Favorite Scene in a Spaghetti Western

the american ‘wild bunch’ 1969, not the crap my name is nobody… :wink:

When Jill is at the station in Once Upon A Time In The West and the camera pans up to see the bustling town accompanied by Morricone’s beautiful score.
Cinematic perfection.

Yeah I forgot that one…“I am your pallbearer”…so classic…and also the scene from Have a Good Funeral when Sartana shoots a guy with the rifle around his head and then whips it around and shoots the rest of them

5 scenes come to mind.

The Manco Mortimer hat shooting contest in FFDM.

Joe blasting the guys for laughing at his mule in FFD, and then saying sorry, four coffins to the undertaker.

Chuchillo’s desperate stuggle to escape the manhunt starting in the sugar cane fields and ending with his retribution against chet. The music for these sequences is Morricone’s best in my opinion.

The ecstasy of gold in GBU.

OUATITW, the harmonica frank duel, as well as the closing credits when we see harmonica riding away with the dead Cheyenne’s body.

well i have a lot of fav scene’s in these films to many to think of. but one the saddest scenes’s in a spaghetti western that always brings a tear to my eye and choke’s me up is the scene in Lucio Fulci’s FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE where bunny dies giving birth to the baby :’( that is such a powerful scene imo

Imo it’d be hard to top the ecstasy of the gold scene… A personal favorite of mine is at the beginning of Big Gundown: LVC is waiting for the three outlaws, one is already hanging, and he gives them each one bullet. Love that scene! Going to have to watch it again soon :slight_smile:

That scene in Kill and Pray where they’re sitting around the dinner table talking about slavery, Mark Damon’s dialogue is so good.

Near the end of The Hellbenders. The coffin is opened and no loot in !

the duel of lee van cleef and saxon brothers very classic!!

your right aboot that one.that is a good scene. but another one i love in KILL AND PRAY is when they get the hero drunk and make him shoot the bottles drunk. btw MARK DAMON is one crazy guy in that one. very good role he played in that film

Yeah he’s one of the best villains in a Spaghetti Western, imo. Carlo Lizzani was good at casting villains… Henry Silva was crazy in The Hills Run Red.

I also like the stage is good, bad, ugly, and when tuco is running around in circles trying to find graved landmarks Stanton. I know I have just mentioned. It reminds me of the scene in Sam Fuller’s four shots in the dining Barbara Stanwyk in ridiculoulsy long table with her ​​"gunmen."

okay, here we go
Companeros - when Swede meets John (Palance) for the first time and they talk about how John made it down from a cross to which he was nailed (when Swede betrayed him) - hilariously funny scene
Ace High - finale with ten men around the roullette table and customers on the floor
Ace High- beginning, when Cat and Hutch enter the town on the truck, they stop, dismount and are going away from the camera (wonderful
music is playing at the same moment)
God Forgives I dont - when San Antonio enters the cantina, shoots two guys with words “too many people” and Cat Stevens shoots down his two henchmen with words "yeah, too many people"
Return of Ringo - when Ringo slump down the floor, then we see four mexicans firing from some sort of gatling gun in the front of
camera and Ringo far away behind them and he fires from his winchester and one of mexicans falls (but nobody heard that winchester shot,because of noise of that gatling)
Django the Bastard - when Django brings a bottle to main villain

Specialists- when Hud is riding away toward the sunset and the music begins to play - i have to point out - the music from the french version, thats much much better than in the italian version
Stranger returns - dialogs between Stranger and the old priest (and of course every shoot out with that 4-barelled shotgun)
Blindman- when Tony finds out, the general took his women
Great Silence- potato scene :smiley:
Great Silence- when Silence shoots off the thumbs of the guy in the beginning, if you slow mo this scene you can actually see how these thumbs explode - yargh
