* Poor Tuco back in the noose again during the final scene. After all he's been through, after we've gotten to know him, it hurts to see him like this, his broken cries of "Blondie!" echoing out over Sad Hill as Blondie rides off into the distance is heartbreaking. Of course Tuco is saved, and he was right, Blondie was playing a joke on him, but the buildup is painful because you're not sure whether he'll live or die.

** Tuco takes the death of his parents really hard. He's so taken thunderstruck that he buries his face against wall, his breath quietly shuddering. And while Pablo is clearly saddened too, he showed no empathy or consolation for his brother as he wept for their parents' loss, instead continuing to insult him, despite the criticism being arguably justified.

* The scene where Rebel prisoners are forced to sing loudly to drown out the sounds of Wallace beating the crap out of Tuco. Many of the prisoners are visibly weeping, as they know exactly [[ColdBloodedTorture what's happening to Tuco inside the cabin]], but they can't do anything to help the poor bastard. The lyrics to the song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upjlKlV9uIA&feature=relmfu "Story Of A Soldier"]] make it even sadder:

* The scene where Blondie comforts the dying soldier and leaves him his jacket.

* Captain Clinton deserves a spot here. After getting fatally wounded in battle, [[{{Determinator}} through sheer force of will]], he stays alive long enough to watch Blondie and Tuco blow up the Branstone Bridge he's been bitching about. When it happens he dies with a smile on his face.

* Tuco and his brother. It bring a lot of AlternativeCharacterInterpretation to Tuco.

* Tuco trying to find the grave where the money is buried. He runs through the vast graveyard, trying to find one particular tombstone in a forest of tombstones to fallen soldiers slaughtered in a tragic war, as Ennio Morricone's "[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome The Ecstasy Of Gold]]" works up towards a climax.

The lyrics to the song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upjlKlV9uIA&feature=relmfu "Story Of A Soldier"]] make it even sadder: ''Bugles are calling from prairie to shore, "Sign up" and "Fall In" and march off to war. Blue grass and cotton, burnt and forgotten All hope seems gone so soldier march on to die. Bugles are calling from prairie to shore, "Sign up" and "Fall In" and march off to war. There in the distance a flag I can see, Scorched and in ribbons but whose can it be, How ends the story, whose is the glory Ask if we dare, our comrades out there who sleep.''
