Yeah the duels are not on par with TBG and are not too integral to the overall film

Definitely agree. Still love it overall though. It’s always been in my top 25.

@Admin

I think the script would’ve allowed for run man run volume 1 and 2

Didn’t somebody, I think @Novecento, say years ago that Sollima said he wished he’d made another Cuchillo movie instead of Face to Face?

Ah, man, as much as that would have been cool, I really love Face to Face.

Rewatched this one today.

This is a very overlooked spaghetti western. Very unique as it starts off as a Zapata westerns and as the story goes on it becomes more of a traditional spaghetti western with a great cast and great writing throughout the story. This is Sollima at his most Leone with some really nice action. The filming locations and production values are also some of the best in the genre. Has a very epic scale too, not too dissimilar to GBU. Underrated, but not without flaws, as the comedy bits do feel intrusive at times despite being genuinely funny.

Yup, it’s actually one of my all-time favorites. Baricco’s original book is really good too if you can manage to find a copy. Back on topic, this is what I found most interesting in the interview: “I knew that Beauregard would be something completely different from Cuchillo, I took the risk. I don´t know today if I did the right thing by changing drastically the character typology. Maybe, continuing the second movie with another Cuchillo story would have been more convenient from a box office…

the key part here being “from a box office perspective…” ?
