The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Customer Reviews (73 - 75 of 91 Reviews)

1. To make films such as this one and Once upon a time in America
2. To get your fans interested in the movies that inspired you

Quentin Tarantino does that, and on top of that he makes great films, his most timeless one is Pulp Fiction but that is all beside the point. After watching Kill Bill, I decided to get into the westerns genre, I had watched several samurai films, such as Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, The Hidden Fortress, thanks in part to my uncle who got so excited that I wanted to watch movies that he had watched when he was a kid that he bought me the films I mentioned above for my birthday, anyway, my interests grew in older films and I decided to give westerns a try, I heard this one was good, I borrowed it from my teacher none the less and I loved it, I really did, great movie, there is nothing more to be said, if you enjoy this, I recommend Once upon a time in America and Leone's other films, can't hurt to try them now can it. I have discovered a completely new genre of movies, it's almost like discovering Tarantino's films all over again.

This is better than I expected!
There's even a scene that wasn't on the previous DVD. The Tuco recruiting those three men. Eli and Clint's voices are older, but are still great to listen to. On disc two we get the extended torture scene, and snipits of another scene that has Tuco pursuing Blondie before the famous chase scene regarding those cigars. This is just great. If you want the American Theatrical Release, it's still avalible. But this is closer to Sergio Leone's vision. That's all I have to say, except to say there are no phone poles in this film. All you see are telegraph wires.

The Man with no name has a name
Joe Manco is his name, or at least a best guess, in the first movie the undertaker and bartender both call him Joe, generic? maybe. In the second film Col Mortimer is told by the town sherrif that another man was interested in the bounty on a wanted man, The Sherrif says he goes by "Manco" indicating Clint.
