- Interesting interplay between the two stars
This is the main reason to watch this spaghetti weatern, for me. The screenplay is pretty good too, and gives both actors plenty to chew on, especially the ever garrulous Mr Steiger. I like the real contrast of the two characters here, the laid back, laconic Irish rover of Coburn, against the fiery and arrogant Mexican bandit of Steiger. The friction between these two partners in convenience causes as much heat as their explosions. Leone's ambitious sweeping style makes this movie sag a little in the middle, but the novelty of the plot and the sizzling interplay between the two polar opposite personalities who mistrust and dislike each other but unite for sake of greed, make this movie worth staying with. I prefer it to one or two other Leone ... Read More:

- A Fistful of Duck You Sucker in the Revolotion
Gui La Testa,Keep your head down the original title for the movie.
After Once upon a time in the West Sergio Leone vowed not to make another Western however he took the directos job on this movie originaly only suposed to be a director.At the time there was big talk on Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone directing this but unfortunetly it never happed.Duck You Sucker is the story of IRA Terriost John Mallory and Duan Miranda a mexican peasent a badito.Played by James Coburn the actor who was in the original Magnificent Seven but barely had even 11 sentances in the movie aswell a few James Bond Spoof comedys called "Flint" Was chosen for this movie.Leone wanted him to star as the man with no name charcter in Fistful of Dollars but there wasnt ...

- Leone at his best
Once upon a time...The Revolution, as a reviewer puts it, is this films most appropriate title.
This film is a masterpiece, very different from the Eastwood 'Dollars' trilogy, refreshing, yet Leone through and through. The cinematography, gritty strong colour, the soundtrack, directing, brilliant.
Very political, and very real. As usual, we have violent scenes, classic scenes of surreal comedy and irony, drama and suspense, everything one expects from a Leone movie.
When I used to watch this film in my school and college days, I, along with friends paid attention to the 'classic' scenes and one liners throughout the movie, "I'm a citizen on the United States of America!...To me you're just a naked sonofabith.." etc. Watching ... Read More:

- Leone is too good
Another Leone gem of a film here. Originally called 'Once Upon A Time In the Revolution' it is part of the 'Once Upon A Time...' trilogy with the others being 'Once Upon A Time In America' and 'Once Upon A Time In The West'. Both of which are excellent.

This film starts off at a very slow pace and picks when Juan (Steiger) is in the back of a fancy wagon. The dialogue and camera shots in this scene are fantastic. The film steps up again when John (Coburn) arrives on the scene. From then on the film grips you, going from one scene to the next, and the final scene is fantastic, with Juan's (Steiger's) face darkened in a classic Leone shot.

Steiger is not very convincing and his accent is a bit annoying, but don't let ... Read More:
