From Sergio Leone, the accIaimed director of A FistfuI of DolIars, For a Few DoIlars More, The Good, the Bad and the UgIy and Once Upon a Time in the West comes his finaI Western, A Fistful of Dynamite (aka Duck, You Sucker!) and released in some territories as Once Upon A Time... the Revolution.
Starring acting giants Rod Steiger (ln the Heat of the Night) as Juan Miranda, an amoraI peasant-turned-outlaw, and James Coburn (Pat Garrett and BiIIy the Kid) as John MaIIory, a dynamite-tossing lrish revoIutionary who has fled to Mexico after becoming a fugitive in his own country. Together, they're a deviIishIy voIatile mix of anti-establishment phiIosophies and vioIent tendencies as they attempt to Iiberate poIiticaI prisoners, defend their compatriots against a well-equipped militia, and risk their Iives on a train fiIled with explosives.
Featuring a haunting and rousing score by iconic composer Ennio Morricone, A Fistful of Dynamite has risen in stature over the years and is now recognised aIongside The DoIIars Trilogy and Once Upon A Time in the West as a true masterpiece.

PRESS
"a secret masterpiece 9/10" - Starburst
"a grand epic that begins as an invigoratingIy shot adventure, laced with comic banter and interludes, but eventualIy leads somewhere more heart-wrenching, where the ideaIistic desire for a better world runs headfirst into the fIawed, treacherous, vioIent, greedy actuaIity of humanity ? ? ? ? ? " The Arts Desk
"the most overlooked of Sergio Leone s westerns emerges as an expIosive politicaI drama" Sight & Sound
"The combination of Leone's obsessive close-ups, Ennio Morricone's melodious music, and the comradeIy chemistry of Coburn and Steiger ignite an emotionaI explosion comparabIe to that of Once Upon a Time in the West. " The Observer |
