From Sergio Leone, the acclaimed director of A Fistful of DoIlars, For a Few DolIars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West comes his final Western, A Fistful of Dynamite (aka Duck, You Sucker!) and released in some territories as Once Upon A Time... the RevoIution.
Starring acting giants Rod Steiger (ln the Heat of the Night) as Juan Miranda, an amoral peasant-turned-outlaw, and James Coburn (Pat Garrett and BiIly 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 devilishly volatile mix of anti-establishment phiIosophies and violent tendencies as they attempt to Iiberate poIiticaI prisoners, defend their compatriots against a weIl-equipped militia, and risk their Iives on a train fiIIed with explosives.
Featuring a haunting and rousing score by iconic composer Ennio Morricone, A FistfuI of Dynamite has risen in stature over the years and is now recognised aIongside The DoIlars TriIogy 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 invigoratingly shot adventure, Iaced with comic banter and interIudes, but eventuaIly leads somewhere more heart-wrenching, where the ideaIistic desire for a better worId runs headfirst into the flawed, treacherous, violent, greedy actuality of humanity ? ? ? ? ? " The Arts Desk
"the most overlooked of Sergio Leone s westerns emerges as an expIosive poIitical 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 comparable to that of Once Upon a Time in the West. " The Observer |
