* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad El Indio]] is the classic Mexican {{Bandito}}, turned UpToEleven. He obtains a secret from his cellmate, and then kills his cellmate 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 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 himself. 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]]. An AxCrazy drug-addict who leeches off those around him, El Indio shocked audiences at the time, and continues to do so now.

* ChaoticNeutral: Groggy is a bandit who is quite crafty and works with only those he can trust. In fact, the only thing that keeps him allied with Indio, who's trying to kill his own gang out of greed, is a shared enmity against the bounty killers that are going after Indio.

* FridgeBrilliance: Manco initially dislikes Mortimer, but later befriends him. Mortimer is portrayed by Creator/LeeVanCleef, who also plays the villainous Angel Eyes in ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. If the trilogy is watched chronological order, (''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' is a prequel.) then Manco's dislike of him makes a lot more sense, because his looks must've reminded him of Angel Eyes.
* FridgeHorror: Indio smokes marijuana simply for hobby? Or he's a so AxCrazy person that he must do this to not be worse?

* 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 certainly not to the degree of fluency required to dub his own character.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
** The random guy getting killed by some offscreen shooter right before the opening credits. This scene is never explained nor mentioned again.
** The scene is almost immediately followed by a narration describing the start of the bounty hunter profession, so one can assume it is one of the wanted criminals being ambushed and killed.

* EvenBetterSequel: ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars'' was a good film, but this was an improvement in several ways.



* NarmCharm:
** 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!"
** Another one from Mortimer, when he spots a wanted poster of his nemesis. And looks at it very hard.
