History YMMV / ForAFewDollarsMore

** Did [[spoiler:Mortimer's sister]] kill herself on purpose out of shame and shock as she was being raped by El Indio in the flashback, or was she trying to shoot him only to [[AccidentalSuicide accidentally suicide]]?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: El Indio's habit of taking drugs just after killing someone is usually interpreted as him trying to calm his agitation or otherwise get rid of a bad feeling. But given what a {{sadist}} he is, there's another possibility: He's doing it ''to prolong his pleasure''.

* EvilIsSexy: Gian Maria Volonte had his work cut out for him.

* CommonKnowledge: Christopher Frayling's book ''Something To Do With Death'' claims that Gian Maria Volonte was "contractually obligated to dub his own dialogue into English," which has become a widely-repeated piece of trivia. Volonte, however, spoke very little English and while he may have recorded a scratch track reading his dialogue phonetically, it's unlikely that much if any of his vocal performance was used in the actual movie. The balance of Indio's dialogue is the English version is provided by Bernie Grant, who also dubbed Volonte in ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars''.

* CommonKnowledge: Christopher Frayling's book ''Something To Do With Death'' claims that Gian Maria Volonte was "contractually obligated to dub his own dialogue into English," which has become a widely-repeated piece of trivia. In fact, Volonte is dubbed by American voice actor Bernard Grant, the same actor who dubbed him in ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars''; Volonte spoke very little English and likely couldn't have done so himself, "contractual obligation" or not. It's plausible, however, that he recorded a scratch track that was mostly redone in the final version.

** The scene where El Indio sends a man's wife and his infant son to be sacrificed before murdering the man himself; and to add an appropriately sadistic touch, he ''{{forces|ToWatch}}'' his victim to see this.

** The scene where El Indio sends the wife and his baby son of his victim to be sacrificed; and to add an appropriately sadistic touch, he ''{{forced|ToWatch}}'' his victim to see this.

* CompleteMonster: [[AxCrazy El Indio]] is a Mexican {{Bandito}} who obtains a secret from his cellmate, and then kills the latter so that he can keep the information for himself. He forces a former member of his gang to listen to his wife and [[WouldHurtAChild infant child]] being slaughtered, then forces him into a duel, which he rigs in his own favor. When he discovers that Colonel Mortimer and Monco are {{bounty hunter}}s, he has them tortured, then sets them free, killing one of his own men and framing them for it; his plan is to have his gang and the bounty hunters kill each other, leaving all the loot for him. When Nino, the one gang member he'd planned to keep around is killed in front of him, El Indio displays absolutely no reaction, and he's ultimately revealed to have killed Mortimer's brother-in-law and raped his sister, [[DrivenToSuicide driving her to suicide]].

** In the wonderful shooting contest scene, Monco walks around Mortimer, glaring at him; Mortimer walks around Monco, glaring at ''him''; Monco steps on Mortimer's shoe, getting it muddy; Mortimer does the same to him, et cetera -- until [[spoiler:Mortimer proves himself to be the better shot by perforating Monco's hat]], but up until then it's hilarious. Two little boys hang a [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] on it: "Just like the games we know!"

** Monco and Mortimer calling each other "boy" and "old man" can seem this way if you know Lee Van Cleef was only five years older than Clint Eastwood.

* MagnificentBastard: [[ColonelBadass Colonel Douglas Mortimer]] is a BountyHunter seeking revenge on gang leader [[BigBad El Indio]] for raping his sister. Introduced luring an outlaw out to kill him, Mortimer gets wind of Indio’s escape from prison and later encounters several of his men, nearly provoking one into a fight. Deciding to team up with another bounty hunter known as Manco (The Man with No Name), Mortimer sends Manco to infiltrate Indio’s gang and through him lures the gang to his location after they rob a bank, then steals the loot without Indio realizing he’d opened it. After killing several of Indio’s men in a gun battle, Mortimer finds himself helpless at Indio’s hands and [[FaceDeathWithDignity is resigned to his fate]] until Manco arrives to even the odds, whereupon Mortimer kills Indio in a DuelToTheDeath and rides into the sunset, his vengeance fulfilled.
