It's quite funny when it was brought to people's attention that Leone's action scenes were directed by other directors because he was incapable of doing so himself, it is ignored.
I wouldn't say that he was incapable, its mentioned in the commentaries on DYS that Leone was busy directing the principals and leaving the action to the second units. I could be the same in the other films.
Not according to Margheriti. He has nothing but praise for the man but it is said that he was uncomfortable shooting big action scenes and he left them to his ADs.
To Jenkins--what gave you the impression that I thought the thread was about me? I simply brought something to your attention that seems to be constantly overlooked. No need to pity me. You wish to incite some sort of battle of words with me but I have little time for you now. If you like, PM me your address and I will send you some toys. I have some old WW2 toy soldiers in the attic that could possibly bring some enjoyment to you and possibly help you to focus and read posts more carefully next time.
Well I don't know Joe.I know he did direct the bombed out town shootout in GBU because I have seen pics of him on that set.That shootout is pretty pedestrian stuff.
