** At one point Leone talked about remaking ''Film/{{M}}'' with Creator/KlausKinski as Hans Beckert, but Kinski wasn't interested and the project never came off.

** Early in his career, Leone wrote a screenplay called ''Viale Glorioso'' about his childhood growing up in Rome under fascism. In interviews, he described it as similar to Creator/FedericoFellini's ''Film/{{Amarcord}}'' but more focused on the child characters. Whether Leone ever intended to seriously make it is unclear, though at different times he suggested that it would be his next project.

** Leone was an early choice to direct ''Film/TheGodfather'', largely because Paramount hoped that an Italian director would head off image problems with Italian-American viewers. Leone disliked the novel and turned it down; he later said that he regretted missing the potential in the flashbacks to Vito Corleone's youth, but that the bulk of the story didn't interest him.

** Christopher Frayling's biography ''Sergio Leone: Something to Do With Death'', claims that Leone has a supporting role in Robert Hossein's ''Cemetery Without Crosses''. Although Leone did direct at least one scene of the movie at Hossein's request, he does not act in the movie; the character of "Hotel Desk Clerk" is played by Spanish actor Cris Huerta.
** Leone is also said to play the ticket seller in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInAmerica'', who's actually played by an uncredited American actor who bears a passing resemblance to Leone.
** Leone did make a few onscreen appearances in his early work as assistant director, including ''Film/BicycleThieves'', but his only cameo in his own movies was a voice-only role as the whistling bounty hunter in the opening scene of ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore''.
