Don't waste your time with the bad English dubbed version of the film and, if you have the chance, check out the original one - the only one that actually is worth watching.
By the way, here is the text of the mythical opening monologue, which is an amusing homage to the Spaghetti-Western genre:
"Per un pugno di dollari, per un miserabile pugno di dollari che non sono neanche tuoi, devi già ripartire? almeno lo facessi per qualche dollaro in più! e invece, vamos a matar compañeros, sempre in giro con il buono, il brutto, il cattivo tempo... Giù la testa, caro... Sei alla resa dei conti ormai. Chi sono io per te? Nessuno, ecco, il mio nome è nessuno. Devi metterti faccia a faccia con le tue responsabilità. Per queste creature ti danno soltanto un dollaro a testa, sei il mercenario peggio pagato di tutto il Texas, Cangaceiro! e noi siamo il mucchio selvaggio. Ma tu non vali nemmeno un dollaro bucato, e prima o poi finirai come quel (the) bounty killer del Minnesota, Clay era il suo nome, ma (e) poi lo chiamarono il magnifico. Però ricordatelo, c'era una volta il west che dicevi tu, oggi anche gli angeli mangiano fagioli. Ma sì, corri uomo corri! altrimenti ci arrabbiamo sul serio e se Dio perdona, io no. Perciò datti da fare, capito?... E tu smettila di fare il bestione... Vergognati, vergognati di far vivere i tuoi bambini come dei barboni. Leone, questo devi diventare se vuoi fare la rivoluzione nel mondo del west."
"Ma che c'entriamo noi con la rivoluzione?"
"L'avete sentito? Tanto, di Ringo o di Django, sono sempre io che me lo piango..."

Votes: 2,923
*** 1/2 A very particular, shocking on-the-road spaghetti-western, with a total badass villain divinely played by my beloved Tomas Milian, who based his character Chaco on Charles Manson. Fulci once again manages to surprise with an original and impressive film, in which moments of crude violence are strongly in contrast with the lyricism and romanticism of some scenes.
