Amazon.com essential video: A ringing instance of a sequel far outstripping its predecessor, Sergio Leone's For a Few Dollars More takes the lethal antihero from A Fistful of Dollars, gives him both a rival and an adversary worthy of sharing a gun-blazing corrida, and ratchets up the stylization to something approaching grandeur. This time the Man with No Name (Clint Eastwood) is a bounty hunter whose desert Southwest killing ground is suddenly crowded by the presence of an older, black-clad shootist (Lee Van Cleef). Individually and together, they terminate sundry grotesques while closing in on their biggest quarry, a memorably insane bandit called El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté is brilliant). There's just enough plot to imbue Van Cleef with genuine mystery, a dark avenging angel from a lost past whose pull would supply the emotional core of Leone's later masterworks Once upon a Time in the West and Once upon a Time in America. Leone's bravura widescreen compositions are breathtaking, and Ennio Morricone's music score--tinged with lunatic religiosity--is his first great one. --Richard T. Jameson
A Few Bodies More One of Eastwood's and Leone's greatest movies. Realistic, symbollic and subtle, all at the same time. Eastwood as "Blondie" and Lee Van Cleef as Col. Mortimer [the Man in Black] are excellent in their mutual animosity and gruding cooperation. "Indio" is truly evil and fascinating in his unrepentant greed.
Best Western... If Clint Eastwood didn't win an Academy award for this movie, he should have. This is a story about three men. All of whom are very, very greedy. Each one of them possesses their own set of rules regarding getting the "goods". This is an older movie that was first released in the 1960s (I was just a mere kid then). I remember it fondly because of its unforgettable musical score. I have that tune on my cell phone now. I remember that either the score or that particular cut won an award the following year. Anyway, if you like westerns, you'll love this one.
Haunting western and musical score! Morricone's musical score makes this film a masterpiece in Eastwood's second installment of the man with no name trilogy. One of my favorite westerns of all time. Five stars!

This is one of the spaghetti western movies that launched Clint Eastwood eventually onto a path of fame and fortune. It's worth watching just to see how far he's come.
Recommended for fans of the spaghetti western and Clint Eastwood.

My favorite western!!! For A few Dollars More is an excellent movie. It is way too underrated. There is more action in this one than The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, and doesn't seem to be slow paced. It's a story about bounty hunters, badits, rewards, and revenge. Clint Eastwood plays a bounty hunter known as Manco. Lee Van Cleef plays a tough, hard-noosed, former Confederate Army officer turned bounty hunter named Colonel Douglas Mortimer. The two men are on the trail of El Indio, a blood-thirsty bandit, and murderer. The only problem is that El Indio has too many men assisting him. And there is a 10,000 reward for the capture of El Indio, dead or alive. Their solution; become partners, and split the reward. There's a twist though. Manco simply wants the reward, while Mortimer's reason for getting El Indio is more personel; he wants revenge for the rape and murder of his sister. This is by far one of the most action-packed western ever made.
