Short description
Two bounty hunters are in pursuit of "El Indio," one of the most wanted fugitives in the western territories, and his gang.
What's left behind the scenes
- This film is the second in the “Dollars Trilogy” and features a second main antagonist – the “bad” guy.
- Screenwriter and director Sergio Leone did not want to film a sequel to the western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (1964), but the studio 'Jolly Film' refused to pay him for 'A Fistful of Dollars' until he agreed to make a sequel.
- Gian Maria Volonté did not speak English and required a translator on set.
- For the film, the set designer Carlo Simi built the town of El Paso in Spain. Director and screenwriter Sergio Leone later filmed it in his 1966 Western, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." The town still stands today and is now known as "Mini-Hollywood."
- Although Eastwood's poncho was never washed during the production of the Dollars Trilogy, it was periodically hemmed and patched. In the final scene of this film, Eastwood's character is shot several times with a Winchester rifle, leaving several holes in the poncho. In this movie, Clint wears the poncho backward, and the patches over the bullet holes are clearly visible in some scenes.
- Ennio Morricone began working on the film's music even before filming started, receiving precise instructions from Sergio Leone, who often filmed his movies directly to the music.
- Gian Maria Volonté did not speak English, and he required an interpreter on set.
- The entire film was shot without sound; therefore, Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef returned to Italy after filming to record their lines, and sound effects were added to the movie later.
- At the beginning of the film, in the platform scene, Lee Van Cleef's character tears down a poster of Guy that has two zeros drawn onto it. However, when the same poster is slid under the door of the saloon, the drawn zeros are gone.
- Sergio Leone originally wanted Lee Marvin to play Douglas Mortimer.
- For the film, production designer Carlo Simi built the town of El Paso in Spain. Director and screenwriter Sergio Leone later filmed there for the 1966 Western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." The town still stands today and is now known as "Mini-Hollywood."
- The character Aldo Sambrella is named Coheilio. This is an English transcription of the Spanish word “cuchillo,” which means “knife”.
- Ennio Morricone began working on the film's music even before filming began, receiving detailed instructions from Sergio Leone, who often shot his films directly to the music.
- The phrase “Alive or dead, you’re coming with me!” and the trick of putting a pistol in a holster were used in the RoboCop film.
- Screenwriter and director Sergio Leone did not want to film a sequel to the Western "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), but the "Jolly Film" studio refused to pay for the filming of "A Fistful of Dollars" until he agreed to make a sequel.
- During filming, Sergio Leone constantly felt that Gian Maria Volonté was acting too "theatrically," and he repeatedly filmed numerous takes of the same scene simply to tire out the actor and exhaust him. Once, Volonté even left the set in anger, but filming was taking place in the middle of the desert, he couldn't leave, so he returned to filming, but vowed never to appear in Westerns again.
- Despite the fact that Eastwood's poncho was never washed during the production of the Dollar Trilogy, it was periodically darned and patched. In the final scene of this film, Eastwood's character is shot several times with a Winchester, and consequently, several holes remain in the poncho. In this film, Clint wears the poncho backwards, and the patches covering the bullet holes are clearly visible in some scenes.
- Henry Fonda and Jack Palance were both considered for the role of Colonel Douglas Mortimer.
- According to Lee Van Cleef, he drew his revolver from its holster faster than Clint Eastwood.
- The Man with No Name calls himself Monco. From Italian, “Monco” translates to “one-handed,” which is quite logical considering the character’s habit of fighting, drinking, smoking, etc., with his left hand, while his right hand is always on the pistol hidden under his poncho.
- The entire film was shot without sound, so Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef returned to Italy after filming to record their lines, and sound effects were added to the film.
- Screenwriter and director Sergio Leone offered the role of Colonel Mortimer to actor Henry Fonda, but he declined. Leone made the same offer to Charles Bronson, who was not interested, and to Lee Marvin, who also refused because he had just agreed to appear in Elliot Silverstein's western 'Cat Ballou' (1965). Only then did Leone turn to Lee Van Cleef, who had not appeared in a movie since the western 'The War Wagon' (John Ford, Henry Hathaway, George Marshall, Richard Thorpe, 1962), although he had been working in television. The actor initially thought he was being offered a role for only a few scenes and was very surprised to find that was not the case.

The actor initially thought he was being offered a role in a few scenes and was very surprised to find that this was not the case.
