Watching it again today for the umpteenth time. My favorite
scene is Tuco in the bathtub. "When you have to shoot, shoot.
Don't talk."

^^^^Kinda makes one proud that the human race produces such things.
A movie with many good scenes -

I can't remember how many times I have seen it and it was on today again. I also have it on a CD.
Not a bad movie but how did they have a cartridge 45 revolver in the 1860's before they were not made until 1873?
I rewatched the trilogy recently and they are still faves.
The end sequence in the cemetery is one of the all time great movie climaxes, though IMO slightly inferior to For a Few Dollars More, which is just incredible. And the music is absolutely key to these scenes. Amazing stuff.

The 'bullfight' music....
The 'bullfight' music is amazing. And the flamenco guitar. Even the sound that sounds like someone kicking a Fender Reverb amplifier. Broken by the sound of crows, silence, and the 'watch chimes' that are in the other movie. Out of all of the great showdowns in westerns, this is completely my favorite and I could watch it again and again.
Both of them going down both sides of the street....wow.
"It's for you."
The song the Confederates sing is amazingly melancholy. I think it was written for the movie.
There are two kinds of guns. Those that come in the door and those that come in the window.
Tuco assembling his gun:

(Eli Wallach was REALLY underated as an actor)
Tuco punches out his brother. (That scene EXPLAINS Tuco)
"It doesn't matter, I'll kill ALL OF THEM!"
The dying soldier.
"Sorry, Shorty"
"I can't go while you're watching!" (And 'disposing' of the Sergeant's body)
"BLONDIE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE? YOU'RE A &^%%$# AHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Easy..... the "Magic of Hollywood".
Ennio Morricone is a genius!
Eli Wallach really was an amazing actor and really made many of the best scenes. This scene was cut out of most of the releases for The Good/Bad/Ugly. I can't imagine why. The first time I saw it (in an uncut version) I thought I was halucinating..as I had seen the movie dozens of times and never saw it..

We may never see new movies like this ever again. All they pump out now are animations...

Clint sure boosted the serape sales to touristas visiting Mexico for several years.
OP
I saw that scene in the movie also, but not the one I watched
yesterday. Maybe the SPCA had a hand in getting it out.

CLINT & HIS SERAPE...
His charecters in those spagetti westerns were the inspiration for "NachoGrande", he was gonna be my SASS persona. UNTIL I figured out how much the guns/duds/leather/boots/hat were gonna cost.
BLAME HIM.

All things considered, for a 1960s western movie the Italians, filming in Spain, did a significantly better job with at least a resemblance of historical authenticity than pretty much any American-made western of the time.
At least all three main characters had revolvers, Van Cleef’s Remington and Wallach’s and Eastwood’s Colts, that were outwardly period-correct, even if they used cartridges.
This was the decade when in “The Comancheros” John Wayne used a 1892 Winchester and Colt SAA in a movie set in 1843

The absolute worst mistake I've seen so far was in The Grand Duel aka "Il Grande Duello", when character Adam Saxon uses an MG42 variant to gun down a wagon train of settlers. That was such a bad one, that it actually contributed to the quirkiness of the film. JUMP TO 1:05:06 TO SEE IT HERE

Believe it or not, there was a lower budget rip off series of spaghetti westerns while Clint was doing his. A buddy and I went to see one and it turned out to be a comedy-at least to us. Everyone had a revolver with a brass grip frame, all in the same holsters and it looked like it'd been shot in an abandoned Pennsylvania strip mine.
I guess they got a bulk discount on the gear.
I don't recall if it was that movie, but I do remember Clint changing cylinders (exchange empty for loaded) in at least one movie. That wasn't all that uncommon back in the day.

One of my favorite lines in the movie is "Idiots. It's for you." Classic Clint Eastwood, it's something Dirty Harry would have said.
