Duck, You Sucker [Region 2] description
A different sort of Sergio Leone Western, this one takes place during the Mexican Revolution, with more politics than usual. But there's still plenty of action, with Rod Steiger as a cigar-chomping peasant who robs banks to liberate political prisoners, and James Coburn as an Irish terrorist trying to flee from his bitter past. They team up to thwart a sadistic officer and help the cause; redemption for the more subdued Coburn provides added depth. This contains the longer uncut version (released in Italy) known as Duck, You Sucker, featuring more flashbacks, more politics, and a more unsavory Steiger. But it's terrific fun, with Ennio Morricone's moody score and Coburn's most underrated performance. --Bill Desowitz |

Dynamite Ending!
|
"A Fistful of Dynamite" (also known as "Duck You Sucker!") is a story about revolution during the time of Pancho Villa. In the film Juan Miranda (Rod Steiger) is a Mexican bandit who, after just robbing a stage coach, shoots out a tire on a strange motorcyclist in full gear. The motorcyclist is Sean Mallory (James Coburn) who has flashbacks of his background as an Irish terrorist. After they meet - Sean shows Juan his coat full of dynamite and says that if he is shot, everyone blows up. Something clicks between them - two strange and somewhat wacky men. Juan talks Sean into robbing the Bank of Mesa Verde. Sean, with his gaming personality, fixes things so that Juan frees many political prisoners while looking for the safe in the bank. After that, Juan begins to change from a bandit to a full- blown revolutionary, while Sean develops in another way.
There are many surprises, some wry humor, and good scenery and props. The Mexican Army reminded me of Hitler's SS Troops but almost in cartoon-like way. There are many exciting scenes and more blasts along the way. This movie has it all.
I enjoyed the movie - well done and not a "canned" type of Western. Interesting characters who lead you through all kinds of and twists and turns. The only thing I must add is that the movie was two and a half hours and it could easily been cut to move faster in scenes - especially the fighting. Because it was unusual it generally held my interest; James Coburn and Rod Steiger were fantastic and worked magic together as quirky characters in a movie full of adventure, action and war. The "down side," however, is that the film sometimes drags.
