I remember seeing him in a western role in a Tv Series in the `60`s, the program was Rawhide. I only saw a couple of episodes when I was young here in the U.K., with my Grandad. I think these films were the first things he moved onto after leaving the Series.
39:42 well that explain everything…
Last Man Standing also worth a watch, based on the same Japanese film, with Bruce Willis and set during prohibition.
They filmed it in Spain. Because Spain has some terrain like our west. Sergio is italian
should watch, God Forgives…I don't! (1967)
The mule scene is the best… "now I know you guys were just fooling around, but the mule…he just doesn't get it." lol
When did Kingcobrajfs leave jessica for this chick?
Marisol ("She is pretty") was played by German actress Marianne Koch.
She appeared in different movies and TV-shows during the 1960's but like her somewhat famous father became an M.D. later in life.
And there are a bunch of other German actors in this movie, like Wolfgang Lukschy and Sieghardt Rupp.
Eastwood made his first appearance in the Western Genre as a young actor in the TV show Rawhide (Blues Brothers someone?).
The scene with the iron plate as bullet protection inspired the similar scene in Back to the Future 3.
Sergio Leone started the trend of these gritty westerns that were copied endlessly for a decade afterwards.
For clarifications tumbleweeds are native to America,not Italy as some think.Notuce no tumbleweeds in Spagetti Westerns.
This is the movie BIFF is watching when marty comes to ask him about the alamac book he bought in the future.

BEST CLINT EASTWOOD MOVIE……IMO
Please do the follow up “for a few dollars more”.
For a bit of historical context, westerns were banned in Italy under the Fascist regime, so in the 1950s cinemas put them on day in and day out. A lot of Italian kids from the 40s and 50s grew up on a steady diet of western movies.
As a result, when Leone and others started their own projects as directors, of course they looked at western for inspiration.
The Actors recited their lines in their native languages and the film was dubbed into the language of the country that it was being presented in.
"Innio Marconi"…
Jesus.
Ennio Morricone.
I'm here and done.
Would be interesting to see your reaction to the 1969 film Battle of Britain with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine
If You like this. You have to watch " Fist full of Dynamite/Duck You Sucker" And "Once upon a Time in the West" Same Director etc. great movies ands cast. Director got to later make the film He really wanted to make – " Once upon a time in America" It Stared Robert Dinero James Woods and A great supporting cast. It is about Prohibition and Gangsters.
I totally agree with Mrs. movies! It certainly no John Wayne! The only thing I think Clint Eastwood does better than John Wayne is the cop movies. Everything else John Wayne is better. Dirty hairy versus Branigan or mcQ
Here's something for you to consider, the "Dollars Trilogy" are chronologically out of order. In "Fistful of Dollars" the ambush of the army troops at the beginning is not done with a Gatling Gun, but with a Maxim Gun, which there were a lot of military surplus ones leftover after the Spanish-American War. And many enterprising young US Army Officers had a side hustle going on sneaking across the border and selling guns to the Mexican Army to fight Pancho Villa (around 1900-1910). The Colts and Winchesters carried by everyone closely align with this time period. In "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", it starts out at the end of the American Civil War, about 40 years before "Fistful of Dollars". The three of the first get together at the infamous Andersonville prisoner of war camp. Oh, and as far as your "he's immortal" joke, I refer you to "High Plains Drifter" and "Pale Rider".
i can't do a whistle 😅
Clint actually doesn't play the same character. The stories are completely separate and in different time periods.
Just like Mortimer/Angel Eyes, Ramon/El Indio are different characters.
Well, Spaghettin westerns come in different flavors.
First, there are those that attempt at ripping off on the success of American westerns (John Wayne's). It's common, even today. See mockbusters. In Italy those were often contaminated with other genres or rather, with stylistic choises from other genres. Eg. being more violent and grittier. A bit pulp, if you wish.
Then you have the ones by Leones. That's a very artist take on the genre. Still, in the Italian fashion, they are more violent (pushing the borders of censorship, that's the reason for the blood being too red BTW), but also dustier and gritter. John Wayne used to spend a week in the wilderness, sleeping under the stars in a bedroll, and wake up in the morning with a perfect shave and an clean, just ironed shirt. Not in Leone's movies. Everyone and everything is dirty. People's souls too, there are no heros.
Then there are the rip-offs on Leone's movies, after their huge success. These are of different qualities, some are B-movie, some are so bad they are good, some are definitely good, some are brilliant. Tarantino seems to likes them, Django is actually a series of speghetti western movies, which come with their own rip-offs BTW. The original Django, Franco Nero, appears in a cameo in Django Unchained, and he know that the d is silent, of course.
Leone's movies aren't really supposed to be a trilogy and the Man with No Name is just a marketing afterthought. It was common at the time to have just a loose thematic continuity, based on archetypes rather than actual characters. So Eastwood plays a cookie cutter "anti-hero", not necessarily the same character (even tho they do share specific call-backs, like the injury to the hand or the same poncho).
The other actors often re-appear alongside him, playing completely different and unrelated characters (e.g Lee Van Cleef and Gian Maria Volonté). That applies also to minor roles, of course. So you can see the same guy die in different movies.
Leone went on to more American productions with Once Upon the West and Once Upon in America (which isn't a western).
One of the best Trilogies that exist out there, but first one in my opinion is weakest of 3, and japanese original is both, more coherent and shot better to my taste, and Toshiro Mifune is force of nature in it, hopefuly you people will also check it out!
The reason why Clint is always squinting on his cowboy films, is that he is allergic to horses and his eyes swell up.
My personal favourite Western movie is The Magnificent Seven from 1960. All the remakes of it are absolutely trash and there are more then a few.
You know what's a great classic movie which I consider to be one of the greatest movies ever that it seems like as been long forgotten about from the world? Mandingo from 1975 is an amazing movie which I feel like is a secret gem that is pretty much only remembered by me. You've seen DJango right? Well I'd say that it's better and more historically accurate. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys would react to it. It deserves to be remembered and not lost
Clint was also in the Western TV show – Wagon Train.
So who’s better Eastwood or John Wayne, only thing to do is react to El Dorado and we can compare.
Yes it has already been said, but these were spaghetti westerns because the director and crew were Italian, but they were filmed in Spain.
I don't think i've seen a reactor look so bored.
Ennio Morricone, legendary composer of the Leone westerns, also created the tense “dum-dum” soundtrack for The Thing many years later. So versatile.
The films were also filmed in italy because in usa movies at that time had to be too clean… Aka fall in the river and actor would come out dry and couldnt show dirt and rough gore or action etc after spaghetti westerns it changed.
You should not assume that all so-called "spaghetti westerns" were made in Italy or with a cast of Italian actors. Many were made in Spain, including some of the most famous ones, with Spanish actors. Consult the web
John Wayne was so overrated. Thankfully he is mostly forgotten now. Between him and Clint Eastwood you are more likely to hear filmmakers cite Clint's movies as an influence.
