MarkThe younger generation here may not be aware that "fistful of dollars" was a remake of the japanese samurai movie "Yojimbo", and the sequel "a few dollars more" was a remake of the Yojimbo sequel "Sanjuro".
If you have not seen it, Yojimbo is one of THE classic old-school samurai chop-em-ups where the one wandering badass takes on the evil bad guys. I heartily recommend it and that is saying a bit for a 50 year old movie. (in fact, the first fight scene in it was the inspiration for the bar scene in the the first star wars movie as well)

JORGE01The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is actually an anti war film disguised as a western. Look at the battle scene in the bridge and what the captain in charge of the Union soldiers says. Also there is a longer director’s cut version that makes it obvious the views of war. Finally the movie makes fun of the westerns, look at the characters Tooko and Blondy having a gunfight with the bad guys in the middle of an artillery barrage.
The film is a lot of fun to watch and is a great film.

About that time I had a '69 Formula "S" fastback "Cuda", 340 cubes. Paid for my gas with pick-up races. Stomped just about everyting but the 426 hemi and the 440 six pack. We had 4 drive-in theaters within 5 miles of where I lived. Don't think I ever saw a whole flick either.
Thanks for the memories guys!
Best
