Il Mercenario - L'Arena

[totto17totto]

Magnifico

[alfonso986]

Capolavoro assoluto !

[wallyndor]

really really awesome great job

[kallo182]

Franco Nero is also the General from Die Hard 2.

And Terence Hill is ben casted for the Nobody Western because he looks like Franco Nero.

A very Charismetic Man.

[juicemane59]

@kallo182 WOW !! i didnt realize Nero was the general from die hard 2 til you mentioned it ....interesting.

[apadilla014]

This song makes me feel like never giving up in life when things are going bad. I have a special feeling in my heart for this uplifting,inspiring song that spells,sings, and says never say die!

[Al9369]

@apadilla014 That's exactly how I feel about this song ;)

[ritttchieeee]

Awesome



[kokoinmars]

A real man only ever uses a gun or his bare fists to kill.

[Al9369]

3:10 what is he laughing at?

[Mullahgrrl]

@Al9369 He is in a duell at gunpoint with a man dressed as a clown, would you be able to hold a straight face?

[SpeckdrummHD]

@Al9369 I believe that his face is full of (over)confidence. Like, how could he, the cold-hearted killer, ever lose a duel against a clown?

[sEaNoYeAh]

@Al9369 Could be a look of self-assurance and arrogance. Or maybe the way he closes his eyes and breathes heavily is to show the appearance of a man who knows it's 'his time', and is ready for it; with the look at 3:55 being the face of a man who prematurely thinks he's cheated fate.

[Pyre001]

I paused this. I don't want to spoil the ending...

[iamviewingurvideos]

I came here to get high off this song.

[Karami]

this was before movies were in HD, 3D, or were loaded with special computer FXs

amazing

[LXEagle]

that is about the coolest ting I ever saw! :)

[Earthwalker40]

That really suked.



[Traveler79World]

I've seen the English version come on quite a bit on 'This TV'. I'm pretty sure the movie was actually done in English. That certainly doesn't sound like Franco Nero's voice. The English version did though.

Amazing movie! Franco Nero was truly one of the most underated actors of all time.

[SaenWyrWulf]

@Traveler79World It *was* orginally done in English. Sort of. Most Spaghetti Western films at the time, since they weren't filmed or made by Americans, were actually filmed SILENTLY, with the dialogue inserted and/or overdubbed later. Sometimes they'd use different voice actors for a role, even if the actor spoke English. You can see some of that in "For a Few Dollars More" when Col. Mortimer first appears.

[datsome80]

@SaenWyrWulf I heard they got Nero, Palance and Milan to do their own voices in english, but everyone else is different.

[datsome80]

@datsome80 My mistake. Musante, not Milan, sorry.

[MrColorfulcat]

This theme goes right through you! Absolutely, brilliantly done! I'd love to hear the words in English, though it's easy to see what's going on. The music reminds me of Herb Alpert's The Lonely Bull, mixed with "Il Silenzio," a haunting trumpet song. But this is something different, something better, all its own.

[Hydorior]

Ok, Pai Mei. Here I come...

[theinterestingsydney]

by god the reaction shots in this scene are amazing.

[kregerfilms]

This was the only good part of this movie, sadly...

[8down10]

sergio corbucci is truly one of the most underrated directors of all time

[1800slumlord]

Ok 2 great scenes same song. Kill Bill escape scene VS L'Arena wich one is better GO.

[Akibagirls]

fucking amazing!

[Karami]

fucking epic

[juventino783]

this song brings tears to my eyes, such a great masterpiece...

[BeardedHoplite]

"I think the Po-lock caught himself a big fish"

[kaylabubbles11]

this song is supose to make you high.

[Maneus76]

The best Movie Theme ever!

[juve3030]

Sick duel!

[Mizukage6]

Making us wait for that third bell ring while that music is playing! Now I know where Tarantino gets it! The suspense is killing me! I love it!

[afhakers]

MEXICAN STAND OFF FTW!

[Sunburn21591]

@afhakers that's not a mexican stand off. that's what you see at the end of reservoir dogs. this is just a great duel

[jk94111]

sorry if i sound naive, but is there a reason why the bad guy gets shot in the heart and it takes him a good 10 seconds for him to realise?? Im trying to think of reasons but I cant.

[YeddiBoy]

@jk94111 Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. It was probably running through him more than the clown, which is why the clown felt his.

[Mullahgrrl]

@YeddiBoy But what about his clothes and the carnatio? How did they stay intact?

[SaenWyrWulf]

"Keep dreaming, Paco, but with your eyes open."

[SoftandFluffy]

**america....i meant in the west....omg, sorry. My mind is going...hahaha

[SoftandFluffy]

Awesome soundtrack....rollicking great fun. One of the 3 great final movie duels, along with for a few dollars more and Once upon a time in america...which is the best....impossible to decide

[vasa0408]

@SoftandFluffy

I totally agree, but I would add the fourth duel ( triel :-) ) - The good, the bad and the ugly. The cemetery scene is one of the best scenes ever.

[mrbeanchannel]

This is in my top 10 favourite movies and this scene is in my top 10 favoutite film scenes!

[aurbina12]

This movie Kick-ass

[B818Champ]

This is a decent movie, but the duel is EPIC

[HEILIGEPOTTSAU]

EPIC

[41stSOUTHsuicide]

best italo western ever



[ninjasauceshadow]

finally saw this one on netflixs. Good movie

[Friendo1231]

@axledante He probably ran off.

[dangi79]

He's Franco Nero=Django!

[Takeshi357]

...and this movie STILL hasn't been released on DVD outside Italy (where it has no english translation) and Japan (where it's OOP and crazy expensive)!

[swlocations]

@Takeshi357 There a Koch Media version from Germany, I bought a copy from Amazon.de it has an English soundtrack and great picture quality.

[Automatic74]

This video is all i need to inspire me to get up out of my seat, Face the world and do the dishes. pure magic.

[betlamed]

Did people actually wear underpants back then?

[TheV100]

@betlamed Yes they did wear underpants back then. But I don't understand how that has anything to do with this scene.

[betlamed]

@TheV100 You can see that one guy is wearing one. I thought it might be an anachronism. ;-)

[Automatic74]

Do not have a stag night in mexico

[thenfm]

fuckin ggay

[Automatic74]

Any of you arse holes see the HMV poster in 40th seconds?......No you did not..........This tune inspired me to play trumpet... ..

[Automatic74]

lol keep them comin Mrs and general

[DIRTYSANCHEZ423]

Ok Pai Mei, here I come!

[generallegendary]

what is that instrument that plays when he walks down? ive tried looking up all kinds of whistles and cannot find out what it is!

[MrSwanley]

@generallegendary You're kidding, right? The "instrument" is Allessandro Allessandroni's lungs, tongue and lips: it's a man whistling. Albeit one of the best ever recorded whistlers!

[generallegendary]

@MrSwanley that man, was pure poetry, thank you

[ritarhan]

it's perfect

[HallowsReign23]

Wow, this is awesome..........

[argentineando]

This is a brilliantly directed scene that all film students should see

[MANTLEBERG]

HE LOOKED A RIGHT POOF ANYWAY

[Ajikankid]

I like how you can tell what generally went on in this movie just by the way this scene is set up.

[frazleburger]

is that jack palance?

[campoobutt]

@frazleburger Yep.

[Pattipu]

His name is Franco Nero

[Pattipu]

His name is Franco Nero

[maviswld]

I have not seen this movie...who is the fair haired man ringing the bell? He is very handsome.

[MrJonnyboyification]

they just dont make scenes like this anymore , or music

[kangur890]

masterpiece



[pbanta62]

See, modern filmakers one and all, how such a profound effect can be achieved with so little blood? Watch and learn!

[ninjasauceshadow]

I cant understand the language but the song itself is enough for me

[superfest18]

its amazing how Quentin found this movie and was so inspired by it he put the music into his own. It goes to show how amazing of a director he is

[BaronVonPenguin]

Can anybody identify the music from this advert "Kelloggs - Crunchy Nut - Flush Him Out - UK Advert" Its a total rip off of L'arena but ironically is probably more well known in Britain and Ireland than the original. It was in a number of adverts in the 80s. Just type in Crunchy Nut Flush to get to the advert if you're curious.

[8down10]

@BaronVonPenguin ive just seen the advert and actually it's not L'arena. I'm a bit of a spaghetti western fan and have seen quite a few and it's the theme from another spaghetti called "the forgotten pistolero."

[BaronVonPenguin]

@8down10 You sir should be knighted!

[8down10]

@BaronVonPenguin lol, no problem mate

[lafe502]

franco nero y jack palance lo mejor que escena , la musica , esto es una obra maestra del cine

[nath909]

Biblical. This is all kinds of epic. Even more epic than the parting of the Red Sea, and that was epic.

[77102]

Nothing like a old Western Movie in Italian!

[JuanchoBay]

@77102 It's Spaghetti Western, and it is Italian, not from USA

[funktapus]

Ennio Morricone is godly

[6strprodigy]

Jack Palance died in every movie he made.

[SoundTrackWestern]

la musica crea todo el ambiente... puro western... perfecto

[trejo2518]

This song just gets me

[CharlotteLacrym]

That is one badass clown.

[HaVeGoTMoJo]

I think the 5 dislikes want to like this but have a bad mouse^^

[castingveracruz]

Sin duda alguno todo un clásico del cine, la música del maestro @Ennio Morricone es magistral.

[bongmoke420]

Revenge the gunfighter is just a epic movie i bought diss movie for 5 bucks at wal mart it came with like 19 other movies 2 lol

[AprilFoolsShort]

i made a short film where i tried to do justice to this song - warning: not for everybody!

** just click my profile and its the only thing there! **

[GenevaMae93]

The clown shot all his fancy ketchup packets. D:

[Blademaster865]

and the clown wins! THE CLOWN WINS!

[Mullahgrrl]

Morricone just captivates the rawness of emotions somehow, It is very hard to listen to without getting engaged.

[yugenxzyugen]

a classic

[jamolina72]

Superb scene. Jack Palance makes a masterpiece with such expressions, no words..and the music, absolutely wonderful, it takes images to another level, within epic and legend

[roku4ever]

One of the most inspirational pieces of music I've ever heard

[Mizukage6]

I don't know if it's logical to compare the two, but with this one song, I think Ennio Morricone is better than John Williams, and I'm a Star Wars fanatic!

[rainingblood001]

@Mizukage6 John Williams is a just Wagner wannabe.

[spas16]

@rainingblood001

No,just no. But Morricone is great.

[mmeikol]

@Mizukage6 we think exactly the same

[MrTinyterrier]

Wow! Awesome clip, the expression on Jack Palance's face after the 2nd bell was absolute genius, you could feel the tension!

[SimonTheJester]

This is awesome.

[ElenaG08]

I think the music works amazingly in both this and Kill Bill. Fantastic.

[22Burnette]

Interesting

[TheTangist]

The clown > Life

[PatrikMetallica]

EPIC AS HELL!!!!!!

[ChocoShrimpz]

one of the most epic , beautiful, amazing and suspenseful scene EVAAAAAAR!!!!!

[FesteringHeadsFilm]

sweet sweet widescreen

[boboben1830]

EPIIC.

[Rambo4President]

Two people are blind and deaf.

[Lawlzinator]

Well, if it wasn't for tarantino using this song, I would have never found out about this movie.

He brings an interest to morricone's works and in turn, the movies that the songs were made for.

[SaenWyrWulf]

It takes a real man to have a duel in a clown costume and keep his red nose on.

[NarakumiNoJutsu]

I migliori western sono italiani, la musica è all'eccellenza in film come questo.

Ennio Morricone è un genio al pari dei grandi musicisti nella storia.

Peccato solo vedere che due somari hanno votato Non mi piace....

Incredibile non apprezzare i capolavori...

[graverobber13]

Quentin borrows tons of stuff. i personally consider it as a great homage. obviously its never a direct ripoff.  Plus its kinda cool for all the film enthusiasts who catch most of, if not all of the references.

[kleptomaniac0]

Does this have a region 1 DVD release? I can't find a single one except for a really awful full screen compilation of a bunch of spaghetti westerns.

[partouzeurdedroite]

I think that despite great camera angles, the scene is still not worth the music wich is one of the best i've ever listened to. (Tarantino did a worse job ofc)

[MONTYRAMONES]

che finale!!!!!!

[Gracemerria]

1:31 best part with the sounds from the gun 

[talesofhorror1]

two persons are deaf

[Automatic74]

cowboy could have called the police.  sick bastierd got his longjohns wet watchin koko shittin his! However!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this tune and video is my 5 yr old son's and my favourite to date .... i will try to learn the trumpet after i can whistle.

[TheSparkle7]

is that jack palance from city slickers?

[cricachina]

@TheSparkle7 this is where "curly" came from...

[BoTefa80]

The Music is great and the acting is unbeleivable.. extreemly good!!

[nath909]

I'm drunk and its still 1 of the greatest movie scenes and songs ive heard. Thank god for predictive text

[nath909]

The Italians knew a thing or two about style in movies back in these days.

[zominym]

This one of the soundtracks of "Kill Bill"... I love Quentin Tarantino...

[hpmanson]

@zominym quentin tarantino, the only thing he can do is steal ideas, dialogue and soundtracks these great movies, this song is the best composer Ennio Morricone, Tarantino does not have ideas,is like a toddler making movies, these directors made us vibrate long before Tarantino was born

[McNugget06]

@hpmanson You're an idiot, sir. Taking things from other movies and putting them in yours for a different effect is not stealing. Every director that's ever lived or mattered has done that.

[hpmanson]

@McNugget06 taking things from other movies and putting them in yours for a different effect is steal and have nothing to imagination, sees all tarantino movies and is the same old shit, I repeat is a child playing the director and I believe a child has more imagination and could do something totally original, and lastly you can kiss my dick, sucker.

[McNugget06]

@hpmanson So by that standard Francis Ford Coppola, Sergio Leone, John Woo, Martin Scorsese, Jean Pierre Melville, Brian De Palma, Nicholas Ray, Ripley Scott, Jack Hill, Sam Fuller, Joel Coen, Sam Raimi, and Paul Thomas Anderson are thieves? Shut the fuck up retard.

[McNugget06]

@hpmanson Also the only thing original about your dumbass opinion is your fucked up grammar. Go back to grade school and learn how to make a fuckin' sentence, stupid.

[zominym]

@hpmanson Tarantino wanted to make an homage to westerns in Kill Bill, it's why it contains the soundtracks of famous Westerns! You're fuckin' stupid!!!

[hpmanson]

@zominym suppose that was a tribute in kill bill, but and other films from tarantino, were also tributes? not think so, not only steals the soundtracks also the dialogues and ideas, that is not to have imagination, but my comment hurts you, you know it's true, cya suckers

[McNugget06]

@hpmanson Dialogue and ideas? What the fuck are you talking about? So did Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars steal ideas and dialogue from Akira Kurasawa's Yojimbo? Dumb motherfucker, shut up.

[zominym]

@hpmanson I'm french, so I don't undertand all you said. I just think you're an ignorant!!!!

[Rambo4President]

Legendary.

[jaraha]

wow cool scene

[manniman82]

Incredible scene, I love Jack Palance's reaction after the second blow of the bell. I bet those were the best, most intense few seconds of his life because after the bell rang for the second time he actually realized this could be his last moments alive. He lived the best high possible between the second and third ring of the bell.

[ninjasauceshadow]

is there an english version or subtitles?

[kimblers]

@ninjasauceshadow Search The Mercenary L'arena and you can see the clip in English.

[arcguede]

Ennio is a Mozart of western !

[pete6661]

The most amazing song from Ennio Morricone!

[sergeikowalski]

The english translation would be:

"Hello Curly, here we meet again...but perhaps for the last time. If you want to kill him, at least give him a chance to defend himself. I'll give you each a bullet...walk in opposite directions...and at the third blow of the bell...you turn...and shoot...go..."

[monksally]

Is Palance the bad guy?

[tendeum]

os violentos vão para inferno franco nero  bom filme do spaghetty 1968

[inplane99]

I don't know who to express this in english but definitely Trantino have a privileged ear or whatever you called it, his inspiration in Soundtraks are as good as his inspiration for movies...

[Ignod]

Morricone is magnificent. This piece is so haunting I don't know whether to shiver or cry!

[Youboga]

no puedo evitar pensar en "El bueno el malo y el feo".... >_< ... ocuparia verla... pero wey no manches se parece un chingo al duelo final.

[nubzy10]

COOL!!! :-)

[felloffthebus]

That was awesome

[nubzy10]

I know what there saying because I'm Mexican so ha!

[jkdbjjconnection]

I wanna know what their saying!!! It must be epic

[nubzy10]

Cool!

[lexvj19871]

Christian Bale?

[mckampela]

I want to see this movie, just to understand what the heck is going on and why the music is so epic.

[ynot061]

this movie is the shit, i happened to run by it on a movie channel callked THIS... and oh man, totally bout me back to WHAT...KILL BILL baby

[UltimateMoviesMan]

There is no way on Earth that you can go wrong with a Spaghetti Western. Of course, a Spaghetti Western isn't a Spaghetti Western unless it's been touched with Ennio Morricone's brilliant music.

[SuperTony909]

of course u've seen the fist full of dollars trilogy just as great
