* DiagonalCut: In the shop scene, after assembling his gun, Tuco tests it at the shooting range by firing at three targets - the first three shots make them turn sideways, the latter three cause two of them to collapse... except the third one is left standing, Tuco apparently having missed it entirely. Just as the owner begin to smirk, Tuco takes a swig of whisky and jumps on the plank propping the target up, causing it to collapse as well.

Cleaned up description to be less gushing (thread)


'''''{{T|ropeCodifier}}he''''' [[SpaghettiWestern Spaghetti Western film]].

''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' (Italian: ''Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo'', literally "The Good One, the Ugly One, the Bad One"), directed by Creator/SergioLeone and released in 1966, is one of the Film/DollarsTrilogy of {{Spaghetti Western}}s that served as a DeconstructorFleet to the entire [[TheWestern Western genre]]. It is the last, and probably the most famous of the trilogy, and is credited with helping to kill the Western genre (due to how thoroughly it disassembles said genre) and inventing a bevy of new tropes (even popularizing the MexicanStandoff). It's had an incredible impact on the ''entirety of filmmaking'' since then, and is generally regarded as one of the greatest films ever created. The soundtrack was composed by Music/EnnioMorricone, and remains perhaps his most memorable work (or at least on par with ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'').

The movie serves as a DeconstructorFleet to the entire [[TheWestern Western]] genre and is credited as a major factor in putting the American Western out of fashion (due to how thoroughly it disassembles said genre), while inventing a bevy of new tropes, especially the famous MexicanStandoff. It's had an incredible impact on the entirety of filmmaking since then and often ended up on many "greatest films of all time" lists (though Leone's late film, ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'', is cited as its serious competition). The soundtrack was once again composed by Music/EnnioMorricone and remains perhaps his most memorable work.

* MarketBasedTitle: Known in France as ''Le Bon, la Brute et le Truand'' (''The Good, the Brute and the Thug''). Germany didn’t even try and called it “Zwei Glorreiche Halunken” (“Two Glorious Thugs”). Many other Westerns suffered a similar fate.
* AMasterMakesTheirOwnTools: Tuco (The Ugly) built his own revolver by taking bit and pieces from a bunch of different guns in a gun store. None of that gun store's best ones was good enough for him.

* GunStripping: Blondie cleans his guns at one point. He has to finish before bandits enter his room. Tuco also does this also when assembling his hybrid pistol from several others.
