Jay W This movie marks a unique marriage of serious grounded western action and the zany hijinks of more oddball comedies. At this point, Sergio Leone had already made his most influential and subversive westerns of all time with the "Dollars Trilogy", and "Once Upon a Time in the West", starring Henry Fonda. On the other side, Enzo Barboni had made a comedic Western trilogy, the "Trinity Trilogy" starring Terrence Hill. The pairing of these two icons from two very different kinds of westerns leads to a very peculiar movie. Terrence Hill plays "Nobody" in a very similar way to his character of "Trinity" in Barboni's trilogy. Throughout the film he is trying to persuade Henry Fonda's Jack Beaurgard to challenge "The Wild Bunch". Not to be confused with the Wild Bunch from the 1969 film. The things that help make this film stand out from the mountains of Westerns out there are the comedy, the character of Nobody and the sheer size of the final battle. The Wild Bunch is a group of about 150 outlaws, and there are camera shots where you see all of the horsemen riding across the horizon together. It is a sight to be seen. In all the westerns I've seen, I have never seen a final gang as large as the Wild Bunch in this movie. It is a cool showdown, and they do it in such a way that I could believe the results. The film has a very dry, and very odd sense of humor. Some of the jokes work, the way Nobody hi-jacks a train is hilarious. But more often than not, the jokes are shot and paced in such a way that its unclear what is meant to be a joke. A lot of humor comes down to the timing, and the timing of this film is just a bit off. Understand comedy is a subjective thing, but most did not work for me. The movie also could have been about 15 minutes shorter. Overall, this movie is a bit of a mixed bag. It is a high stake explosive Western and a strange offbeat comedy. If you are in the mood for both of those at once, this is the film for you. Surely that combination is for somebody, even if their name is Nobody.

A movie worthy of re-watching again and again 👍👍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Dane W this movie is my favorite westen of all time Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review TWMax65 Ennio Morricone makes music that is PERFECT in every film he collaborated on. His scores bring tears to my eyes with how beautiful they are and I hope he rests in eternal peace and joy. The rest of the movie is okay I guess, with some parts with really epic shots and good directing. Some parts were a little too silly, over the top, and pointless though. By the end however it wrapped itself up nicely with how it concluded the story and archs between the two main characters. Spaghetti westerns need a comeback with how much they're appreciated and thankfully Tarantino has tried his best to pay tribute to them in his films. I'm glad I kept watching this movie to the end!
