GordonG Nov 2021 3:44pm, 2 Nov 2021 8,834 posts	0 GordonG that the 'Man With No Name' trilogy of films (Fistful of Dollars; For a Few Dollars More; The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly) aren't really a trilogy at all. They were always intended to be separate, stand alone films and were written as such. But by the time TGTBTU was being screened, the film company promoted them as being a trilogy as Clint Eastwood pretty much played the same character in all three. Also, despite TGTBTU being the final of the three films, it is set before the others. Also 2, the huge cemetery in the final scene of TGTBTU was constructed especially for the film by the Spanish Army. It was abandoned after the film and pretty much forgotten, until a bunch of enthusiasts restored it just a few years ago. It's now a tourist attraction. Also 3, near the end of TGTBTU there's a scene where a wooden bridge gets blown to smithereens. The army chief was supposed to give the signal to detonate it, but gave it too early. the bridge was destroyed without a single camera rolling. The army chief agreed to rebuild it so that it could be blown up again, this time with the cameras rolling. [i've just watched TGTBTU and a documentary about Sad Hill Cemetery]
