The safe that Indio robs with his gang in El Paso contains Confederate dollar notes.

Sergio Leone wanted Henry Fonda for the role of Col. Mortimer, but Fonda turned it down. Leone next approached Charles Bronson, who wasn't interested, and Lee Marvin, who refused it because he had just signed to make Cat Ballou (1965). It was then that Leone offered the role to Lee Van Cleef, who hadn't worked in films since How the West Was Won (1962), although he had worked fairly steadily in television. Van Cleef thought that Leone only wanted him for a few scenes, and was astounded when he discovered that he was actually to be the co-star.

Q

What are the differences between the MGM Blu-ray Version and the Italian Blu-ray?

A

The UK Blu-ray lacks 6 scenes with a total length of 44 seconds. The first four cuts are equal to the German DVD. But the last cut is exclusively on the UK Blu-ray. The sixth cut has also been made for the German Versions but only the first 10 sec. The remaining 15 sec are exxlusively on the UK Blu-ray again. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.. But the Italian Blu-ray is missing one scene as well that can be found in the German TV Version, which is missing another scene. Again a detailed comparison can be found here.

All MGM widescreen releases are slightly censored. They're missing the scene in which Indio stops the beating of Monco and Mortimer. This scene can be found on the German DVD by Paramount. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
