A Fistful of Dollars	comment	A Fistful of Dollars is the 1964 Italian (and originally unauthorized) Spaghetti Western remake of the Japanese film Yojimbo, which itself was allegedly inspired by the novel Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett. It's the first in what's known as The Dollars Trilogy by Western fans, and was followed by For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.The Man With No Name (played by Clint Eastwood and called "Joe" by the coffin maker) wanders into a small poverty-stricken town on the Mexican border dominated by two feuding crime gangs, the Rojos and the Baxters, and he decides to play the clans against each other, ostensibly so that he can profit from their conflict. The opportunity arises in the form of a Mexican shipment of gold passing through the town. However, his sympathies for Marisol, a hostage of the Rojos gang, leads to a change in plans with near-fatal consequences for the Man With No Name.The gunfight at the end is the most famous part of the film. Back to the Future Part III directly homages it, among many other Shout-Outs to this movie.A novelization was written by Frank Chandler.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_122e956a	type	One Bullet Left
A Fistful of Dollars / int_122e956a	comment	One Bullet Left: Joe has one bullet left in his six-shooter, while Ramon has one bullet in a rifle. Joe might have been lucky, but considering how badass he is, he was probably just that good. The point was that both of them have one bullet, but they have to load their weapons of choice first. And Joe's six shooter is faster to load than Ramon's rifle, even when Joe's hand is not fully healed.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_237404cc	comment	Ironic Echo: While the nameless Stranger is comparing weapons with Ramon, Ramon praises his rifle, to which the Stranger replies that he'd prefer his .45. Ramon replies, "When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man. That's an old Mexican Proverb... and it's true." Later on during the final showdown, the Stranger repeats those words to Ramon, and says "Let's see if that's true." Of course, the words don't hold up, and Ramon is killed. Twice through the movie, Joe is described as being "in the middle" between the Rojos and Baxters, which he considers ripe for opportunity. At the end, while both gangs are wiped out, Joe ruefully notes that now he's "in the middle" between the approaching Mexican and US government forces. This time, however, he considers it too dangerous and hightails it out of town before they arrive.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_25afd4a3	comment	Good Guns, Bad Guns: "The Man With No Name" (good) carries a Colt Single Action Army revolver (particularly, the "Artillery" model with a shorter barrel which is better for Quick Drawing), one of the most classic "good" guns of the Old West. RamÃ³n Rojo, the primary antagonist, prefers his rifle, a Winchester 1892. It's more accurate at a distance, holds more rounds, and RamÃ³n at one point utters the now-famous page quote to "The Man". In the climax, knowing RamÃ³n's calling card is to always aim for the heart, "The Man" crafts a chest protector out of an old boiler plate, wears it under his trademark poncho, and takes the hits until RamÃ³n's rifle is out of ammo. After taking out RamÃ³n's henchmen, "The Man" moves into close range and gives RamÃ³n a final chance to test his quote. "The Man" wins easily.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_2a195285	comment	Revolvers Are Just Better: Ramon attempts to defy this in the page quote. It doesn't go well. The movie really plays with the trope, though. Joe doesn't win the shootout because his revolver is inherently better than Ramon's rifle. He wins because he utilizes his weapon's strengths to exploit the weaknesses of Ramon's (the revolver is slightly quicker and easier to reload and aim, and the close range nullifies the rifle's greater long-distance accuracy).

A Fistful of Dollars / int_4f84cdef	comment	Ramon's henchmen is a Smug Snake when he's about to kill Marisol's husband, and he maintains that look when getting ready to kill Silvanito for protecting him. However, he is clearly on the verge of shitting his pants when Joe steps up behind Silvanito and backs him up. Joe gives him a Death Glare, and the man very slowly moves his hand well away from his gun.

Chico is talking with Vincente about how fun it'll be to watch Joe even though there's a shot of both their dead bodies amidst the remains of a giant barrel Joe had rolled at them, and the sound of the barrel rolling and Chico screaming right before being smashed can be heard after the fact, as Joe's crawling out of the storeroom (for some reason, the US theatrical cut was done slightly differently than the UK theatrical cut but used the same audio as the UK theatrical cut). Played straight in the scenes with the little boy crying, where the dubbing is incredibly obvious.

Sort of a justified trope as in an early scene, Joe calls out Ramon for not doing a head shot during a practice shoot. Ramon believes that to really kill a man you must aim for the heart. Joe counted on it and called him on it during the aforementioned bulletproof vest scene. There's also the fact that at the time, a truly bulletproof vest was almost unheard of. Also justified in that, even for an expert marksman with high-end modern sniper gear, headshots are actually really, really hard to pull off. Aiming for the heart means that even if you miss, you've likely hit something in the chest/torso, which is packed with important organs.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_b02f21f	comment	Digital Destruction: It's gotten to the point where the best version is a hodgepodge between the Italian Ripley's Blu-ray (complete image plus the original colors and the original Italian mono audio track, but a lossy original English mono audio track) and the American Kino Lorber Blu-ray (slightly cropped with excessive yellows, but more image than the MGM Blu-ray, and features the original English opening and closing titles plus a lossless original English mono audio track). While the Italian and German releases use a color scheme that hews closer to what was originally seen in theatres, they differ in image quality and the quality of the included original English mono track, with the German Blu-ray featuring a slightly inferior color scheme leaning a bit too closely towards red and the Italian Blu-ray having its original English mono track in a lossy format. The MGM Blu-ray is the worst of the lot, featuring a heavily-cropped image throughout, somewhat muddied colors, and an English mono track which is simply a fold-down from the 5.1 remix. The Kino Lorber Blu-ray, as mentioned before, leans heavily on the yellow side, but shows more image than the MGM Blu-ray (if slightly less than the Italian and German Blu-rays), and what it lacks in image quality, it more than makes up for by including the original English mono track in a lossless format, taken from an original 35mm/16mm print with an optical soundtrack.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_e4965307	type	Composite Character
A Fistful of Dollars / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: The Baxters (led by town's sheriff) and the Rojos are stated to be directly in charge of the businesses in the town, unlike in Yojimbo, where the gangs have the mayor and a rival business owner of his in their pockets for the sake of appearances. As such, Ramon directly takes ownership of Marisol for the Damsel in Distress subplot, unlike his Japanese counterpart who pawned her off to one of the merchants.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: The entire cast of the film are based on the characters from Yojimbo, to the point where it resulted in a lawsuit. Several Yojimbo characters have no clear counterpart in A Fistful of Dollars: Inokichi, Tazaemon the silk merchant, Tokuemon the sake brewer, and Hachi and Kuma, the two thugs sent to kill the country inspector.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_e567510d	comment	Determinator: After finding out Joe was responsible for getting Marisol and her family out of the town, RamÃ³n has Joe beaten to a bloody pulp. Yet he was still able to not only make it out of the room he was locked into alive, but also was able to take a few more henchmen down.

A Fistful of Dollars / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When feigning an intention to make peace with the Baxters, the Rojos, especially RamÃ³n, do a little too well. RamÃ³n's sudden friendliness and politeness towards John Baxter and his wife sets off alarm bells in Mrs. Baxter's head, and sure enough, after they've returned home from the dinner Joe breaks into their mansion to let them know exactly why the Rojos wanted to make peace all of a sudden. As it so happens, a cavalry rode through town, and RamÃ³n had the whole cavalry massacred, except for two soldiers who somehow managed to flee to the town cemetery. Fearing an investigation, RamÃ³n then decided to keep things peaceful between the families just long enough for the investigation to officially clear the Rojos of any involvement in the massacre.

It's only when he tries to do something nice by helping Marisol and her family escape that the bad guys get wise to him...

How he contracted pneumonia in the film is never expanded upon, but in the novelization, Silvanito explains rather crossly that he had cut himself on a rusted tin.

The family is so damn thankful, Joe practically has to shoo them in order for them to leave. And with good reason: dire consequences would befall both if they don't.
