Duck, You Sucker!
DVD Cover
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The theatrical re-release poster with the new title A Fistful of Dynamite Duck! You Sucker! Sergio Leone and stars James Coburn as a fugitive Irish explosives expert who escapes to Mexico to only find himself mixed up in another revolution. This film was released in the US under the title "Duck, You Sucker!", which is the literal English translation of the Italian title (which is "Giù la testa, coglione!"). However, it was subsequently re-released under the title A Fistful of Dynamite in order to capitalize on Leone's previous films. MGM would later release the film on DVD under the original title. Duck! You Sucker! was Leone's last western as well as his most overlooked film, mostly due to the movie being marketed as a comedy/satire of westerns, especially his earlier 'Man With No Name' trilogy.
The following weapons were used in the film Duck, You Sucker! :
Handguns Single Action Army Juan (Rod Steiger ) uses a Single Action Army Cavalry throughout the film, most notably to threaten John. It is also used by revolutionaries and the soldiers. A shorter SAA with a 4.75" barrel is also shown.
