    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According 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.
    • 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.

    FAQ38

    • How long is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?Powered by Alexa
    • Is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly a prequel to the two other Eastwood spaghetti westerns?
    • 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.
