For me it was always on the late night TV circuit, I think it was the TV channels trying to fill up their late night tv schedules...Saw it first back in the mid 80's as a kid and thought that was cool...Then when saw again on tv got a few things more out of the storyline that I missed before.  About time in 90's   I was then getting the video and the dvd releases with deleted scenes I was truly blown away with the masterpiece and completly obessed with the film.  Plus I wanted to learn more, especially about the civil war back then.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly / Question the dying solider scene "dyin anit much of a livin boy"

"dyin anit much of a livin boy"


Saw this discussed on the youtube clip from the dying solider scene.  It says that the quote by blondie was cut out because it was deemed anti-war.  I know that Clint used it on pale rider movie.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

I always wondered if Serio initially wanted Benny Hill to play the part of that nerdy hotel manager because they look quite alike.  Apparently Benny Hill was too busy doing Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.
