The "Dollars Trilogy" VIDEO / DVD Collection
One of the contributing factors to the popularity of the "Dollars" films has been the fantastic soundtracks. Now for all you "Spaghetti Western" fans there are a number of compilation CD's available to buy from "Amazon". Click the links below for details:
"A Fistful of Dollars" Video Case Cover Information:
The first of the "spaghetti westerns", "A Fistful Of Dollars" became an instant international cult phenomenon. It also launched the film careers of Italian writer-director, Sergio Leone and a little known American television actor named Clint Eastwood. As the lean, cold-eyed, cobra-quick gunfighter - the laconic "Man With No Name" - Clint became the first of the "anti-heroes". The cynical, enigmatic loner with a clouded past is the same character Eastwood fans have been savouring ever since. "A Fistful of Dollars" is the western taken to the extreme - unremittingly violent, gritty realism and at times delightfully tongue-in-cheek. Leone's direction is taut and stylish and the visuals are striking - from breathtaking panoramas (in Spain) to extreme close-ups of quivering lips and darting eyes before the shoot-out begins. And all accentuated by renowned film composer Ennio Morricone's quirky, haunting score.

Movie Quote:
"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it". (Clint Eastwood)

* It is interesting to note that Clint Eastwood was not the first choice to play the "Man With No Name". Some of the actors considered for the role include: Steve "Hercules" Reeves", Charles Bronson, and American Legend Henry Fonda.
* "A Fistful of Dollars" was based on a Japanese samurai film "Yojimbo (1961) directed by Akira Kurosawa and starring the great Toshiro Mifune". Toshiro would later go on to star opposite Charles Bronson in the popular spaghetti western "Red Sun" (1972).
* The "Fistful Of Dollars" story proved to be so popular that it was remade twice in the 1990's, "Last Man Standing" (1996) starring Bruce Willis and "Inferno" a.k.a. Desert Heat (1999) starring Jean Claude Van Damme.
* Although it was the third film in the "Dollars" trilogy the "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" is considered by some to be a prequel. About twenty minutes before the end of the third film Eastwood picks up a poncho off a dying soldier and puts it on. The poncho completes his new look, which is the same as that in the first two films and thus suggesting that the third film is in fact the first film of the trilogy when considering chronological order.
* Sergio Leone offered Charles Bronson a role in each of the "Dollars" films but it wasn't until "Once Upon A Time In the West" (1968) that Bronson agreed to star in a Leone film.
* In the theatrical trailer for "The Good The Bad And The Ugly", Lee Van Cleef (Angel Eyes) is portrayed as "The Ugly" and Eli Wallach (Tuco) is portrayed as "The Bad," this of course is the reverse of the actual film.
* The Italian version of "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" is the director's cut and is about 15 minutes longer than the original American release. Leone's version is about the 3hrs long while the American video release is around 162 minutes.

"For A Few Dollars More" Video Case Cover Information:
Hard on the boot heels of the phenomenal success of his trend setting western, "A Fistful Of Dollars", director Sergio Leone delivers a second, gun-blazing instalment of the saga of "The Man With No Name", with screenplay by Luciano Vincenzoni. Superstar Clint Eastwood is back "For A Few Dollars More" - same poncho, same cheroot, same squint, and as lethal as the silver cobra that adorns the handle of his colt 45. European star Gian Maria Volonte also returns as Indio, Clint's sadistic adversary. Joining the deadly duo is Lee Van Cleef, whose piercing eyes bore holes through people as surely as long-barrelled six-shooter. Bounty hunters Eastwood and Van Cleef form an uneasy alliance in quest of the reward money offered for Indio and his scurvy band of desperadoes. (Watch for an early appearance of International film star Klaus Kinski as the bad-guy hunchback with a nervous twitch!) Spiced with explosive gun battles, jailbreaks, bank hold-ups, and a sardonic sense of humour, "For A Few Dollars More" delivers a mighty wallop in the inimitable Clint Eastwood way.
