Awesome / For a Few Dollars More

Go To

  • Both Manco and Colonel Mortimer are given an Establishing Character Moment, where each of them tracks a bounty. Mortimer walks into a town that a bandit has taken over, chases him outside and shoots him calmly from a distance with a rifle from one of his many weapons. Manco, on the other hand, walks into a saloon, plays cards with the target and beats the crap out of him. His cronies walk up behind Manco, but Manco uses the bar's mirror and his Improbable Aiming Skills to his advantage, before killing his target.
  • A little kid gets one over the Man with No Name by cheating him out of about five dollars (note: this is 19th century money) for pretty easily available information.
  • The final showdown, complete with Awesome Music and a Big Damn Heroes moment from Clint Eastwood.
    • Ennio Morricone's music, naturally, helps to really drive up the tension - especially when Manco pulls of the aforementioned Big Damn Heroes moment, to paraphrase a Youtube comment:
    *The second Manco hands off his bandolier and pistol to Col. Mortimer to restart the duel* Cue the horns!
  • The Colonel gives up over a million dollars (note: this is 19th century money) in bounties as well as stolen loot because he only wanted to get Revenge.
  • Manco manages to gun down the last surviving member of the gang when he attempts to sneak up on him. Also a humorous moment because the only reason he knew about the ambush was because he had counted all the bounties on the cart of the dead he'd assembled and was missing one.
  • The showdown where Manco and Colonel Mortimer shoot up each other’s hats to show off their gun skills. Each uses a different strategy. It serves as an attempt for each one to intimidate the other, and establishes their skill. They both respect (and annoy), the other one.
