    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Because writer and director Sergio Leone spoke barely any English and Eli Wallach (Tuco) spoke barely any Italian, the two communicated in French.
    • Goofs
      A 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.
    • Quotes

      Blondie: You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

    • Crazy credits
      Although 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 versions
      Syndicated on US TV in 2006 as a 95-minute truncated version, missing almost half of its original length.
    • Connections
      Edited into Bellissimo: Immagini del cinema italiano (1985)

    The best Western ever made

    Filmed in Spain by Italian filmmaker, this is the best Western ever made. With Hollywood actors but fittingly, not made in Hollywood, it was despised by the mainstream at the time, but also recognized for its genius and is the most famous part of the most famous Western trilogy. Building on a rich Italian storytelling and film making tradition, with unforgettable score, this movie has justly taken the place it now holds. If you have not seen it yet, do it. Equally subversive and authentic, this is just one master piece nobody should miss.

    FAQ36

    • How long is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?Powered by Alexa
    • What was the large battle depicted later in the movie when the bridge was blown? Was it based on an actual battle?
    • During the detonation of the bridge, you can see an object flying towards Blondie and Tuco in their bunker. It hits a sandbag about 0.8 meters to the right of Blondie and you can see the actor jump when it hits. Were the actors in danger? The object seems to be heavy like a rock and about the size of a softball. Another meter to the left and Blondie would have been hit dead center.
    • How & where did Angel Eyes meet his Gang Members? Where did they come from?
