Audience Member One of the best movies of my childhood... My brother and I still use the term "duck you sucker!" Amazing cast... Great musical score by the master of Spaghetti Westerns... 5 sticks of dynamite!! 🧨 🧨 🧨 🧨 🧨 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Egg H Having watched Sergio Leone's excellent Dollars Trilogy with Clint Eastwood, and then his Once Upon a Time in the West with Charles Bronson, I decided to try his Fistful of Dynamite with James Coburn. This might be my favorite Sergio Leone movie. It's more graphic and more emotional in many ways than the other movies. So I didn't watch it with my 11 year old boy. MY OTHER CONCLUSION is that these 5 Sergio Leone movies are better than every other western that I've watched. I watched The Magnificent Seven, High Plains Drifter, etc. All good movies but lacking that something special which Sergio Leone brings to movie making. His movies have so much more feeling, grit and art. Just great movies. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Bill T Love James Coburn. A great action film and I highly recommend this film....Bill Treakle Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 Another timeless classic for Sergio Leone. Not quite as good as the first movie or 3rd but still a good watch. Tim Treakle Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Chief B Another Sergio Leone masterpiece. A bit unknown even I didn't know this movie but a must see for people who love the dollar trilogy and once upon a time in the west and of course once upon a time in america. This movie also goes by the title " once upon a time in the revolution" and some see this masterpiece as one of the once upon a time movies as a trilogy. This movie also goes by Leone's preferred title "duck you sucker". Perhaps the different titles make this movie less known. Go see it!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Peter S In a few words, Serge Leone brilliant. His last directed and most politically overt film. No Clint Eastwood or Lee Van Cleef. I love those actors in Spagetti Westerns, but what Steiger and Colburn do in this movie is a modern marvel. All the emotions of war, revolution, civil unrest, criminal proclivities/motives, family bonds/family meanings, racial conflicts, are explored. These characters are malignant, yet made very human and demonstrating clear humanity. Self interest leading to heroism and back again. Back and forth, with seamless transitions. The interplay of opposing perspectives- marvelous, outstanding. What else can I say? Some may see this film as dated and lacking technical achievement. I have never since, in any movie, viewed the issues and subjects presented here done so well. No wonder Leone wanted to go out as a director with this film. It is not only overlooked; the movie is this superstar director's crowning achievement. Bravo!!!! Now I will see if in 2024, DUNE: PART 2 can come even close to this simple Spagetti Western's effectiveness given the latter's SCI-Fi context and modern technical effects.
