A Fistful of Dollars

Published: Sept. 1, 2020, 6 a.m.

Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars laid some groundwork for what we know as the spaghetti western. Highly based on Yojimbo (let's be honest here, a rip off of Yojimbo), this movie still has a certain charm and a good story, even if it was inspired (taken) from the great samurai films of the '60s. Most of us young guns had yet to experience a movie with dialogue that was recorded after the photography had been shot, but it was still great to see a young Clint Eastwood do what he does best: be a straight up badass.
