The title is the first question.

The second question is who was your favorite character in the movie ? (poll)

I do not know why, but I could never get into this movie. I don't know why as it is a classic movie in the western genre, but for some reason, it just never appealed to me.

One problem was it was a bit too long, and a lot of parts were kind of draggy.
The music was awesome, and a lot of the parts were comical along with the serious. Great acting by all 3 of these guys.
Very smart plot.

I need an Eastwood film I haven't seen lately.
Pretty sure the last 2 were the Clyde ones.
Any Which Way but Loose
and
Any Which Way You Can.

Maybe you have undiagnosed PTSD or there is a commie inside of you trying to get out.

How can anyone that speaks English not love that movie ?

I watch it once a year !

You and me both... I never got into "spaghetti westerns"... as much as I like Eastwood I just prefer American western movies...

Eli Wallach pretty much stole the whole movie from the other actors. Great actor, and didn't even have to try hard.

I voted for him. It was one of the best acting jobs of all time.

They were Italian B movies, pretty much crap by any B movie standards, but they just hit at a certain time and clicked with a steady audience, like the Dracula and Frankenstein movies, all those crappy noir detective movies from the 1930's and '40's, and Quentin Tarrantino's trash. They are comedies to me, and the soundtracks are over the top, lol.

I remember seeing "A Fist Full of Dollars" in the theater as a kid. I thought Clint was the coolest guy ever. Still do!

I love 'em!
Jerry Miculek makes 'em look pretty silly, though.

His career was down the tubes until he was reduced to doing those B westerns in Europe. They led to his revival and he went on to produce as well. I'm sure he was surprised when they did well in the U.S. He was able to do less corny crap.

IMHO...you are close but not there.

25 years ago I would have said Blondie. A number of people have told me I look like Clint Eastwood including my own mom. But in all honesty in recent years I have come to really appreciate Lee Van Cleef's character more than the other two. A true evil semi believable badass without the good ol boy Hollywood charm that Clint Eastwood's character has. Clint Eastwood's character seems more like a Playboy compared to him. Angel Eyes is a serious mofo. They could easily have made a sequel where Clint Eastwood got his comeuppance from that razor blade of a character, that cold calculating killer with a self serving agenda. In fact sometimes there's something satisfying about seeing Clint Eastwood get the s**t kicked out of him.

I'm not sure I understand the overwhelming love for Wallach's Tuco. You're supposed to like him because he's such a Goddamn pathetic happygolucky doofus! No dice here, hombres. He's mostly just a pathetic loser with great expectations. Obviously expendable.

Favorite scene. I don't know, I probably haven't seen the movie in at least 5 years. But I really like the part where Clint Eastwood says "there's two kinds of people in this world. Those with guns and those who dig. You dig."

And this.

Damn... I'm a good shot but wow... you sure don't want to break into that dude's house...
