Clint Eastwood
Spaghetti Western #3
Synopsis: Two
guys who really don’t like each other must join forces to bring a bad
guy to justice. Oh wait...that’s sounds like 48 Hours...or Tango and Cash...or Rush Hour, or any buddy cop film ever
made.
Blurb From the VHS
Jacket: “With bank hold-ups, hair-splitting jail escapes, and
suspense-filled showdowns, FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE is a non-stop action-packed
drama; a Western that delivers a mighty wallop in the inimitable Clint Eastwood
way.”
What Did I Learn?:
If you’re going to shoot a rival’s hat down the street in order to intimidate
him into leaving town, you might want to keep track of how many
bullets you’ve fired.

Movie If: You pine for the days when bounty hunters were still sort-of cool.
Really?: 1) So
wait...Indio (the bad guy) lets our heroes out of his dungeon with unloaded
guns, and then kills a couple of his own men because...I’m still not too clear
on that one. 2) Was it necessary to keep replaying that creepy pocket-watch
music?
Rating: Film aficionados
often claim that The Good, the Bad and
the Ugly is the finest Eastwood Spaghetti Western ever made, but I dunno –
for my money, For a Few Dollars More
is just as fun and exciting as TGTBATU, and Lee Van Cleef’s Colonel Mortimer is
one of the coolest bad-ass characters to ever grace the silver screen – in fact,
he totally upstages Clint. Highly recommended. 9/10 stars.
