I know. The author wasn't referring to the whole of the Leone/Eastwood series, just the "Dollars" series (of which there are only two).

[Squantos]

Yeah the man in the wilderness was good but he went way too far in the series of spin offs from that flick.....

[mysto]

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is considered the third movie in the Dollars "trilogy." The were all part of the same series of movies filmed by Leone in Italy and Spain, one right after the other.

[Mr. Mojo]

Actually, it's not. The "Dollars" series starred Gian Maria Volonté (as "Ramon" in A Fistful of Dollars and "Indio" in For a Few Dollars More). He was absent from the third and final flick (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly .....which didn't contain the word "Dollars" in the title anyway).

The "Dollars" series comprised only the first two of the Leone/Eastwood trilogy.

[mysto]

The three films have been called the "Dollarstrilogy" by fans, even though they are 3 distinct films. When you talk about the "Dollars series," you have to include The Good, The Bad And The Ugly as an extension of the same series of spaghetti westerns. Same lead actor, same director, same shooting locations. The only difference was that Eli Wallach was in the 3rd film and Leone had a bigger budget to work with. Just because the 3rd film doesn't have "Dollars" in its name doesn't mean it wasn't part of the trilogy. And so what if Volonte wasn't in all 3... Eastwood was. And Lee Van Cleef was only in the last 2...

[Mr. Mojo]

Just because the 3rd film doesn't have "Dollars" in its name doesn't mean it wasn't part of the trilogy.

It was indeed part of the Leone/Eastood trilogy; it just wasn't one of the two "Dollars" movies.

It was indeed part of the Leone/Eastood trilogy
The trilogy is what is unofficially referred to by fans as the "Dollars trilogy." All 3 movies are considered to be part of the same series of spaghetti westerns. If you don't believe me, Google search "dollars trilogy" and see how many hits you get.
(geez, why are we arguing about this? This is like Clinton trying to argue what the meaning of "is" is...)

:), That is exactly what my response would have said.

For the 4th time, I know. I'm telling you that the "Dollars series" is a series within the trilogy.

geez, why are we arguing about this?

lol.....good question.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]
