A Fistful of Dollars launched the spaghetti Western and catapulted Clint Eastwood to stardom. Based on Akira Kurosawa's 1961 samurai picture Yojimbo, it scored a resounding success (in Italy in 1964 and the U.S. in 1967), as did its sequels, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The advertising campaign promoted Eastwood's character--laconic, amoral, dangerous--as the Man with No Name (though in the film he's clearly referred to as Joe), and audiences loved the movie's refreshing new take on the Western genre. Gone are the pieties about making the streets safe for women and children. Instead it's every man for himself. Striking, too, was a new emphasis on violence, with stylized, almost balletic gunfights and baroque touches such as Eastwood's armored breastplate. The Dollars films had a marked influence on the Hollywood Western--for example, Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch--but their most enduring legacy is Clint Eastwood himself. --Edward Buscombe

 Yojimbo May 31, 2008

If you think this is good, you should check out Akira Kurosawa's 1961 samurai picture "Yojimbo."
 An Enjoyable Western Flick May 23, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The movie is a well done, well figured out western flick. From the deserts of the old west to the border towns of mexico, the man with no name has to all these places. But he has never met a greater rival than Ramon from San Miguel. With the great shoot outs to the unforgettable catch fraises. This is one of the best spaghetti westerns of all time. Now I don't wanna lie this movie all dubbed over but thought was put into that aspect of the film. So if you can find this movie in the bargain bin pick it up its worth the X number of dollars
 Good Movie Bad Dvd July 3, 2004
This is in my opinion the best in the man with no name series.
But The good, the bad, and the ugly got the animorphic widescreen extended treatment. This movie deserves to get better treatment on dvd, for Eastwood fans. Heck, the whole trilogy could use an overhaul and then the lousy minimal box set they already put out would be obsolete. The second film For a Few Dollars More also deserves to be remastered. I don't care what people say for me clint was the best of the gunslingers in the history of hollywood, (move over john wayne) and made the best westerns, other than John Ford's Masterpiece stagecouch.
first of it's kind June 25, 2004
Sergio Leone's A fistful of Dollars, is a great film to watch.
The opening titles jump at you and the music by Ennio Morricone
Is worth owning as well if you can get it.This film shows Clint Eastwood in his best role to date I think,A bounty hunter.this alone made me want to watch this movie.Though the movie Clint fights of bandits with the legendary QUICK draw, which he is best at....this movie is the first of the classic "dollars" trilogy.once you watch this you will love spaghetti westerns.
thanks.
Great movie...Good DVD June 23, 2004
Without a doubt this movie is classic. This movie is the first in wonderful series of movies by Sergio Leone starring Clint Eastwood as the "Man with no name"(even though he had a name in all three movies). This movie is just fantastic from start to finish. My only problem is that the transfer to dvd was good but not great. It does include a behind the scenes booklet with a ton of facts and notes and the original trailer is a nice touch. Even though there are no special features on the disc, the movie looks and sounds great and you DO get more than you pay for.
