1:06:00
The gleeful laughing of the boys as they
punch him around. It's pure sadism.
1:06:07
Hurting him because they enjoy it,
not just because they want to hurt him.
1:06:11
Stubbing out the cigar
on his hand, that was missing
1:06:15
from most prints in the 1960s
cos it was thought too strong.
1:06:18
Pouring tequila onto his wounds.
That was also cut by the British censor.
1:06:26
And it does go on for a very long time.
1:06:28
Like a Marlon Brando style
beating-up, in On The Waterfront.
1:06:32
That urban violence rather than
the traditional punch-up of the Western,
1:06:36
where you break a chair over someone's
head, laugh, and John Wayne goes home.
1:07:00
"In a week, you'll be back in shape. "
It would take about three months.
1:07:05
And there's still more to come.
1:07:16
And at this moment, Chico the thug,
1:07:19
played by Mario Brega,
brings his heel down on Eastwood's hand.
1:07:23
Only it's his left hand,
so Chico isn't bright enough
1:07:26
to bring his heel down
on Eastwood's gun hand.
1:07:29
Instead, he does this to his left hand,
1:07:31
which isn't going to affect his gunfighting
abilities. Chico ain't that bright.
1:07:39
In Leone's cinema, there's
a lot of sequences involving torture
1:07:43
and, "Will someone talk,
will someone betray?"
1:07:47
Leone reckoned that
his obsession with that kind of setup,
1:07:50
the Eli Wallach scene in
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,
1:07:54
the Doctor Villega scene in Giù La Testa,
A Fistful of Dynamite, Duck You Sucker,
1:07:58
someone being punished,
and will they betray?
