Andrew Bolt links to a magnificent scene from The good, the bad and the ugly. The score was written by Ennio Morricone. Here is another of his compositions.

Ah, but this clip from Fistful of Dollars clearly shows that Clint did in fact wait for his enemies to move first.

Yes, I think the idea is that the person who draws first should win but in the movies the ‘good guy’ always waits to draw second.

Oh, OK. That FoD shoot-up is my favourite from the Man With No Name’s extensive portfolio. Outstanding. Great tesnion in the lead-up too. The hombres crap thesmelves when they realise he isn’t joking about them apologising to the mule.

A Fistful of Dollars was the best Eastwood/Leone collaboration. But Once Upon A Time In the West shits on it.

Probably my favourite Western is Lonesome Dove. And here, following one of the best non-gunplay whippings EVEH – at 3:46 – is a line in my top five of all time.
