:56:02
"Aim for the heart, Ramón. "
This comes up later in the film.
:56:05
Ramón with his Winchester '73,
a fantastic shot.
:56:10
Obviously, good shooting
to create this heart shape.
:56:13
But that will come up later.
"Aim for the heart, Ramón",
:56:16
will become the catchphrase
of the end of the film.
:56:31
A Mexican proverb
invented for this movie.
:56:33
"When a man with a. 45 meets a man with
a rifle, the man with a rifle will be dead. "
:56:38
The man with no name, Joe the stranger,
:56:41
will disprove this old Mexican proverb
in style in the final sequence of the film,
:56:46
by pitting his. 45
against the rifle of Ramón.
:56:54
The Anglo sidekick of Ramón
is played by Benito Steffanelli,
:56:58
an interesting Italian actor who was
also the co-stunt director of the film,
:57:05
and became the armourer and
stunt director of Leone's films.
:57:08
Quite a lot of characters
in this film represent the assembling
:57:12
of a kind of repertory company for Leone.
:57:15
Mario Brega as the overweight baddie,
:57:19
Benito Steffanelli as the stunt man,
Morricone with the music.
:57:24
This is the establishment of a home team
:57:27
that Leone would work with in the future,
over and over and over again.
:57:31
Various Spanish actors
pop up in the background.
:57:34
Aldo Sambrell,
who is in this film as a baddie,
:57:37
plays a baddie in
nearly all Leone's Westerns.
:57:41
So he's assembling a crew that he will
work with in future, Spanish and Italian.
:57:46
And in this case, American as well,
:57:48
because a member of the Baxter clan,
the gunman who wears the green shirt,
:57:53
was played by Bill Thomkins,
who was in fact Eastwood's stunt double
:57:57
that he brought over
from the United States.
:57:59
So Bill Thomkins appears
as one of the Baxter gunmen.
