I know the trilogy is looked on as a masterpiece, but fuck me didn't Leone drag some of those sequences out.

For example, the bit in Fistful where the mexican army gets betrayed while trying to swap rifles for gold. It's like the They Live alley fight.

I thought that was the point

I love the audacity of how long he keeps that final showdown going in The G/B/U.

Fair enough that sort of thing for a finale.

But not scattered all over the movies. Like what feels like five solid minutes of the main villain laughing over and over while one of the protagonists gets punched and kicked all round the place, picked up and then punched again, each time falling over or through yet another piece of furniture. A filmmaker tried that shit now, all the reviewers would roast them for unnecessary padding.

I can forgive Cleef's hat getting shot along the ground, because it's funny.

Eli Wallach has to work about 10x harder than the others in that film

And he's no uglier than Van Cleef. I suppose "The Scoundrel" doesn't have the same ring.

Shave, combed hair and a suit and he was quite dapper

Can't remember who described it as

'The good, who isn't really that good, the bad, who doesn't seem much worse than a lot of other characters in the movie, and someone who isn't ugly'

Yes Eli Wallach really earns his money.

The 'ecstasy of gold' sequence works well for me and the conversation with his brother.
