Seriously? Ok, you can remedy that right now. Someone was kind enough to upload full movie on youtube about 4 months ago. Not only is it the full movie, it's the extended edition with 20 mins of deleted scenes added back in.

Yup i know. I thought they were filmed in Itay, but was surprised to learn they were filmed in spain. There's actualy a 20 min documentary on this.




Can anyone tell I spend a lot of time on youtube?

Spain in some regions is very similar with the american desert/ frontier with mexico, so it was a natural location to do the spaghetti westerns. Closer to Italy also.
In Italy the similar landscape to the old wild west may be only in the South, in Sicily, but possibly Spain was more cheap to film there at that time.

semi-related, but "Django Unchained", Tarantino's "Spaghetti Western" is heavily influenced by the masters, including using the same Morricone music....



used in "Two Mules for sister Sara", among others...

I also thought they were made in Itlay ...

I just happened to be in Spain when they were filmed, out of Rota, Spain for four patrols on an FBM submarine in the late 60's and early 70's
and with 90 days to spare our blue crew even watched these same movies while on patrol.

We had Clint Eastwood all day movies on Saturday along with pop corn and ice cream.

The good ole days

Yes!

I liked Django. Great film, Cristoph Waltz is phenominal.

I heard him (Tarantino) on a radio show and he cited this movie (Good bad and the ugly) as a major influence on his vision.

Quentin used the same fast closeups as the old spaghetti westerns too. Pulp Fiction has alot of the same camera shots as well, though not as obvious as Django.
I am glad you brought that up. It is amazing how a cheap throwaway movie (as it was at the time) became a massive influence to later generations.

No one said Clint Eastwood yet...He was great in this film.

That'll take up a bit on my download, and probably annoy my parents...

I'll watch it at school!
