I love how Harmonica is always enigmatic throughout the movie, even when dealing with allies. The characters in this film are something else. Every slow move they make and every word they say is poetic and conveys a veiled might, as if they were heroes from the epics of Homer. This film is Leone's epic.

This was the first time Harmonica met with Cheyenne, testing each other out.

The first time I saw this scene, it was 2AM. I woke up and turned on the TV and started watching. I was hooked. I said to myself "I'll watch one more scene and then go back to sleep." I kept saying that for the next 2 hours until the end. This film is an absolute masterpiece. Period.

@@darthwiizius I saw all the other Sergio Leone westerns a thousand times (including the part-directed, uncredited My Name Is Nobody) and haven't even heard of A Fistful of Dynamite until I happened on its very beginning when channel-surfing one evening several years ago. I think it is a flawed work, but a glorious failure, and with a revolution, Leone looked at a grander theme than in all his other films. What stayed with me the most was the railway station scene, which exceeded even Jill's arrival and the final scene of Once Upon A Time In The West.

But the film has charm and the way he drags Rod Steiger's gang from bandits to revolutionaries is an interesting ride not too dissimilar to the way "sister" Sarah drags Clint Eastwood into a rebellion. What I love about Sergio films are the sub-plots underlying the main stories.

A masterpiece. Probably the greatest Western of all time.

The Good The Bad And Ugly

The entire scene is complete perfection right down to Cheyenne's final, oh so subtle nod of respect to Harmonica.

Lionel Stander is in this film for less than 5 minutes, yet that was all he needed to steal the scene and leave a lasting impression. Great character actor.

Jason Robards was soooooooo great in this movie, heck, everyone was fantastic. What a magnificent film, maybe the best western ever told.

The photography in this particular movie was superb.

One of those few movies that approaches perfection.

Westerns are ok. But this movie is insane. Pure art. Watch it again and again... On each step of your life you will find something in it for you.

You could feel the tension in that first scene. Greatest western ever made. Good Bad Ugly was a close second.

Every scene, evey word spoken, evey music note in this film are priceless👍✌️

One of the greatest movies ever made! The fact that it was shot in Techniscope (35mm film, but only half the height), which is grainier and a bit softer than 35mm full frame anamorphic, makes it look gritty. You also get the advantage of deep focus with wide angle lenses, making many of the now iconic shots possible. Perfect! Fun fact: of the three men waiting at the train station, Woody Stroode's character didn't wear a duster. The other two did, fair enough.

Woody Strode did wear a duster in the first few minutes of the opening. The first shot of Strode is him standing in the door wearing a duster. He just took it off and put it on his horse before he started walking towards the windmill. I guess that after Harmonica killed all 3 men, he went to take one of the horses for himself and saw the third duster on one of them.

One of those 3 men waiting at the train was actor Al Mulock, who would tragically kill himself during the shooting of this same movie by jumping out his window in the hotel while dressed in the same outfit he wore during his train station scene. Apparently, Leone was in one of the rooms below and saw Mulock pass by his window on the way down, and when people realized what had happened and were ready to rush Mulock to the hospital, Leone told one of his crew "Make sure you get the costume, we might need it".

Watched in high school , our film art class rented it at the theater. Will never forget.😊

This movie is so damn good. It probably has the best dialogues ever, and the best characters intro too. A masterpiece

Still love the scene at the train station, where Bronson says where's Frank? and Jack Elam says Frank sent us, to which CB says did you bring a horse for me? ( because there are only 3) and JE laughs and says, looks like we shy a horse, and then CB shakes his head and says you brought 2 too many and proceeds to kill all 3 as they try to outgun him, even though he gets wounded, he rides off on the 3rd horse leaving the dead gunmen the remaining 2 horses.

the tension is great in this movie.

In my opinion, the best movie ever made. I would have to write a book to tell why it is so good. I have watched this movie about 5 times through and single scenes from YT 100 times. I loved the dollar trilogy, I loved the "Once about the in the America". Sergio Leone, Tonino Delli Colli and Ennio Morricone were a one of hell of a trio to make movies. They made Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Gian Maria Volonte, Eli Wallach world famous stars. Bronson, Robard and Fonda already were stars. Of course this is just my opinion. The common sentiment in Leones movies are sullen and romantic undertone, which was masterfully emphasised by Morricones masterful sense of musical drama. I believe Leones movies would not have gained the status he had without Morricone. Also Collis cinematography was kind of revolutionary with its boot level perspectives and really close shots in the face. My all time favorite is the lengthy beginning scene at the start of movie "once upon time in the west" in the train station. No words, only squeaky sound from wind mill. I miss Sergio.

Each second is worth its weight in gold. Watched in cinema hall, early 80's, as teenager.

The Quality of the picture should tell current film makers that there is something wrong with Cinema Today in 2023!

The BEST WESTERN MOVIE ever made... ....

Grade 9 for the dialogues and the tense build-up. Makes one wish to see more.

" Now I am used to a quiet, simple country life" lol 😁
