Its worth a few dollars more for this kinda stuff

The sequel to 'A fistful of Dollars' is far superior to its predecessor: better plot, better score and better character relationships. However, it is still inferior to the third installment - 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly', which remains quite possibly the best western ever committed to celluloid.

This film was made a shoestring budget and this is clearly apparent from the first scene, however the performances from Eastwood and Van Cleef make this low budget thriller an absolutely must see for any self-respecting film fan. Eastwood is the bounty hunter 'with no name', while Van Cleef is the old Major. Both are now bounty hunters due to lack of funds and both are hunting the same prey - a particularly nasty mexican bandit (kinski). They decide to form an unsavoury partnership and pursue the bandit. Thus ensues a classic battle of wits and bullets in which many a man 'bites the dust'. However, Van Cleefs motive for seeking the bandit is very different to Eastwoods.......

Sergio Leone has once again done himself proud with a fine piece of cinema and it bears all the characteristics of a spaghetti western - bad dubbing, superb score and brilliant set pieces, while still managing to be unique from its imitators.
