This is probably my personal favorite of the trilogy with its score, Eastwood and Van Cleef's performance and characters, the villain, and the personal element to the showdown.
Yeah, this one has the best story of the three, by far. I do love Tuco's story in TGTB&TU, but this one's always been my favorite of the 3. And then, Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite Leone film, and perhaps my favorite film period. It's just a masterpiece.
@@Severin69 I didn’t say he was the best…I said he was quintessential and he is whether he’s a cowboy gunslinger or a cop. There are obviously other great examples of antiheroes in cinema, and each is unique, but they’re not in this movie.

Are you planning on watching all the Leone films, not just The Good the Bad and the Ugly but Once Upon a Time in the West? They get better and better with each one :) Oh and if you want an amazing gangster film, Leone made Once upon a Time in America in the 80s and that would be an incredible reaction for you guys.
Just remember to watch the restored edition of Once Upon A Time In America (the 4 hour plus one) and not the theatrical version (2 plus hours) as the studio really butchered the movie for the american market.
@@YouHaventSeenMeRight A very good point. Although thankfully I don't think it's easy to even find the 2 hour studio cut. All the DVD and Blu Ray releases have used the four hour cut. In fact I think there's even an extended extended cut which has missing scenes, supervised by Martin Scorsese?
The Great Silence (1968) is probably the best lesser known western. Revolutionary for the genre at that time and an inspiration for both Tarantino and RDR2.
it's always weird to me when someone calls that film underrated, but then i remember that Italo-Westerns are only REALLY big here in Europe. Many of the german titles (The Great Silence is called "Corpses pave his way", and Once Upon a Time in the West is "Play me the Song of Death") have been absorbed into the collective mind of the people here.
@@evgenyivanov6311 It's my 3rd favorite movie of all time. As many times as I've seen it since the 60s, I never tire of seeing it again at least once a year.
Thank you so much for reacting to The Dollars Trilogy! It’s heartbreaking that I haven’t been able to find many reactions to Sergio Leone films. I cannot wait to see you react to my all time greatest film, Once Upon a Time in the West.
Out of the three Leone / Eastwood films, this one is comfortably my favourite. They now have the money to realise the vision and everyone knows what they are doing, and (unlike the later Leone films) they don't stretch out the run time with unnecessary scenes.
I used to think this one is my favorite but I lean towards GBU now. But I think Col Mortimer is my favorite character of the trilogy, just edging out Eastwood.
I used to avoid watching these kind of western movies , but you guys helped me see the fun side. From Nebraska, thank you for opening up this world for me
Another Spaghetti western masterpiece with Klaus Kinski as a derraged SOB is "The Great Silence". In that film you will witness and appreciate the versatility of SHAVING CREAM.
Lee Van Cleef's acting when Indio pulls out the pocketwatch and the music starts playing is my favorite moment in all three films. You can see his heart breaking in his eyes. You wonder if he's not just going to break down and cry. It's such a beautiful emotional moment.
@@jamescricketson9464 One of the greatest screen actors and most demented people to have ever lived. Watch his Herzog films and read his jawdropping autobiography. Was a complete hero for us when we were growing up.
@@jamescricketson9464 And what, precisely, pray, are the qualities that underpin that assessment. Also seeing as how I'm a programmer I take that as a massive compliment, thank you so much.
May I suggest a great 60s? "Once Upon a Time in The West", also directed by Sergio Leone, starring Henry Fonda , Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. Amazing plot, stellar performances and a very interesting premise. There were three men in her life. One knew her past. One wanted her land. One wanted revenge.
Sergio leoni has this unique knack of using exactly the right amount of character introduction, WITHOUT it ever being boring because of it despite going over the 2 hour marker. Something most other directors seem unable to do.
The bullet echoing sounds in spaghetti westerns and the wood knocking punch sounds in old kung fu movies are among the most epic sound effects ever to be made.
Great reaction guys! one of my all time fav movies, a masterpiece. I Hope you fellas watch Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time... The Revolution (as i like to call to it) which is also known as "A Fistful of Dynamite or Duck You Sucker" its underrated among Leone's work meaning it feels like it gets left out with the bigger names but its just as good if not even better than some actually. It has incredible music once again but a real sadness to it with a engrossing yet sad tale. First rate acting by James Coburn and Rod Steiger, an absolute must watch a masterpiece aswell.
Awesome reaction video guys I always enjoy the friendly banter between you, Shaun saying he going model his Red Dead Redemption 2 character on Clint made me laugh. This had great character arcs & a excellent twist I love final scene Clint character shoots last bad guy then says "it's fine thought something wrong with my counting" just little scenes like that make this movie great. The third film is a prequel so in chronologically terms it's the first one, there are great characters with Lee Van Cleef playing The Bad & Eli Wallach as Tuco completely steals the show. Eastwood filmed these films inbetween seasons of Rawhide & there was a fourth planned but Eastwood wanted do other roles.
"Once upon a time in America", "Once upon a time in the West" and the "Good, the Bad and the Ugly" are the three Sergio Leone's masterpieces. Also, the three soundtracks are amazing. Give them an opportunity when possible even if they are a quite bit long films.
" The man is unhinged" 8:11 A very apt description of the actor Klaus Kinski, the man in question. He was a german actor who ways always very volatile, He was known to have shouting matches with directors such as Werner Herzog. His daughter Natasha Kinski, is a very talented actress. You should check out the the film of Tess.
Lee Van Cleef dressed exactly like one of his childhood heroes in two movies “Spaghetti Westerns’ Wyatt Earp. Lee’s costume is a perfect copy of the famous outfit worn by Wyatt Earp in 1881 in Tombstone Arizona. Lee provided his own clothes as did Clint Eastwood. Lee even used a 12 inch barrel Colt like the one used by Marshall Earp. The Hat, Coat, Shirt, Vest, Tie with Tie pin, Boots, Guns every detail is a Tribute to the most famous Lawman-Marshall in American history. John Wayne often said he made all his characters after Wyatt Earp saying every time he walked onto a movie set he pretended to be Wyatt Earp in the way he walked and talked. Clint Eastwood was also influenced by Wyatt and said he fashioned Inspector Harry Callahan “Dirty Harry” after the most famous Lawman Marshall in history… Wyatt Earp.
I like this more than the first and even the third movie in the series. Cuz the main character seem to still be The Man With No Name..... but in a stronger supportive role and it feels enjoyable that way cuz he seems nigh untouchable in a 'skilled veteran' way.
A few years back I decided to sit down and first watch a ton of spaghetti westerns over a few weeks and it was some of the best time I spent in front of my TV. Buckle up for the next one, it is iconic, but there are still more good ones after that!
I completely agree, I prefer this one to the second one. (This is actually my favorite of the three). Your reaction to my favorite scene - the shoot out of the hats between Clint and Lee Van Cleef - was all I want out of a reaction video! You applauded! You applauded my favorite scene!!! Quick correction: the genre of the western is NOT defined by long running times, nor slow paced. The Sergio Leone "spaghetti westerns" ARE long and slow. His movies are usually on "epic" scale, and have slow pacing, music by Ennio Morricone, etc. But westerns are not, by definition, short or long "Stagecoach" is one of the all-time greats, it's not particularly long, and you can't say the pace is slow on that. Spectacular action and stunts. "My Darling Clementine", one of the greatest, not particularly long. "True Grit" might be a little longer, but not too much. "One Eyed Jacks" is a couple of hours long, but I wouldn't say that movie is paced slow! (That's a great one, the only movie Marlon Brando ever directed, and it's fantastic). "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid" (1969) is a fantastic western, not paced slow, and is a "normal" length movie. (That's definitely a movie to add to your list! That's a classic, and a great one that really holds up!) ("Bonnie And Clyde" is another, I'm shocked there are no reaction videos for that one! That's the birth of onscreen violence that everyone loves so much! :P And one of the best crime movies of all time!) Spaghetti westerns are European-based productions with international casts of actors. (in this movie, there was Klaus Kinski from Germany, lots of Italians and Spanish, a few Americans.) Hollywood westerns made from the silent era till the 50s or so actually used real cowboys and outlaws from the old west, had spectacular stunts (the best of them)....Hollywood actually prolonged the old west, which was dying out when the film industry moved there starting in 1910. You get the real deal when you watch stuff like "The Covered Wagon". Anyways, blah blah blah, thanks for the video, that was a lot of fun revisiting this movie with you.....and at a fraction of the time it would have taken me had I actually rewatched the whole thing! :P
I've been in the saloon where Clint shot the first three men. The film set is still there. It's in a place they call Mini Hollywood in Andalusia in southern Spain near Malaga. The closest town is called Tabernas.
Great comments & analysis, i rate this an 8.0 SO many more western films to come, best leave some room at the top. Looking forward to you guys on the next film.
My favorite of the 3. I knew I fell in love with this movie when Indio has his duel in the church. It was even better at the final duel. I routinely listened to the final duel music and get goosebumps each time
Fun fact regarding hating trains: JRR Tolkien also hated trains, they represented the ending of the world he knew as a child and the destruction of the countryside he loved to roam.
Lee Van Cliff is so cool in this. I like him much better here than in the follow up movie. A weapon specialist, a marksman. And a good sad story to boot, as the best Westerns always have a revenge story. Really For a Few Dollars More is such a great movie, might be my favorite of the Trilogy. Love the musical watch linked to the sountrack. So powerful.
You guys are awesome! AND it seems you are genuinely interested in movies. You should do a review of every Oscar Best Picture winner...that would be a challenge.
I love the emotions going through Mortimer's face at the end. To be so close to the man you want to kill, but figuring he's dead cause his gun is too far away. Then Clint shows up to level the playing field.
aaa i loved the trilogy for these films!! i first watched the good the bad and the ugly on tv one day but i believe it was in spanish lmao. recently watched it again for an animation project and i absolutely loved it! after that i watched the other two and they were also great!! im honestly glad ive invested some time into watching more spaghetti western films cause theyre a whole lotta fun imo 🤠
Interesting and intelligent rections guys. Keep it up. You really ought to watch "The Outlaw Josey Wales". One of the best westerns IMO, with Eastwood starring and directing.. A gem.
You should know that I really love you guys because I'm sitting through a western with you. My father loved these and I've seen them all a thousand times. Yes they are good but you can get too much of a good thing
You mentioned how well the closeups of characters faces were done. You also have to think of the impact these had on a 10 foot (?) high cinema screen when you are sitting anywhere near the front. 😲 it's just not the same watching on a laptop or even a 42" tv.
I hope you don't stop with the third film. Once Upon a Time in the West is my second favorite film, after 2001. You weren't too into the latter, but maybe you'll really like this one.
"...the sets are better..." Leone built a western town called Little Hollywood in southern Spain for this movie (El Paso). It's still there and is still used as a movie set and a tourist attraction. It was used to film many, many Spaghetti Westerns after 1965!
Do not like western movies...neither do i like Clint Eastwood...but I am watching the video because I just love you guys. You make my depression and anxiety more tolerable ♥️😊
I love Lee Van Cleef in this film, even though he's wicked in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. General Mortimer is just one cool bad ass, especially when he lights his pipe on the hunchback's hump.
Considering your love to the Ennio Moriconne music, recommend the "Gunpowder Milkshake". The director and the composer made a serenade to the Spaghetti Westerns combined with French action flicks (Belmondo's Professionel).
Glad you saw that Gian Maria Volontè played the villain in this one too. Hopefully, after seeing Lee Van Cleef doing a totally different character in the third, and realising Clint Eastwood plays different characters in the films, you'll address the misunderstanding that this is a trilogy. The distributers who bought the rights to these three for release in USA (after some reediting) called it a trilogy, and then it stuck. The real Leone trilogy, with a common theme, is: 1968 - Once Upon a Time in the West (C'era una volta il West) Best western ever in my opinion. 1971 - Duck, You Sucker! (Giù la testa) Grossly underrated, I think. Still the weak one in the bunch. 1984 - Once Upon a Time in America Leone's best.

Quick correction: the genre of the western is NOT defined by long running times, nor slow paced. The Sergio Leone "spaghetti westerns" ARE long and slow. His movies are usually on "epic" scale, and have slow pacing, music by Ennio Morricone, etc. But westerns are not, by definition, short or long "Stagecoach" is one of the all-time greats, it's not particularly long, and you can't say the pace is slow on that. Spectacular action and stunts. "My Darling Clementine", one of the greatest, not particularly long. "True Grit" might be a little longer, but not too much. "One Eyed Jacks" is a couple of hours long, but I wouldn't say that movie is paced slow! (That's a great one, the only movie Marlon Brando ever directed, and it's fantastic). "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid" (1969) is a fantastic western, not paced slow, and is a "normal" length movie. (That's definitely a movie to add to your list! That's a classic, and a great one that really holds up!) ("Bonnie And Clyde" is another, I'm shocked there are no reaction videos for that one! That's the birth of onscreen violence that everyone loves so much! :P And one of the best crime movies of all time!) Spaghetti westerns are European-based productions with international casts of actors. (in this movie, there was Klaus Kinski from Germany, lots of Italians and Spanish, a few Americans.)

The sound was never recorded when it was filmed but latter dubbed in appropriate for the language of the country the film was shown in.
Before you tire of westerns, I hope you do Silverado (1985). Great cast & story. Diff feel than the others you’ve seen. More modern but very good.
THIS GUYS UNHINGED 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂THAT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS LINE EVER🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
You guys are awesome! AND it seems you are genuinely interested in movies. You should do a review of every Oscar Best Picture winner...that would be a challenge.
Notice the sunset light appearing behind and on Mortimer in the last ten or so minutes.
I love the emotions going through Mortimer's face at the end. To be so close to the man you want to kill, but figuring he's dead cause his gun is too far away. Then Clint shows up to level the playing field.
“Oh look. He’s your size.” Hilarious.
Just wait until you hear the music in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. You may have heard some of it before coz its that iconic.
aaa i loved the trilogy for these films!! i first watched the good the bad and the ugly on tv one day but i believe it was in spanish lmao. recently watched it again for an animation project and i absolutely loved it! after that i watched the other two and they were also great!! im honestly glad ive invested some time into watching more spaghetti western films cause theyre a whole lotta fun imo 🤠
Have you listened to: the danish national symphony orchestra? they did the songs to all these three movies.
Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Shaun! 🤠
This one is actually my favorite of the Man With No Name films.
Interesting and intelligent rections guys. Keep it up.
You really ought to watch "The Outlaw Josey Wales". One of the best westerns IMO, with Eastwood starring and directing.. A gem.
You boys are gonna have a blast with good the bad and the ugly, I'm looking forward to it on your behalf.. p.s. come on england
You should know that I really love you guys because I'm sitting through a western with you. My father loved these and I've seen them all a thousand times. Yes they are good but you can get too much of a good thing
Sergio Leone e Ennio Morricone gli artisti che reinventarono il Western,con i pochi mezzi che avevano in Italia,quando si nasce geni !!!!!🤠🌹🤠🌹🤠🌹!!
You mentioned how well the closeups of characters faces were done. You also have to think of the impact these had on a 10 foot (?) high cinema screen when you are sitting anywhere near the front. 😲 it's just not the same watching on a laptop or even a 42" tv.
Excellent Quality. Now you have to go epic with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Cheers.
From where do you think the modern day movies took their same scene shots?From the old movies mate and from master Sergio Leone
I hope you don't stop with the third film. Once Upon a Time in the West is my second favorite film, after 2001. You weren't too into the latter, but maybe you'll really like this one.
"...the sets are better..." Leone built a western town called Little Hollywood in southern Spain for this movie (El Paso). It's still there and is still used as a movie set and a tourist attraction. It was used to film many, many Spaghetti Westerns after 1965!
Do not like western movies...neither do i like Clint Eastwood...but I am watching the video because I just love you guys. You make my depression and anxiety more tolerable ♥️😊
I like how most reviewers can't figure out that the guy who runs out first is not Indio, it's Grogy, and he's only wounded.
I love Lee Van Cleef in this film, even though he's wicked in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. General Mortimer is just one cool bad ass, especially when he lights his pipe on the hunchback's hump.
Word
Considering your love to the Ennio Moriconne music, recommend the "Gunpowder Milkshake". The director and the composer made a serenade to the Spaghetti Westerns combined with French action flicks (Belmondo's Professionel).
Glad you saw that Gian Maria Volontè played the villain in this one too. Hopefully, after seeing Lee Van Cleef doing a totally different character in the third, and realising Clint Eastwood plays different characters in the films, you'll address the misunderstanding that this is a trilogy. The distributers who bought the rights to these three for release in USA (after some reediting) called it a trilogy, and then it stuck.
The real Leone trilogy, with a common theme, is:
1968 - Once Upon a Time in the West
(C'era una volta il West)
Best western ever in my opinion.
1971 - Duck, You Sucker!
(Giù la testa)
Grossly underrated, I think. Still the weak one in the bunch.
1984 - Once Upon a Time in America
Leone's best.
Interested to hear your thoughts on American Pshyco - Re-watched it recently and was blown away by what a great movie it is!!!
