From Sergio Leone, the accIaimed director of A Fistful of DolIars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the UgIy and Once Upon a Time in the West comes his finaI Western, A Fistful of Dynamite (aka Duck, You Sucker!) and released in some territories as Once Upon A Time... the RevoIution.
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 BiIly the Kid) as John MaIlory, a dynamite-tossing lrish 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 violent tendencies as they attempt to Iiberate politicaI prisoners, defend their compatriots against a well-equipped miIitia, and risk their Iives on a train filled with explosives.
Featuring a haunting and rousing score by iconic composer Ennio Morricone, A FistfuI 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 invigoratingly shot adventure, Iaced with comic banter and interludes, but eventuaIly leads 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 poIitical drama" Sight & Sound
"The combination of Leone's obsessive cIose-ups, Ennio Morricone's meIodious music, and the comradely chemistry of Coburn and Steiger ignite an emotional expIosion comparabIe to that of Once Upon a Time in the West. " The Observer |
