Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Eli Wallach, when it came time to blow up the bridge, Sergio Leone asked the Spanish Army Captain in charge to trigger the fuse, as a sign of gratitude for the Army's collaboration. They agreed to blow up the bridge when Leone gave the signal "Vai!" (Go!) over the walkie-talkie. Unfortunately, another crew member spoke on the same channel, saying the words "vai, vai!", meaning "it's okay, proceed" to a second crew member. The Captain heard this signal, thought it was for him, and blew up the bridge. Unfortunately, no cameras were running at the time. Leone was so upset that he fired the crewman, who promptly fled from the set in his car. The Captain was so sorry for what happened that he proposed to Leone that the Army would rebuild the bridge to blow it up again, with one condition: that the fired crewman be re-hired. Leone agreed, the crewman was forgiven, the bridge was rebuilt, and the scene was successfully shot.
- GoofsA car can be seen passing by in the background when Tuco is balancing on the cross on the graveyard at the end of the movie.
- Crazy creditsAlthough Eli Wallach has the most screen time and is one of the titular characters, he is credited as "...and Eli Wallach in the role of Tuco" after all the other actors' names appear.
- Alternate versionsSyndicated on US TV in 2006 as a 95-minute truncated version, missing almost half of its original length.
- ConnectionsEdited into Bellissimo: Immagini del cinema italiano (1985)

Made me love Western. Brilliant! ⭐
I wasn't aware of the wild taste of Western. This movie made me love Western. I don't know any movie can achieve being this much effective nearly without any drama. Nearly every great movie is carried by some drama between characters.
Yes it has a little bit drama. It shows the greediness of humanity just like The Treasue of Sierra Madre. It refletcs conflicts between three different types of men. Also I love how Eastwood's character is nameless in The Man Without Name Trilogy. Sometimes the trilogy also called The Dollar Trilogy.
Besides the storyline the techincs are breathtaking.
Acting performances are just breathtaking. If you didn't notice that much of acting skills, then you should check Trivias of the movie.
The Scores just one of the bests. Morricone just made the most iconic scores. From that time until now, every Western score has his iconic type.
Set decoration is about something enormous in this movie. They really did something great with that too.
Costume design and makeups are also so good. You can see it in the battle scenes and in the desert scenes.
Sound is really good, the only decent thing is Film Editing. Especially in the Extended Versions some flaws appears.
