Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when 'Joe' is helping himself from the well, the angle to the sun varies from the left side to almost vertically. (00:03:00)
A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Sergio Leone
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Gian Maria Volonte, Marianne Koch, Wolfgang Lukschy
Joe escapes from San Miguel and slowly recovers from his injuries. He returns, wearing a boilerplate hidden under his poncho, and taunts Ramon, who repeatedly shoots him but can't kill him. When Joe walks close enough, he kills Ramon's bodyguards, shoots the rifle out of Ramon's hands, and then removes his armor and drops his revolver. "When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, you said the man with a pistol's a dead man. Let's see if that's true." They pick of their weapons at the same time, but Joe loads his revolver faster, and kills Ramon.

Trivia: The boots Clint Eastwood wears in this film are the same ones he wore in "Rawhide".
Question: When the Baxter House is lit on fire, everybody comes out the front door and is promptly shot. Was there no rear exit or window?
Answer: A house that size likely had a back door and windows. Being made of wood, the fire could spread quickly, and the flames may have blocked the rear exit, as well as thick smoke making it difficult to breathe and see where one is going. The front door was probably the closest exit. Of course, the point of the plot is that they all get shot when they run out.
