If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.
Tuco and Blondie have an agreement: Tuco commits crimes, Blondie catches him, he gets the bounty, he frees Tuco from the noose at the last minute with a well-aimed shot, Tuco gets away, they split the reward and start all over again. But Blondie’s noticed something: Tuco’s bounty isn’t going up anymore. He’s decided to cut him loose… in the middle of the desert. Understandably, Tuco’s upset by this. He hunts down Blondie, gets the drop on him and takes him to the desert to suffer from dehydration before dying… but a few hours in, Tuco finds a shot up stage coach. He talks to the dying driver who reveals he knows the location of a buttload of gold coins. When Tuco tries to get the man water to keep him talking, he returns to find the man dead and Blondie hearing his last words. Now, both men half half of the necessary information on how to find it and they’ll have to work together to get it… if they can survive each other and a clever, lethal criminal named Angel Eyes.
Shit Just Got Real! – Blondie and Tuco have gone from crazy situation to crazy situation but now in the home stretch, they look over a hill… to discover a massive North/South war zone.
Pure Adrenaline Percentage – 50% The movie moves at a brisk pace and never stops being fun and energetic, but the fights are usually short, often focusing more on tension. Still, the action is less traditional west shoot-outs and has more of a Looney Toons zaniness until the absolutely super-tense and masterful final fight, which, again, is more about tension being ratcheted to an unbelievable degree than a kinetic storm of bullets.
