He supposedly directed quite a few scenes in the film, including the opening scene, the graveyard scene, the face off with the wild bunch and the final duel in New Orleans. Leone’s influence is all over the film but Valerii was also a very capable director in his own right, so there’s no reason to believe he wasn’t responsible for most of it. Check out Valerii’s ‘Taste of Killing’ if you haven’t already. A hidden gem!
