There are certain scenes in spaghettis that are so cool that they send shivers up your spine. Just the power they emit. My favorite scene is the finale of The Forgotten Pistolero. It is just so cool. The burning hacienda and Leonard Mann sowly walking towards Alberto de Mendoza and filling him full of holes. Not to mentin the beautiful music. The best scene in any Spaghetti Western IMO.

I know it’s a different kind of scene than the one you are describing but I love the “soup eating scene” in Cemetery Without Crosses. It is SO odd.
I know I have mentioned it before. It reminds me (slightly) of the scene in Sam Fuller’s Forty Guns where Barbara Stanwyk dines at a ridiculoulsy long table with her “gunmen”.
You know me well R. I don’t necessarily meen action scene. Just any scene in general. So the soup eating scene is what I am talking about. I also love the end of CWC. The two walks. The walk to kill, and the walk to die. That sounds good. Thats what I’ll call this scenes from now on.
My Name Is Nobody, when Nobody is eating a frying pan full of beans with a serving spoon.
He’s just chowing them down.
I also like the scene in The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly when Tuco is running around in circles trying to find the graved marked Arch Stanton. You get raped up in the music and the dizzying effects of Tuco running, the music getting louder and faster.

Hunchback match lighting in FAFDM
Ecstasy of Gold Tuco scene from TGTBATU
Opening sequence from OUATITW
All these have a claim but the one that sticks in my mind at the moment is possibly an unlikely one. It is the scene in Return of Ringo when Ringo has sneaked upstairs at the party and is rediscovering his old room and watching his daughter sleeping. Then Hally comes in, the light falls across his face and the theme tune builds up…bah bah baaah… It never fails to satisfy. Mushy and melodramatic maybe, but beautifully and effectively done and, like most of the best scenes in this film, done solely with pictures and music.
The game of Pool around the beginning of Carambola is hilarious! The opening scene of Once Upon A Time In The West is incredible, for me cinema does’nt get any better. The end shootout in Keoma is truly great also.
That is such a good one. Too bad it’s the best part of the movie.
The music kinda reminds me of Once Upon a Time In The West.
It is a scene rare for a Spaghetti because it is infused with FEELING.
One funny thing about this scene is the baddie who is shot by Rico Boido: he’s on a wire to be yanked (so he goes flying when he is gunshot) , but they yank the wire right BEFORE Rico shoots him.
