Summary: What happened to the sound-video synchronisation?
Review: Yes - I know it's dubbed, etc. But something bad has happened to this film's transfer to DVD. The speech is so far out of synchronisation from the video that it is almost unwatchable. I have a VHS version of this film and the problem does not exist there. I also have DVDs of 'Fistful of Dollars' & 'Good, Bad & The Ugly', they don't suffer from the same problem. Can MGM (or somebody) get this sorted out?

Summary: Don't buy the MGM DVD version
Review: Why? So-so picture quality, but really let down by the sound - for long periods it's completely out of sync with the picture which for me really spoilt the viewing experience. A shame for what is an excellent movie. The transfers for the other Man with No Name films are much better.

Summary: Leone and Eastwood really knew how to make a western!
Review: For a Few Dollars More is the secnd installment of the man with no name trilogy.While,to me it's not as good as The Good,the Bad,and the Ugly,it's very good and just as good as A Fistful of Dollars.This time Eastwood plays a bounty hunter who teams with another bounty hunter named Colonel Douglas Mortimer,(played very well by Lee Van Cleef)to catch an outlaw named Indio.(played by Gian Maria Volonte',who played Ramon Rojo in A Fistful of Dollars.)There's plenty of action,great cinematography,and of course Ennio Morricone's excellent musical score.Overall,it's just a great western.

Summary: Better then any Western Hollywood ever did.
Review: Brillently directed by Sergio Leone.For a Few Dollars More finds Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef playing two boundy hunters who are out to get a vicious gunman and his gang who have stolen more then $200,000 dollars from a small town bank. The plot is more complex then in most Westerns, and while Clint's character is out for the reward money, Lee's character hides a painful screat that caused him to become what he is.

Summary: The Mother of All "Spaghetti" Westerns
Review: The baddest soundtrack/theme song to grace a Western movie - the coolest of the coolest characters (Eastwood and Van Cleef), the adrenalin rush of the impending struggle of anti-heroes vs. the scum of the West which will reach its logical conclusion .....And it's good, too.

Summary: EASTERN & WESTWOOD
Review: The dirty faces, the lyrical soundtrack, Clint, Lee, Gian Maria and Klaus, the southern spanish desert and the easy girl : they are all there in FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE. It's not, by far, the best spaghetti western but you can still appreciate this movie more than thirty years after its theatrical release. But I really think that the comic aspect of this film spoils its impact. In 1965, FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE is already a parody of the spanish-italian made western. Beginning of a decadence. Sweet revenge for the Duke and his friends. Gian Maria Volonte, one of the greatest italian, is terrific in the role of Indio, the drug addicted madman. Klaus Kinski is already rehearsing the role of Aguirre and Sergio Leone's direction will improve in the years to come. White spots, sad colours and sound of average quality is the technical trademark of this MGM product. A Dividi for Gian Maria.

Summary: The Man With No Name
Review: Prior to this film, the Western movie genre had just been about been done to death in the United States. It took an unknown Italian director (the ingenious Sergio Leone) borrowing from a Japanes film source (Kurosawa's Yojimbu) to create one of the most incredible anti-heroes in movie history: The enigmatic Man With No Name played by the legendary Cline Eastwood. "For a Few Dollars More" is the second film in the Man With No Name Trilogy. The first film was the highly-influential "A Fistful of Dollars," which seems to be perpetually playing on television. "A Fist Full of Dollars" was made for a mere $ 200,000, but was an incredible film. "For a Few Dollars More" is even better. It has a much higher budget and a much more complex plot than its predecessor. I don't want to reveal too much about the plot to this film for those who have never seen it. It's a great story. A landmark film that will never be forgotten. Make sure you see all three movies in this trilogy. The final chapter in this trilogy is "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," which might be the most well-known Western in the history of cinema. Again make sure you get a copy of this film. After watching this film, you'll wonder why Hollywood can't make films like this anymore. They should.

Summary: Second greatest spaghetti western ever!
Review: Only the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly surpass this incredible spaghetti western. The DVD video transfer is relatively crisp. Unfortunately, I noticed that about a good 30 seconds of the movie have been cut off! The part after Manco and Mortimer are beaten up by Indio's men, there is a quick jump to Indio saying: "What will the sheriff think?" The DVD does not have the dialogue before that where one of the henchmen says: "Why let them live? and Indio says: "All things at the right time", followed by a "What do you mean". So either this scene has been deleted or my DVD skips. I highly doubt it however, since there are no physical indications of damage on the back of the DVD. Furthermore, the skipping does not occur on any of my other DVDs.

Summary: Warning about the DVD!
Review: The DVD's I bought and saw had a voice soundtrack that was horribly out of sync to the point of ruining the movie. I don't see that anyone else mentioned it, but both copies I've seen had the same defect.

Summary: CLASSIC
Review: Nearly every Leone fan can agree that The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was by far his masterpiece, and he never surpassed it with his later films. But, for me, For a Few Dollars More is my second favorite Leone film, and I tend to watch it more often than the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Nearly every actor in the film (though mainly Van Cleef, Eastwood, and of course Kinski) chew up the scenery in every frame they are in and demand your attention. So, put all that charisma together, and you have fireworks. While Good, Bad, and the Ugly focused mainly on Eastwood and Wallach, For a Few Dollars gives Van Cleef a chance to shine with ease, cool, and that calculating, viper stare. (Ive always wanted to see another Leone/Van Cleef pairing, because Van Cleef was a far better anti-hero than Eastwood, due in large part to Eastwood being scruffy handsome and Van Cleef looking far more the part, devilishly handsome.) The device of Van Cleef's theme music is used here with great effect. The melody is a constant reminder throughout the film of Van Cleef's sense of purpose and drive. When the same device was later employed by Leone in Once Upon a Time in the West with Bronson having a theme, it just becomes annoying because Bronson has no strength to intimidate and is just plain flat. The only thing keeping For a Few Dollars More from being an equal to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is that the story lacks epic scale the latter had. It is a smaller movie, but as a whole, an equally entertaining one, worthy of much admiration.
