When the rope starts to pull tight, you can feel the Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day bite your ass!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Since beginning this column I’ve been looking for BTS pics from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, one of my all time favorite movies. I did find a really badass shot of Leone, but it’s an unfortunately low res image and I’m hoping to find a bigger version before saying “Aw, screw it! This is too cool to sit on!”
In the meantime, I received this image of Leone making a face while Clint Eastwood looks on. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would have been like to hang around that set, seeing Clint Eastwood at, dare I say, his most iconic.
That’s part of why I love doing this column. I would have to develop time travel technology and make a few bazillion dollars to get a look at the making of that movie, but why go through all that tiring hassle when I can just see pictures like the one here?
Here it is:
I can hear Morricone’s score when looking at that pic! Maybe an alternative “Il Trio” moment, right? Thanks to “Bungi” for sending it along!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare, the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes Pic has been one of my most requested since a throwaway mention in my Batman: The TV Show addition. See ya’ then!

That's the face that all fanboys make when they hate on things
by RedBull_Werewolf
Seriously, it could be the official photo of any Thor talkback
-
to paraphrase Nick Swardson.
-
i want copy of this movie in my coffin. and all my other favorites... shit - i'm going to need a bigger coffin....
-
You win every TB past, present and future till the end of the internetz...I'm posting from my phone now excuse me while I go buy a new keyboard since the old one is a pool of coffee...
-
...but it sure smells good!
-
... the Italian Boss Hogg
-
Nope, still got a ton on the docket. Just trying to keep it from being a flood one one particular flick dominating this column.
-
Those who "smealt it", and those who "dealt it".
-
Was Dirty Harry, no? But the Man With No Name was beyond uber cool also. I love that scene where he gives that dying soldier his poncho and joint. Not a word spoken, but hugely poignant. They don't make films like that anymore.
-
than it does LEONE directing them.
-
IS the greatest movie ever made. So much packed into a sprawling run time that flies by. <p> The scope of the civil war scene (in itself just a backdrop in a side story) alone is mind boggling.
-
on that set.
-
my fav so far
-
BP - It's arguable, but when I think of Eastwood I think of the cigar, the poncho, the scruff and the hat. The Man With No Name is Clint in my brain. Dirty Harry is up there, of course, but Blondie FTW.<BR><BR>RP excepting Lee Marvin and Eli Wallach you could be right. They shot without sound, which is why even those who know and speak English come in later and dub their lines.
-
Maybe "Paint Your Wagon" is one of your favorite movies instead?
-
Fuck me, *thats* what Sergio Leone looks like?!<p> Don't mean to disrespect a great film maker but he's got that whole tubby eunuch thing going on...
-
Lee Van Cleef, of course. Was typing too fast and thinking I was all smart and stuff.
-
Maybe by 2020??
-
One of the greatest roles by one of the greatest actors. So great "Breaking Bad" had to name one of its characters Tuco.
-
...anyone else?
-
Three toughs ride into a town, pull their guns, charge into a cantina. Gunshots. Tuco crashes through a window looking mean as shit. Pause. The scream. "The Ugly". Action resumes. Tuco leaps on a horse rides off hell for leather. A dying man staggers out of the bar, two corpses on the floor.
-
was a great read. leone is probably the greatest utilizer of sound of any director because he treats it not as some sort of appendage to the visuals but as a sword in one hand while the visuals a sword in the other.
-
I was actually thinking of sending this 1 in and found it uncanny it be posted: http://hosting1.media-e.com/product-images/screenshots_big/dvm000322d_4.jpg
-
the other big film icons you should tackle. Robert Shaw fighting Connery on the Orient would be supoib
-
Like many, I have seen lot of Leone's films, but for some reason I just realized that I have never known what the man looked like. Kinda has a Hitchcock quality about him. <P> Thx for the pic Quint.
-
He had a cameo in The Ghost Writer.
-
The guy that had the drop on the Ugly while he was in the bath. But he kept flubbing his lines. So Leone had him just count some number sequence and then later just dubbed his voice in with the Italian actors.
-
Shaw also fought Connery in Robin and Marion
-
Recently watched "Duck, You Sucker" starring James Colburn and Rod Steiger. AWESOME! And available for instant viewing off Netflix.
-
...looks like Hitchcock and Capote's love child.
-
He doesnt like to smoke in real life. He only does it as an actor. Just think of the countless number of people who tried to be like him and wound up dead of lung or pancreatic cancer
-
I wish they would bring that character back for one more round. If Sly could bring back Rocky, Clint could bring back the man with no name.
-
Does it look to anyone else that no everyone except Eastwood is speaking something other than English? Either that or the movie has BAD dubbing.
-
Yep but i was going for the more franchises which quint seems to favor on here.
-
Thats just like Connery who never smokes either and just holds it in his mouth in hish Bonds.
-
Seriously, you deserve a raise for this. I have been reading this site for years and have NEVER gave a shit about any kind of recurring columns until this.

Speaking of sequel to GBU, it was going to happen
by TakingScorpiosCalls
In Once UPon a Time in Italy theres an interview with the writer Sergio Donati who helped on Leone's movies, there was supposed to be a sequel he wrote up to be done in the late 70s that would return all 3 characters, more older (how theyd revive Angel Eyes no clue) and Eli/Lee wanted to do it but Clint didnt so it was supposed to be Blondie's Son since Blondie was supposed to be dead now, and it would start in the rainy night and then when his son would pay respect to his grave, he'd walk off and in the air a voice would say "carefulu son, there are a lot of sons of bitches in this world..." and then the Ugly would be spying on him and follow him.
-
it was to be by antoher director i forgot, maybe Castellari or someone.
-
Hugh Jackman...anyone else ever notice that?
-
I always thought so definately. And this film is my favourite western followed closely by unforgiven.
-
the main reason I visit this site!
-
...I've thought that for a long time. I've been saying that if they ever decide to revive Dirty Harry, there's only one call they should make, and that's straight to Jackman. Just imagine him in the suit and sideburns...he'd nail it. Not saying DH needs reviving, but there is NO one else who'd come close to Jackman.
-
I get goosebumps just thinking about that sequence.<p>Pure magic, we seriously don't get shit that good any more.
-
Sergio's problem was an eating disorder. He wasn't just 'overweight' - he was literally obsessed with food. I find it telling that the first faceoff in TGTBATU begins over a meal. Perhaps he may have made a few more movies if his obsession had not 'consumed' him, poor fellow, for he was a genius. All hail Sergio!
-
Yeah definitely all of his movies have lots of eating, but he also had a weak heart like his father before him.
-
Its a double. I love this movie though, one of the all-time greats.
-
The Good The Bad The Ugly The Dead.

This is the best photo yet imo even better then Kong
by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz
I am sure Harry will disagree with me on that one. This new pic is by far the best one of the lot. Just fucking so epic on so many levels. Christ what a find.
-
the best talkbacks this site has seen in a long time.
-
not to be fucked with.
-
I would LOVE to see some Wrath of Khan bts pics. I'm not a huge Trek guy, but the "trilogy" is one of my favorite pieces of Sci-fi. <p>If you have any pics of Nimoy directing 3 or 4, that would be fantastic too.
-
It's a true epic on the scale of Ben Hur. For me, it's up there with "favorites" like Godfather, TESB, FOTR, and Raiders.
-
Tuco'd have made Dagwood Bumstead proud.
-
But Good The Bad And The Ugly is probably my favourite. I hadn't seen any of them in years but I bought Red Dead Redemption a couple of months ago and ten minutes into the game I new that I'd be fetching out my old copies and having a marathon viewing session later on. Oh, and Red Dead is a fucking badass game aswell.

"If you're going to shoot someone, shoot, don't talk"
by Nasty In The Pasty
Anyone else think and Tucco line inspired a later scene in Die Hard?<BR><BR>"The next time you're going to kill someone, don't hesitate!"<BR><BR>BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM<br><br>"Thanks for the advice."
-
Christ, no edit feature...what is this, 1995?!
-
Someone on YouTube made a Red Dead/Good the Bad and the Ulgy video: <p> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9JccUOoMj4

Go go go migo Go go go migo Go go migo Go go go Aaaaa Go go go go go... Aaaaa Go migo Aaaaa Go migo Aaaaa Aaaaa Aaaaa Migo go go...

Just noticed http://fromdusktillcon.com/forum/topic?f=33&t=1445&start=0
-
leone, eastwood and morricone. we will never see the likes of that again.
-
the behind the scene story is that clint was the only one that could speak english on the set.
-
He's in his 90s, yet I wrote a letter to him last summer and he sent me a very nice signed shot from the movie, and even answered my questions in a letter.
-
One of the Greatesgt films ever made. Next to TESB and ALIENS.
-
Am i the only one who prefers For a Few Dollars More? Theres soemthing about the chemistry between Clint and Lee in that movie that gets me ticking! And he stand-off at the end is just amazing! Naturally....!
-
Yes indeed! This looks like the canon Blondie uses to shoot at Tuco, right before the Ecstasy of Gold scene. By the way, the Ecstasy of Gold scene is possibly my all time favorite vignette from any movie, period!
-
Further to my previous post... The combination of Morricone's music, the cinematography and editing was pure magic. I get goosebumps just thinking about how cool that scene is, and what a singular example of excellence in filmmaking.
-
i gotta say, i love this column
-
I like the second and third ones more than the first. The second is a good revenge, then turned into friendship type story, and the third one is just epic.
