- Tuco mentally torturing a dehydrated Blondie in a sun-seared desert, easily his cruelest moment. It makes Blondie finally gaining the upper hand by finding out the name on the grave that much more awesome.
- Angel Eyes himself. Every time he appears, one can't help but be scared of what horrible action he will commit next in his quest for the money. The torture he puts Tuco through is the worst of it, not only because it's the most violent part of the film, but also because he deliberately sets up singing to drown out the man's agonized screams.
- Stevens helplessly watching his assassin walk right into his room, eat his food, and look at a picture of his wife and kids.Angel Eyes: (with a mild Slasher Smile) Nice family.
- The final showdown has the most awesomely chilling buildup. The scary part is we're worried about Tuco and we aren't sure he's going to make it. The look on his face is one of pure terror.
- Tuco's third near-hanging. Blondie forces him into a rope after the shootout and ties his hands, before riding away with half the gold, leaving him with the other half of the gold and certain death upon him. Blondie gradually gets further and further away until we can't see him at all. And every time Tuco cries "Blondie!", he almost loses his footing on the cross he's standing on. We also get an inversion of a Hope Spot as Blondie appears again, but we think he's going to shoot Tuco instead of the rope around his neck.
- Blondie's Tranquil Fury after the shootout is enough to make anyone cower in their seat.Blondie: You see, in this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
- Shorty Larson's execution. The hanging itself is nasty enough, but the guy was counting on Blondie saving him, unaware of Tuco interferring with their scam. Imagine being fully confident of your partner saving you from hanging, then when the judge says "proceed" you don't hear any shots that cut the rope, the horse is whipped out from under you, and down you go.
