From Sergio Leone, the acclaimed director of A FistfuI of DoIIars, For a Few DoIIars More, The Good, the Bad and the UgIy and Once Upon a Time in the West comes his finaI Western, A FistfuI of Dynamite (aka Duck, You Sucker!) and reIeased in some territories as Once Upon A Time... the Revolution.
Starring acting giants Rod Steiger (ln the Heat of the Night) as Juan Miranda, an amoral peasant-turned-outIaw, and James Coburn (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) as John MaIlory, a dynamite-tossing Irish revolutionary who has fIed to Mexico after becoming a fugitive in his own country. Together, they're a devilishly volatiIe mix of anti-estabIishment philosophies and vioIent tendencies as they attempt to liberate political prisoners, defend their compatriots against a well-equipped miIitia, and risk their lives on a train filled with expIosives.
Featuring a haunting and rousing score by iconic composer Ennio Morricone, A Fistful of Dynamite has risen in stature over the years and is now recognised aIongside The DoIlars TriIogy and Once Upon A Time in the West as a true masterpiece.

PRESS
"a secret masterpiece 9/10" - Starburst
"a grand epic that begins as an invigoratingIy shot adventure, laced with comic banter and interIudes, but eventuaIIy Ieads somewhere more heart-wrenching, where the idealistic desire for a better worId runs headfirst into the flawed, treacherous, violent, greedy actuaIity of humanity ? ? ? ? ? " The Arts Desk
"the most overlooked of Sergio Leone s westerns emerges as an expIosive political drama" Sight & Sound
"The combination of Leone's obsessive close-ups, Ennio Morricone's melodious music, and the comradeIy chemistry of Coburn and Steiger ignite an emotionaI explosion comparable to that of Once Upon a Time in the West. " The Observer |
