Story

Eastwood as the "Man with No Name" in For a Few Dollars More.

Eastwood (marketed as the "Man with No Name") and Van Cleef (as Colonel Douglas Mortimer and marketed as "The Man in Black") portray two bounty hunters in pursuit of "El Indio" (Volonté), one of the most wanted fugitives in the western territories, and his gang (one of whom is played by Kinski). Indio is a ruthless, intelligent man addicted to marijuana His drug-induced craziness is emphasized via closeups and flashbacks of the past. Indio has a penchant for duels set to the climactic end of the chiming of his timepiece. Van Cleef's character has a personal motive for his actions: his sister, as revealed at the film's end, killed herself while being raped by Indio, after he killed her husband moments before. Eastwood's character is, as in the other "Man with No Name" films, motivated mainly by money, but also by a sense of justice toward those he likes.

Production

Gian Maria Volonté as "El Indio" towards the end of the film

After the box-office success of A Fistful of Dollars in Italy, director Sergio Leone and his new producer, Alberto Grimaldi, wanted to begin production of a sequel, but they needed to get Clint Eastwood to agree to star in it. However, Eastwood had not even seen the first movie at this time, and was not ready to do another until he had. So Leone gave him an Italian print (an English version had not yet been made) and Eastwood brought some friends to screen the film with him at the CBS Production Center. The reaction was positive, and Eastwood agreed to do a sequel. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ... Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Characters

Monco

Eastwood's character is said to "go by the name of 'Monco'".^[1] "Monco" is a slang term meaning "maimed" or "disfigured". While Eastwood's character is not maimed, he performs nearly all actions using only his left hand, to leave free his right hand, with which he draws. His behaviour thus bears a joking resemblance to that of a one-armed man.

El Indio

Gian Maria Volonté as the villain "El Indio" in For a Few Dollars More.

El Indio (Spanish for "The Indian") played by Gian Maria Volonté is a ruthless character, considered by the authorities in the film to be one of the worst criminals of the times; according to a bank official "Not even Indio would dare to rob that one." In a flashback sequence it is revealed that he shot his partner and then raped his partner's sister. The girl shot herself in the process. He smokes cannabis to ease the intensity of the memory. In the film El Indio has a gang of 14 men who rob the bank at El Paso. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

El Indio has a twisted form of killing his enemies in a gun-duel. Using a musical locket he took from his partner's sister, he states to his opponents that they can both fire when the chimes end. El Indio, tormented by these chimes, has an advantage over opponents. In the film he uses this against three opponents; a former bandit who betrayed him, a member of his gang who he frames for having let Colonel Mortimer and 'Monco' (The Man With No Name) escape, and finally on Colonel Mortimer himself. In the last gun duel however it is clear that Mortimer also knows the chimes as he possesses the other locket, revealing the young girl as his sister and himself as the partner Indio shot and left for dead.

Colonel Douglas Mortimer

This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims. Please help Wikipedia by adding references. See the talk page for details.

Colonel Douglas Mortimer is a rival bounty hunter, though he is much older than Eastwood's character. He thinks his actions through and is referred to as a walking arsenal in the movie's theatrical trailers. He wears all black and smokes a pipe, as opposed to The Man with No Name who dons a brown poncho and smokes cigars. These two men cross paths in their quest for El Indio, though their motivations are quite different. Whereas Eastwood's character desires to collect the bounty on El Indio and his gang, it is eventually revealed by the end of the film that Mortimer sought revenge for his sister, who committed suicide while being raped by El Indio.
