    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
      You can see a car passing by in the background when Tuco is balancing on the cross on the graveyard in 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)
    • Soundtracks

    You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those who have rated this movie 10 stars and those who are wrong.
    Best western in history, best soundtrack in history. Mesmerizing acting by the 3 main characters, Eli Wallach is the standout star of the film. Cinematography is really well done and the shots are beautiful. The ending is absolutely perfect.

    FAQ23

    • 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.
