comment
My Name Is Nobody (1973) is an Affectionate Parody of the Spaghetti Western, originally released in Italy as Il mio nome è Nessuno and starring Henry Fonda as an aging, legendary gunslinger named Jack Beauregard who wants nothing more than to retire in peace, and Terence Hill as "Nobody", a man who idolized Beauregard and wants to see him die in a blaze of glory fighting singlehanded against the infamous Wild Bunch.The film is directed by Tonino Valerii, who had previously made Day of Anger and The Price of Power, but Sergio Leone produced the film and directed several of its major scenes. It was a major hit in Europe, but flopped at the American box office. Leone also produced a loose sequel, Nobody's the Greatest (or A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe), directed by Damiano Damiani also starring Terence Hill.

The Trickster: Given his willingness to manipulate Jack and the Wild Bunch for his own entertainment, Nobody certainly qualifies.

Chekhov's Gun: Beauregard witnesses the Wild Bunch loading dynamite into their flashy saddle bags, exact replicas of Nobody's, which he comments can be seen for miles. Later, he uses this to kill at least half of the massive gang.

comment
Ascended Fanboy: Nobody is a young gunslinger who wants to help his idol become the ultimate legend among the gunmen of the West, by ending his career in big style. He even calls himself Nobody, so it could always be said that he did all the great feats of his final months with help from Nobody, and Nobody by his side. And that Nobody was able to kill him in a duel because Nobody can draw faster than him.

*Click* Hello: At the start of the movie, an outlaw posing as a barber prepares to kill Jack Beauregard when he hears a click...and notices Beauregard has his gun held against his crotch. He dutifully finishes the shave job.

Artistic License – History: The Wild Bunch was a real outlaw gang, but there was only 11 of them and in fact, the movie version has little to do with the real deal aside from the name.

Drinking Contest: The saloon scene features an unusual one. A participant had to drink four progressively smaller glasses of whiskey. After he finishes each drink, he has to toss the glass over his shoulder, draw, turn and shoot the glass before it hits the ground.

Invoked Trope: Nobody's M.O. It's not enough for an old west hero to just retire and live peacefully in Europe somewhere. He has to leave in style, leave an unmissable mark on the west for people to remember him and then be seen to die ironically and leave a snappy epitaph.

Improbable Aiming Skills: Jack is capable of shooting Nobody's hat 4 times from the hip, sending each bullet through the same hole. Made even more impressive when we see a first person view from Jack, whose advancing age renders Nobody little more than a hazy outline in his vision.

Big Bad Wannabe: Sullivan initially seems to be pulling the strings behind the Wild Bunch, and at one point he tries to hire Nobody to kill Jack, but he's ultimately rather harmless and mostly concerned that Jack wants to avenge his brother's death (which Jack actually doesn't).

Shy Bladder: Invoked and Played for Laughs. The main character stands opposite to the train driver (the urinals are in the middle of the room), deliberately making grimaces so that the driver is too nervous to pee. Once he finally succeeds, he is too busy peeing to notice that his train got stolen.

Last Stand: Played with in the fight with the Wild Bunch. Jack is prepared to go down fighting, alone against the 150, when suddenly Nobody arrives in a stolen train. When Jack approaches the train, Nobody backs up, refusing to let him on and save him, until Jack has killed enough of them to make him an immortal legend.
