    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)

    For a girl who doesn't enjoy westerns much, this was one of the greatest films ever!

    Gosh, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, I finally saw this film! Who hasn't heard of it? First off, may I say that Clint Eastwood... what a hottie in his day! :D Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Sergio Leone from what I understood was a huge western film fanatic and in the 60's pretty much most folks had moved onto other genre's. I mean, I would agree that most western's are pretty much the same and stereotypical.

    Sergio however took a story and added some elements to it such as comedy, drama, and war. The story flows so well and just compliments all of it's characters. By far my favorite character was The Good, played by Clint. He is a bounty hunter who captures The Ugly numerous times just to free him before every hanging and splits the winnings with him. When they learn of a coffin in the desert that has $200,000, they go for it. Of course we have the Bad who is a ruthless killer who also wants in on the doe.

    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a terrific film and I thank all the IMDb users for their useful comments and that pushed me to finally rent this western classic. Let's give it up for Sergio!

    • 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?
