    If I was asked to make a "Section 31" film I think I'd just do A Fistful of Dynamite/Gisu, La Testa/Duck, You Sucker! on a fringe world between the Klingons and Romulans, have the Bandits all by Klingons and Sean be an ex-starfleet guy on the run after he joined a revolutionary group in the triangle

    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... by like a lot. I watched the Dollars Trilogy in order and I love all those movies. A Fistful of Dollars feels very low budget at certain points, including one of the worst day for night edits I've ever seen, but overall it's a damn good 9/10 Yojimbo ripoff. For a Few Dollars More is straigt up one of the best movies I have ever seen, an easy 10/10. It's a full blown high budget movie that just shocked me when I saw it for the first time, I was amazed how good…

    Duck, You Sucker! AKA, A Fistful of Dynamite (1971, 1080p) - Another Zapata Western, but this time directed by a more experienced Sergio Leone.. So I finally got around to watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly trilogy for the first time, and ultimately came away slightly underwhelmed. I did enjoy the cinematography, and it does ooze bad-assery, but the slow pacing was a little too much for me at times. I decided to see what an older, more experienced Sergio Leone would do to improve on his…

    The Sergio Leone film Fistful of Dynamite was hobbled initially because Leone was convinced that "Duck You Sucker" was a common American term & had his leading man say it all the time. Was even the initial title of the film. Everyone desperately tried to talk him out of it but he wouldn't be budged

    If you want to hear a really cool, weird and experimental movie soundtrack, Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Giu La Testa/Duck, You Sucker!/A Fistful of Dynamite is one of my all-time favorite movie soundtracks. I loved it long before I ever saw the movie (which is also good). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNObdymy4C-qljdoxG6NTGAXB6BZ_d9oK

    DUCK, YOU SUCKER! is surely one of Sergio Leone's most peculiar films. Rod Steiger and James Coburn seem to have beamed into the film from different planets and yet they have undeniable chemistry. It also sports some of Morricone's weirdest music. Recommended!

    Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 23, 1984. This third installment in his Once Upon a Time trilogy (preceded by 1968's Once Upon a Time in the West and 1971's Duck, You Sucker!) was his first directorial effort (in 13 years) and also his last.
