Current Events > Just watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly last night

(+) Yeah! (+)

So is this movie not actually a sequel to A Few Dollars more, or did Lee Van Cleef just for no reason do a total 180 off screen?

Also how did Angel Eyes just randomly become an officer in the union army, lol.

Also how did he get leave?

Also what was with the random drunk Captain/bridge scene? The movie was long enough already and it didn't actually even end up being a parallel for the climax like I was expecting it to be.

It's a sequel but Van Cleef is playing a different character.

The Man With No Name movies aren't connected like that. They all have the Eastwood Man With No Name character, but take place during different time periods (Fistful of Dollars - 1890s/around the turn of century, For A Few Dollars More- 1880s, and TGTBATU - Civil War). Cleef plays different characters. Always wondered about him being in the army as well. I guess he faked his way in or had some connections.

Yeah, it was not bad at all. I loved the camera work and the OST, but these couple of things really threw me for a loop.

That said, I think Dollars More was my favorite of the three.

I despise that movie only slightly less than Hitler's entire filmography. Wanted to throttle somebody after they played that fucking song for the trillionth goddamn time. I would like to find whoever made that decision and fist his nipples into a bloody mess while screaming that song in his face.

I like The Great Silence for spaghetti, but Kinski is gonna get cancelled again

---

My personal favorite part is when Tuco is looking for the grave and the scene gradually gets more disorienting.

TGBU is definitely my favorite film of Leone's, while Once Upon a Time in the West was a close second. Once Upon a Time in America was a bit much for me, but I appreciated it more on a separate viewing (non-truncated version).

I named my first dog tuco
Had to put him to sleep years ago
RIP tuco

Here is my 13 year old dog blondie though


---

Cleef playing two separate characters still isn't as weird as them using the same actor to play two separate main villains in Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, at least imo.

---

one of the best movies ever made

this was also great

Great Silence is my second favourite western after Once Upon a Time. It's so fucking good, but the DVD release of it I have sadly has awful audio scratching for most of the film.

who were the two repeated separate main villains again? I'm trying to compare cast lists of the two movies but my small brain can't find the same actor for some reason.

The main villain in both Fistful and Few Dollars is played by the same actor. I think in one of the films his character is named Rmon.
---

Oh I see, Wikipedia has two completely different names in both films for the same actor for some reason. John Wells (Fistful of Dollars) and Gian Maria Volonte (For a Few Dollars More)

I'd imagine John Wells is the person who does the English dub for the character.

Heh, I had this problem too when it first dawned on me 'wait...wait, that's the same damn guy as the first movie,' but for some reason the actor credits were different when I went digging. IMDB now credits him in Fistful of Dollars as Gian Maria Volonte: Ramon (as John Wells), which as DeadBankerDream said might have been his dub actor (Gian learned his lines in English for A Few Dollars More).

Last time I saw it was in the parking lot of the local stadium in 2016 while we waited for Metallica. You know what I mean, The Ecstasy of Gold y'all

A few dollars more is the best one imo. I liked cleef's character a lot more there too

Good bad ugly still has some pros

So good, my favorite western.

TGTBATU might be the better film, but FAFDM is more my movie. Eastwood and Cleef teaming up is awesome. Plus it has Gian Maria Volonte as El Indio, who is an underrated villain.

I love the whole trilogy.

If pushed I'd probably slightly tilt towards FAFDM too, but you're not gonna have a bad time with any of them tbh.
