If anyone ever say to you that something won't happen just say "This train'll stop at Tucumcari". It sums it all up.

Yeah and he was aBOUT to REALLY "get off" if that railroad man kept running his trap. "I DID get off, thanks." lolololol while he was scratching where he wasn't itching (showing his 'gun'). R.I.P. Lee Van Cleef.

The timing here is impossible. He knew exactly when to pull the emergency cord, how long it would take the train to stop at EXACTLY the perfect spot for him to exit the ramp with his horse. I thought Hollywood was fantasyland until I saw the Italians could do it even better !!

As if the train would not stop there, anyway.

What is the gauge of that Spanish railroad? 5-feet 3-inches?

They should have at least changed the whistle to make it sound like an American locomotive.

Bad Van Cleef, Bad Van Cleef - stopping the wheels from turning and their sliding on the rails probably caused flat spots on them.

In addition, you can see Castle La Calahorra to the left of the locomotive at 1:33!

I first saw Van Cleef in the 1952 western "High Noon" with Gary Cooper.  He was good in that one but PERFECT in this one !! Great scene.

Lee Van Cleef is so awesome he pulls the emergancy handle & the train stops exactly at the ramp so he could walk his horse down.

at the time Van Cleef was being ignored in Hollywood, he was broke, had turned to drink and was working as a painter/decorator to try and make ends meet when Leone, fascinated by his features, offered him the role of Colonel Mortimer after Robert Ryan had rejected the part...FAFDM turned Van Cleef into an international star and he went on to make more than 30 westerns at $250,000 a time...a great story

[Kocayine]

It's Sergio Leone's.
