Description

Sergio Leone directed this vibrant, violent, and sometimes, tongue-in-cheeck adventure set during the turbulence of the Mexican Revolution. Juan Miranda (Rod Steiger) is a Mexican peasant-turned bandit, who meets Irish explosives expert Sean Mallory (James Coburn). Together they plan to rob banks. Sean's pre-dynamiting cry is, "Duck, you sucker!" At the request of a revolutionary, Sean agrees to blast into a bank...but, to Juan's disgust, the "bank" is now a prison. The explosion frees the revolutionaries who were being held within. Sean and Juan are now heroes of the revolution! Government troops are hot on their trail. Juan is captured. At the moment before his execution, he hears a welcome cry -- "Duck, you sucker!" Sean has come to his rescue. Music by Ennio Morricone.

    For anyone reading the other reviews and wondering why it isn’t available for purchase - it is. Chances are you are looking at the HD version which is rental only. Cycle down to the bottom to change/see the SD version and it will be available for purchase. That is, if you’re willing to own this in SD. A crying shame that it isn’t available to buy in HD when it is is clearly an available option on here, as seen by the rental.
  • Come on iTunes 🙏🏻

  • Leone's Final Western - a classic!

    This is the full version of Leone’s final Western, Giù La Testa (1971) – also known as ‘Duck, You Sucker’, ‘A Fistful of Dynamite’, ‘Todesmelodie’, and 'Il était une fois la revolution' (Once Upon a Time, the Revolution). The film is now widely viewed as a classic but was originally mauled by many critics because of a badly re-edited version that was released in the US (omitting vital sections that explained the entire sub-plot and message of the movie)! Enjoy this superb film with one of Ennio Morricone’s most haunting scores. Also, the only spaghetti western to feature an Irish pub scene (filmed on location in ‘Toner’s’ pub, Dublin).
