Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGian Maria Volontè performed his lines in English, although he needed a translator to tell him everything word-for-word, as he did not speak the language. Contrary to some sources, his voice is not heard in the English version, in which his lines are dubbed by veteran voice actor Bernie Grant, who also voiced Volontè in A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and the Embassy Pictures version of A Bullet for the General (1967).
- GoofsThe car seen driving down the dirt road is visible during the conversation from the passenger on the train. This occurs before Mortimer lowers the Bible, when the traveling salesman says the train does not stop in Tucumcari. The car is seen in the distance, moving from lower right to upper left and driving at high speed.
- Quotes
[first title card]
Title card: Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the bounty killers appeared.
- Crazy creditsThe title credits disappear as if being shot by a gun.
- Alternate versionsThe British cinema release version was cut by the BBFC to shorten the beating scene after a few punches and to completely remove the second flashback sequence where Mortimer's sister shoots herself to avoid a possible rape. Although all UK video and original DVD releases contained these scenes, the 2005 Special Edition DVD was missing around 20 secs from the beating (which ends abruptly and without the dialogue exchange between Indio and Groggy).
- ConnectionsEdited into My Name Is Pecos (1966)
Featured review
Lee Van Cleef outstanding
Col. Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) and Monco (Clint Eastwood) are both bounty hunters. They're both after the bank robber El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté) for his bounty. They decide to join forces to bring El Indio and his gang of robbers down.
Lee Van Cleef makes this a superior spaghetti western. He's not only as good as Clint. In many ways, he plays a superior character. His character has secrets. He has mysteries. Clint is playing a much more simpler character. For me, this is superior to 'A Fistful of Dollars' in the trilogy. The story is more iconic, cleaner. The characters have more depth.
