What's left behind the scenes
- Originally, Sergio Leone wanted Lee Marvin to play Douglas Mortimer.
- The character Aldo Sambrella is named Coheilio. This is an English transcription of the Spanish word “cuchillo,” which means “knife”.
- According to Lee Van Cleef, he drew his revolver from its holster faster than Clint Eastwood.
- The Man with No Name calls himself Monco. From Italian, “Monco” translates to “one-handed,” which is quite logical considering the character’s habit of fighting, drinking, smoking, etc., with his left hand, while his right hand is always on the pistol hidden under his poncho.
- The phrase “Alive or dead, you’re coming with me!” and the trick of putting a pistol in a holster were used in the RoboCop film.
- Henry Fonda and Jack Palance both auditioned for the role of Colonel Douglas Mortimer.
- This film is the second in the “Dollars Trilogy” and features a second main antagonist – the “bad” guy.
- Despite the fact that Eastwood's poncho was never washed during the production of the Dollar Trilogy, it was periodically darned and patched. In the final scene of this film, Eastwood's character is shot several times with a Winchester, and consequently, several holes remain in the poncho. In this film, Clint wears the poncho backwards, and the patches covering the bullet holes are clearly visible in some scenes.
- At the beginning of the film, in the scene on the platform, the character of Lee Van Cleef tears down a poster of Guy, on which two zeros have been added. However, when the same poster is slipped under the door of the saloon, the drawn zeros are no longer present.
- Gian Maria Volonté did not speak English, and he required an interpreter on set.
- For the film, the set designer Carlo Simi built the town of El Paso in Spain. Director and screenwriter Sergio Leone later filmed it in his 1966 Western, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." The town still stands today and is now known as "Mini-Hollywood."
- Lee Van Cleef was going through a not very easy and successful period in his life due to his excessive fondness for alcohol. He earned a living by painting and was very grateful for the offer to star in this film, after which his acting career began to improve again.
- The entire film was shot without sound, so Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef returned to Italy after filming to record their lines, and sound effects were added to the film.
- Screenwriter and director Sergio Leone offered the role of Colonel Mortimer to actor Henry Fonda, but he declined the offer. Leone approached Charles Bronson with the same offer, which did not interest him, and Lee Marvin, who also refused because he had just agreed to participate in Elliot Silverstein's Western "Cat Ballou" (1965). Only after that did Leone turn to Lee Van Cleef, who had not appeared in films since the Western "How the West Was Won" (John Ford, Henry Hathaway, George Marshall, Richard Thorpe, 1962), although he had been working on television. The actor initially thought he was being offered a role in a few scenes and was very surprised to find that this was not the case.
- Ennio Morricone began working on the film's music even before filming began, receiving detailed instructions from Sergio Leone, who often shot his films directly to the music.
- Screenwriter and director Sergio Leone did not want to film a sequel to the Western "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), but the "Jolly Film" studio refused to pay for the filming of "A Fistful of Dollars" until he agreed to make a sequel.
- During filming, Sergio Leone constantly felt that Gian Maria Volonté was acting too "theatrically," and he repeatedly filmed numerous takes of the same scene simply to tire out the actor and exhaust him. Once, Volonté even left the set in anger, but filming was taking place in the middle of the desert, he couldn't leave, so he returned to filming, but vowed never to appear in Westerns again.
