AKA Duck You Sucker. Giù la testa. Once Upon a Time in the Revolution.
"Listen, Firecracker. Now you listen to me. Listen, why don't you come with me, eh? And we will work together and we will become rich!"
Mexico during the revolution and Juan (Rod Steiger), a bandit leader, meets up with John Mallory (James Coburn), an IRA explosives expert on the run from the British. Juan hatches a plan to use John's talents to raid the bank of Mesa Verde, but John wants to put his talents at the services of the revolutionaries.
A big budget, epic western, dealing in grand concepts, as well as how they effect family, and Leone's last due to its failure at the box office. Not on a par with the Dollar trilogy, this is never the less an entertaining western, with a political message, unfortunately overshadowed by the greatness of his previous efforts.
