It’s disappointing that the humor doesn't land effectively. Within the "Dollar" series, this installment showed some signs of cleverness, but it feels like a missed opportunity. There's a peculiar recurring count performed by the bounty hunters, and its eventual explanation doesn't quite redeem it. A noteworthy element involves the chimes and the action that occurs when they stop. We also learn the name of the character previously known only as "No Name." However, these positives are overshadowed by what seems to be a personal vendetta expressed through the film. It’s evident Leone was likely dealing with some negative experience involving a woman during its production, and he seems determined to eliminate brunette characters in increasingly elaborate ways—almost as if pursuing some kind of twisted achievement. He moved away from those themes shortly after completing this trilogy. It's difficult to ignore what appears to be his underlying Nazi ideology, and it significantly detracts from the overall experience. Beyond that, the characters lack believability, and their motivations are questionable. The narrative falls into a familiar trap where everyone in the West is either driven by violence or becomes its first casualty—there's no middle ground. The most grating aspect, likely to elicit frustration from anyone with even moderate intelligence, is Leone’s heavy-handed message: that extreme violence equates to godlike status and immortality. Only someone possessing similar qualities can defeat such a figure, and only a violent individual can achieve this elevated position. It suggests the sole path to divinity involves being the most ruthless killer. If everyone behaved in this manner, there wouldn't be anyone left capable of doing so.
