Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGian Maria Volontè performed his lines in English, although he needed a translator to tell him everything word-for-word, as he did not speak the language. Contrary to some sources, his voice is not heard in the English version, in which his lines are dubbed by veteran voice actor Bernie Grant, who also voiced Volontè in A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and the Embassy Pictures version of A Bullet for the General (1967).
- GoofsThe car seen driving down the dirt road is visible during the conversation from the passenger on the train. This occurs before Mortimer lowers the Bible, when the traveling salesman says the train does not stop in Tucumcari. The car is seen in the distance, moving from lower right to upper left and driving at high speed.
- Quotes
[first title card]
Title card: Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the bounty killers appeared.
- Crazy creditsThe title credits disappear as if being shot by a gun.
- Alternate versionsThe British cinema release version was cut by the BBFC to shorten the beating scene after a few punches and to completely remove the second flashback sequence where Mortimer's sister shoots herself to avoid a possible rape. Although all UK video and original DVD releases contained these scenes, the 2005 Special Edition DVD was missing around 20 secs from the beating (which ends abruptly and without the dialogue exchange between Indio and Groggy).

Featured review
Worth more than a fistful of dollars
Excellent fun with sadistic humor from Leone. Eastwood's best performance in a Leone film. Van Cleef is good in a role similar to Chuck Bronson's in "Once Upon a Time in the West". He is menacing and sympathetic, whereas in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" he is just campy and all "bad guy" (but still fun). What makes both performances so memorable I think is that Van Cleef seems to be in touch with Leone's dark humor, where Eastwood is used as a straight man. Volonte is also excellent in the bandito role Leone used (an example of a standard European character type who reminds the audience of earthiness and the basic ignorance and greed of man). A much better film than most people who've seen it on a Saturday afternoon on TV probably realize -- you have to see these movies in the theater to get the full hit.
