And now, for the first time, this epic masterpiece from director Sergio Leone has been restored to its full glory with 18 minutes of rarely seen footage! Clint Eastwood returns as the invincible "Man With No Name", this time teaming with two gunslingers (Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach) to pursue a fortune in stolen gold. But teamwork doesn't come naturally to such strong-willed outlaws. And they soon discover that their greatest challenge may be to stay focused - and stay alive - in a country ravaged by war. Forging a vibrant yet detached style of action that had not been seen before, and has never been matched since. The Good The Bad And The Ugly shatters the western mould in true Clint Eastwood style! Special Features: Newly Restored Master And Upgraded To 5.1 Sound, >>5
A Classic! Review ofThe Good Bad And The Ugly DVDby

Advantages: Brilliant acion packed war western Disadvantages: None!
...was already 2/3 way through the dollars trilogy. With ' Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il ' completing it. Since it was released in 1966 it has shocked, inspired and entertained the public, film critics and movie makers alike. Sergio Leone captured the fantastic elements he used in the other two dollars films ( Per un pugno di dollari - A Fistful Of Dollars, Per un pugno di dollari - For A Few Dollars More) and organized a perfect story that is superbly ... ...stone as being icons to the genre, mainly in the case of Van Cleef.
The Characters
We open with an introduction of all 3 main characters.
The first 'The Ugly - Tuco' played magnificently by Eli Wallach. For a lot Eli has said to have stolen the show with his brute, peasant portrayal of Tuco. And captured such comedic lines as his character. Bringing some relief in high tension moments. As just someone that the average person can relate to.

...realised this should be under The Good The Bad and The Ugly Special Edition release - REALLY SORRY!! Set against the backdrop of the US Civil War, the final part of the 'dollars' spaghetti western trilogy, Sergio Leone's masterpiece is quite simply one the greatest pieces of work ever committed to film, both visually and audibly, with composer Ennio Morricone providing one of the most famous film scores of all time.
... ...For a Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad and The Ugly (GBU from now on), was filmed partly in Rome, for the studio shots, and partly in Almeria, Southern Spain, for the panoramic shots.
Naturally I don't wish to give the plot away but suffice to say, it's as mad as a slinky.
The film revolvs around three main characters, The Good - "Blondie" played by Clint Eastwood, The Bad "Angel Eyes" played by Lee van Cleef and The Ugly - "Tuco" played by the ...

...with no name' who is The Good. Van Cleef plays Angel Eyes, who is The Bad and Wallach plays Tuco who is The Ugly.
The film begins with Blondie turning in Tuco, a bandit, for the reward and riding away. It turns out to be a scam they run, with Blondie using his rifle to shoot through the rope when Tuco is getting hung. This opening part of the film is about ten minutes long and has no dialogue.
The rest of the story is played out during the American ... ...a very brutal Civil War. The final face-off between the main characters is very dramatic and almost comical. Throughout the film the musical score of Ennio Morricone mirrors the emotion of the scenes. This is a newly restored, extended version with the option of a commentary by a film historian. The additional scenes were voiced over by Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach, but Lee Van Cleef had died and another actor was used. A second disc includes featurettes, ...

Advantages: Strong main character and solid storyline Disadvantages: Possibly dated to a younger audience
...brings a special talent to the table in this film, he has an incredible knack to be able to pull off 'the man with no name' character to great effect. However this film is very much like Eastwood's other western films but if you are looking for a tough guy western shoot em up then you can't go wrong with the best. i highly recommend this film, don't be put off from the eighteen rating as there is very little swearing to be heard and a tiny amount ...

Advantages: Fine performances; and storyline Disadvantages: None
It is definitely one of the best movies, I have ever seen. With the american civil war as the background, three bounty killers set out to take into their possession, a large sum of money which was buried in a grave by a dead soldier. Circumstances bring them together and they strike an agreement as Clint Eastwood alone knows where the money is.
Clint Eastwood is instrumental in his performance. There are many power packed dialogues, which linger ... ...several funny imprecations. The background music has become history. The scene where Clint Eastwood blows a bridge is dealt with beautifully. There are some funny instances where Clint Eastwood becomes a prisoner of the Union forces for appearing in a confederate uniform. The movie is full of surprises.
All in all a great movie to watch. ...

DVD Description
The culmination of Leone's renowned "Dollars" series of spaghetti westerns that includes A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964) and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965). Set during the Civil War, this wagonload of grit carries three desperados whose squinting eyes are fixed on a Confederate treasure. While dodging authorities, the Good (Eastwood) the Bad (Van Kleef) and the Ugly (Wallach) keep busy by stabbing each other firmly in the back hoping to beat the others to the gold. The climax comes with the gripping stand-off at the cemetery. A typical Leone picture with brooding vistas, leisurely langorous pacing, operatic violence and a haunting score from Morricone.
