Trivia

While walking through Boot Hill, Hill points out to Fonda that one of the names on a gravestone is Sam Peckinpah. That same year, Clint Eastwood, in High Plains Drifter, had a Boot Hill scene that included Sergio Leone's tombstone, as well as a number of others.

Quotes

Nobody: I see it clear as crystal. Jack Beauregard standing alone, facing the Wild Bunch. Just think of it. You'll be written up in all the history books.
Jack Beauregard: You'll be down on Earth reading them while I'm up there playing on a harp.

User Reviews

A movie I could watch 100 times and it would never get old

This is a great Tonino Valerii & Sergio Leone film featuring Henry Fonda & Terence Hill. This is a take on the Trinity character Hill has done in the past, not the same character but a variation of it. This movie is a lot more serious than the Trinity(s) but still provides some very very funny scenes & plenty of them. The more serious side is a great story, a man (Fonda) who is a living legend, especially in the eyes of a stranger (Hill) who will do everything he can to see his hero get written in the history books. It is adventurous, touching, and hysterical. All the elements of a perfect film for me. Also features an amazing soundtrack by none other than Ennio Morricone. Both the film & its score are gems. Worth watching over & over. A true 10!
