One of the best scenes in "Fistful Of Dynamite" (aka "Duck You Sucker, Giu' la testa), directed by the great Sergio Leone. Starring: James Cuburn & Rod Steiger.

The bridge was located in Almeria, Spain

Giù la Testa, roughly translated as Duck Your Head) also known as Duck, You Sucker! and Once Upon a Time... the Revolution is a 1971 Spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone. Leone was known to prefer the title Duck, You Sucker!, which he was convinced was a frequently used American phrase. Its plot is centered on two individuals, a poor Mexican bandit (played by Rod Steiger) and an ex-Irish Republican Army revolutionary (James Coburn), who meet during the turbulent Mexican Revolution

Compared to Leone's previous films, the Clint Eastwood "man with no name" trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West, his new work A Fistful of Dynamite gained lukewarm reviews and little notice. One reason could be Leone's insistence on using the Duck, You Sucker title, which gave potential movie-goers the mistaken impression that the film would be a comic western. (Duck, You Sucker is a fairly direct translation of the repeated phrase of the film, "Giù la Testa, coglione!" in the Italian version, where however the movie was titled just "Giù la Testa"). Leone was convinced the phrase "duck, you sucker" was a popular American expression, contrary to the advice of his American stars Rod Steiger and James Coburn that they had never heard of that phrase. When the film was edited for a re-release in 1972, it was re-titled A Fistful of Dynamite by the studio, hoping to capitalize on Leone's first hit, A Fistful of Dollars.

Although the film is often overlooked in Leone's œuvre, many critics have praised its cinematography and its quirky score by Ennio Morricone. The film itself has gained greater stature over time.

Worth the effort of watching. A under-rated film which deserves more kudos.

Great job finding the location and I appreciate the work you put into matching the scenes.

What I find unusual is that the movie is about a Spanish-speaking fascist leader getting overthrown, and they were allowed to film it in Spain (then under Franco)!

Has anyone uploaded the scene that comes after this?
