire for revenge would be horrifying...
Did much better around the World than in America . Not a popcorn movie. His best film by far
MG 42 would indeed be making some carnage, but sadly, it would be drawing massive amounts of fire. Great flick, like all he did. Fine actor, back in the day when it was a true craft.
They had MG42's back then? Not so much
Well, they obviously had one for the shooting of this szene. ;-)
Only trouble is, an MG42 would be firing at the men on the bridge about 30 years after they had crossed.
Untouchables my favourite movie , like the Mounties here
Bridges.
Bridges?!?!
WE NO NEED NO STINKING BRIDGES !!!
Filme extraordinário !!! Atores, música, direção, roteiro , maravilhosos. Uma obra prima !
@Angry Combat Wombat I always would like to know how they do this too
Qual é o nome desse filme?
@@israelbarbosa677 - "Quando Explode a Vingança" 1971

God: "No shooting unless Papa pulls the trigger."
Army Lesson #49: Don't waste 1,000's of rounds of ammo when the bridge is wired to blow.
PS - Put the ear plugs in your ears before you start the attack.
Amry Lesson #159: If u have the Time Machine , dont pick a Mg43 from WW2...pick a Lasergun or Rocket Launcher!
Or get a Hulk.
@@lewisdean22 SMASH!
What a thoughtless destruction of a "mighty fine bridge!!"
So he’s sitting on a ridge surrounded by brown dirt in a bright white shirt in full sight.
And no bug-out route. ...... Plus not one shot fired back.
The strange thing is that there is a clear anachronism, This film is during the Mexican war (1914-16) and the MG42 wasn't invented until 1943.
The song that plays is the theme song for a radio channel in Montreal. Chom fm. Too funny!!!
MG42 went back in time
That's what happens when you cross a bone dry river bed through a narrow bridge.
That happened to me once.
Well I got better.
On one else wonder why they didnt just blow it up WHILE they were all on it?
Look closely. There's a long line of troops. Wouldn't get them all unless they all take cover under the bridge.
@@mikepastor.k6233 im not good at ambushes
Russian synchonization best synchronization of the world :)
Wow, an MG-42 being used some 32 years before it actually entered production.
who cares? enjoy! it's called fiction for a good reason :)
I had never heard of this movie, and didn't know that Once Upon A Time In The West had any companion movies. Must watch soon!
They don't really have any kind of connection except the title (in some markets in which it was called Once Upon a Time.....the Revolution) it is a good movie though very underrated among Leone's works.
Incredibly long ammunition belts….
Gun barrel on th M42 would have over heated also. Not so much on the water cooled machine gun, if they kept water up to it.
Ha, that's what I was thinking.
@@jamesbondoo81 Not that there would have been any MG42 in 1913's Mexico. ;-) But obviously there was one in 1971 Spain. ;-)
I think the size of the explosion surprised the film crew. Bit bigger than expected.
Well, my guess is they didn't have to blow this bridge up twice, lol...
Perfect, absolutely perfect.
Sean seems to be using the MG42, introduced long after this period - and how did they get machine guns?
From the movie studio storage))
From his "Iron Cross".....movie
Not.
James Coburn is firing a WWII German MG42 without a stock.
And the armoured car isn't returning fire? Also a Vickers needs two operators
no one cares
No, only one. Reloading is easier with two (or more)
Its a great scene in part because at least the sheeting seems mildly realistic - unlike most films where ammo never runs out and is weightless, barrels never heat and need changing or cooling and shooting scenes are so close they could throw rocks at each other - the distances feel about right (good range but not so close they can easily see where you are, rally or flank).
Guess the armoured car crew would be looking through a slot wouldn’t see well where its coming from in an old armoured car without some guy knocking on the lid to point and probably getting shot off. By then there’d be almost no one left on foot and you’d have blown the bridge and be moving to a new position to keep them down while you scoot.
by the way thats not a Vickers, its a a ww2 german mg42 (an anachronism). Thats a far faster firing gun and doesn’t need two people except to schlep all the ammo. A second person would be a spotter to watch peripherals and would be needed to carry ammo (the gun is heavy enough but this thing can eat +1200 round per minute and at +10g per bullet a few 250 round cans of thats +25kg for less than 15 seconds of full firing) but the second person is not needed to reload.
If this was realistic You’d want to be far quicker - hit them at each end of the convoy to drive them onto bridge, blow the bridge and move it to mop up or discourage pursuit or move to a second prepared place. If you stayed as long as he does they’d eventually spot and snipe you down when reloading (very vulnerable during the c 7seconds to reload a belt or change barrel) so he wants to be in a concealed position and to move fast unless he could get them all. Gunners didn’t live long in either Ww1 or 2 for those reasons.
I'll bet it's one of the biggest movie blasts ever filmed! The ground jumped for 500 feet around when it went off! Like the one in "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly" when they dynamited the bridge and a rock almost hit the camera!
And yet he was able to plunge down that battery box with one hand.
@@coopersmill Yeah!!! Hollyweird huh!!! Ever seen inside the box? The rack of the plunger spins a pinion gear on the armature of a generator, like in a wood telephone, faster and faster, and at the bottom of the travel, 2 contacts come together and send a surge down the wire at the peak speed of the generator, to deliver the best voltage! AND........it takes a lot of force to operate it!!!
@@junkdeal I had an uncle that blasted stumps & rock for a living. I've seen inside the box and even tried to use on a few times.
C'mon fellas three second bursts
With a 15,000 round belt...load
A well- executed ambush.
Such precision...not one horse shot but every rider killed!
А ,что сразу нельзя было взорвать?
TIME AFTER TIME25
ale jak w tych czasach był używany niemiecki MG-42 tylko kolby mu brak ......
Love it but....I highly doubt he would be resting his arm on the barrel of that Browning....
Looked more like a Vickers than a Browning!
when i was a teen i wasn't shocked by such scenes, but now, as an adult... i don't know...
these calibers... each bullet rips a head, explodes brain, eyes, tears guts, cuts people in half, and kill the horses, also.
And these guys, they are sheep, sons taken from their mothers, to fight for something, someone they don't even know or really care.
I would... i wouldn't like it. I would feel bad. And yet, so many movies depict killing as a good time.
Surely, i would kill if i had to, but... in a situation like that... maybe i would do it, but i would break my teeth tightening my jaw. I would feel it in my Heart, i think.
Good news for you, you're never going to have the chance to kill an Imperial kraut caravan anyway
