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...

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