The Clint Eastwood Gift Set (A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)

Rating: 5 - Clint Eastwood: The Man With No Name - A Trilogy
Clint Eastwood is the "man with no name." Italian director Sergio Leone directed what many believe are to be the Top 3 films of all time! Beginning with "A Fistful of Dollars" (copied from the Japanese samurai film "Yo Jimbo") Clint Eastwood rides into a town with two bosses. "For A Few Dollars More" betters on the first. Includes Lee Van Cleef as supporting actor. Two Bounty Killers team up to kill a common foe: One wronged by Indio, the head bank robber. "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" is the best of the lot, complete with a haunting musical score by Ennio Morricone. Who could forget the shrilling cry in the opening credits? "Ahh-ee-ahh-ee-iii! Wa...Wa...Wa..." The collaboration of Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone is what makes these films work. "Spaghetti Westerns" don't waste time with the conventional "cowboys and indians." They focus more on the loners, the gunslingers, the bandits. This DVD Trilogy is the DEFINITIVE COLLECTION. Includes original theatrical trailers, bonus footage, behind the scenes, and much, much more! For more film/music greats look for Leone and Morricone collaborating on "Once Upon A Time in the West" (starring Charles Bronson, Jason Robards, and Henry Fonda), "A Fistful of Dynamite" aka "Duck You Sucker" (James Coburn, and "Once Upon A Time In America" (Robert DeNiro, James Woods). These films are the best, the peak in Western Cinemas.

Rating: 5 - Unsung heroes, "unslung" guns
This will be one of my shortest reviews,as most has been said already.

I only wish to say that the TRUE wonder of the Spaghetti Westerns is that the real shining star is not CLINT, but the supporting actors.
Lee Van Cleef's determined sneer or Eli Wallach's comical over the top method acting (Mr. Wallach is from the same "school" as early Brando and Rod Steiger , delightfully nuts!). If your attention is not TOTALLY steered away from the enigmatic Clint performances to focus on the wonderful supporting cast who carry the movies, I think ya aint watching the movies in the "correct manner"! (smiles)

Fans of the trilogy should also find the wonderful and overlooked "Giu la Testa", (also called "A Fist Full of Dynamite" or "Duck You Sucker"), - Clint is not in the film, and replaced with delicious performances by James Coburn as an exiled Irish republican Army refugee and Steiger as a complete boffo Mexican bandito (with an accent that wavers and falters, the worst Gringoloco Spanish accent since Al Pacino's ridiculously funny Tony Montana faux-Cubano in Scarface, hehehehehe!)

The best thing about the movies is the beautiful Ennio Morricone soundtracks--without this special music, I dont think the full impact of these films would have been the same, Leone and Morricone were dead on gemios(twins), they were totally in one another's sphere of influence.

Enough said, case closed, story told 10000 stars!

Rating: 5 - Three of the best westerns ever.
This is a great package with three incredible movies. They're all very good westerns. Although it is a trilogy, the movies aren't very connected plot-wise. However, each can stand on its own very well. The DVD package comes with deleted scenes and trailers, which is very nice. Some of the scenes from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly help explain other parts of the movie better. Overall a great deal for any Clint Eastwood or Western genre fan.
