1 | * While the film is far more serious than the Film/DollarsTrilogy, constant sarcasm from Harmonica and Frank occasionally crosses the line into hilarious. |
2 | -->'''Frank:''' How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? The man can't even trust his own pants. |
3 | ** Guess [[spoiler:where Frank shoots the informer when the idiot proves to be too much of a liability? Hint: Frank shoots him three times...]] |
4 | ** And [[spoiler:Cheyenne's reaction to the informer's death is deadpan: "Told you to keep your mouth shut."]] |
5 | ** Also an in-joke. Leone himself wore a belt and suspenders. |
6 | * Some scenes in the 11 minute intro, probably an intentional example. And the tense and cool exchange afterwards. |
7 | --> '''Harmonica:''' Did you bring a horse for me?\ |
8 | '''Frank's Man:''' Looks like we're shy one horse.\ |
9 | '''Harmonica:''' (shakes head) You brought two too many. |
10 | * Hilarious scene: |
11 | -->'''Harmonica''': I saw three of these dusters a short time ago, they were waiting for a train. Inside the dusters, there were three men.\ |
12 | '''Cheyenne''': So?\ |
13 | '''Harmonica''': Inside the men, there were three bullets. |
14 | * This little gem: |
15 | -->'''Harmonica''': The reward for this man is 5000 dollars, is that right?\ |
16 | '''Cheyenne''': Judas was satisfied with 4,970 dollars less.\ |
17 | '''Harmonica''': There were no dollars in them days.\ |
18 | '''Cheyenne''': But sons-of-bitches? Yeah. |
19 | * Literally every line out of Cheyenne's mouth is all wit and snark. It deserves a whole Quote page of its own. |
20 | * Some BlackComedy |
21 | -->'''Morton:''' Tell me, was it necessary that you kill ''all'' of them? I only told you to ''scare'' them.\ |
22 | '''Frank:''' People scare better when they're dying. |
23 | * Cheyenne doesn't care one iota about the final duel and is just annoyed when the shooting makes him cut himself while shaving. |
24 | * The exchange between Jill and a barman. |
25 | -->'''Barman''': I can tell you're accustomed to fine living. Bet you come from one of those big Eastern cities. |
26 | -->'''Jill''': New Orleans. |
27 | -->'''Barman''': New Orleans! |
28 | -->'''Jill''': You've been there? |
29 | -->'''Barman''': No. |
30 | * Frank's henchman Snaky's reactions to a fly landing on his face that he doesn't even bother to swat away with his hand. Finally he traps it in a gun barrel. When it stops buzzing inside, he checks to see if it's dead, only for it to start buzzing again. |
31 | ** Snaky's ''expression'' when he sees the fly on the bench, like "Oh, God, no..." |
32 | * In the same scene, a residue from the ceiling keeps dripping onto Stony's head, [[OverlyLongGag repeatedly]]. He puts on his hat and the water keeps dripping onto his hat instead. |
33 | ** And then proceeds to drink the water that dropped on his hat. |
34 | * The audacious way Cheyenne uses one of his boots to conceal his pistol and catch one of Frank's men off guard before shooting the guy. Cheyenne makes every moment a chance for fun & games. |
35 | * The Native American woman who is chased out of the station mutters to herself as she runs, "Dumb palefaces..." |
36 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoK0moqWRPs Cheyenne ponders]] that they could make "thousands of thousands of dollars", to which Harmonica enlightens him with the quip: "They call them millions." |
