The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Movie Quote Quiz

Man With No Name: The way I figure, there's really not too much future with a sawed-off runt like you.

Man With No Name: Every gun makes its own tune.

Tuco: I'll kill you.
Man With No Name: If you do that... You'll always be poor... Just like the greasy rat you are.

Tuco: There are two kinds of spurs, my friend. Those that come in by the door; those that come in by the window.

Tuco: You became a priest because you were too much of a coward to do what I do.

Tuco: Hurrah! Hurrah for the Confederacy! HURRAH! Down with General Grant! Hurrah for General... What's his name? Lee! LEE! Ha ha. God is with us because he hates the Yanks too. HURRAH!
Man With No Name: God is not on our side because he hates idiots also.

Other mistake: In the very last scene of the movie, and just before Blondie shoots the rope that is holding Tuco on the grave's cross. You can see a car moving in the background, screen right of Tuco's head. (02:55:29)

Suggested correction: I've just watched this scene; there's no car visible. There's a bit where Blondie prepares his gun prior to aiming, then the camera switches back to Tuco. To the right of Tuco, in the background, a blurry something can be seen for maybe a second moving right to left. The object is far too blurry to identify. There's no reason to believe it's a car. It makes more sense that it's a horse-drawn wagon.

Question: If Tuco seriously thought that The Man with No Name would shoot him, why did Tuco voluntarily stick his head in the noose? Death is death. Why choose hanging over gunshot?

Charles Austin Miller

Chosen answer: Tuco knew he had a better chance at survival (and the gold) by playing along with Blondie and keeping his balance on the cross, hoping Blondie does not miss the rope when he shoots. This final, deadly game was preferable to being shot outright by Blondie and dying a poor man.

Tuco had no idea that Blondie's intention was to shoot the rope and let him live.

Answer: Blondie wasn't trying to kill Tuco. The journey to find the gold was complete, and Blondie did not trust Tuco, so he just hung him, and left his half of the money, and shot the rope, not to kill him, but to leave him there.
