In the film planning stage, the director Sergio insisted on asking Henry Fonda to play the role of Joe the Lonely Gunner, but the film's production company could not pay the film's remuneration for Henry Fonda, who was already well-known in Hollywood at the time, and Sergio had to give up. His second candidate was Charles Bronson, who had starred in business cards such as "The Great Escape" and "The Heroic Seven Dragons", but Bronson refused Sergio's invitation after reading the script. Next, Ty Harding, Steve Reeves, and James Cobain all rejected the role. Then Sergio approached Richard Harrison, and as a result, he refused his invitation after learning about Sergio.
The desperate producer brought a list of the second-tier actors who were not well-known in Hollywood. The producer asked Harrison to recommend candidates. Harrison pointed casually and pointed on Clint Eastwood's name. Clint Eastwood was an unknown little actor at the time, so the crew followed Harrison's "instructions" and found Eastwood.
Director Sergio León did not want Ennio Morricone to be the soundtrack for the film at first, because although the two were classmates in childhood, Morricone’s past works did not leave him any deep impression. impression. After hearing Morricone's original composition for the film, Leon quickly put other people's works aside. Since then, all the soundtracks of Leon's films have come from Morricone. In the soundtrack of the film, the character's individual music is Morricone's golden signature. He composed his own music for the three main characters in the film. The whistle and whiplash used by him also appeared in the soundtrack for the first time.

    Triangle (two gangs of "bad ass" and a good guy... a little bit used to the right and wrong view of westerns...). "Bullet" for reference? Use of dead bodies, wading shallows. Wait... "One Servant and Two Masters", "Stick with Heart", I... Hey, have you not changed Dongmu's outfit?

    The pace of old commercial films is really slow... Why does the screenwriter still have Akira Kurosawa, the old movie looks good from beginning to end, and now I really think it is the Seven Samurai, and the old man who gives one more star is the last shot to measure the corpse is very bright...

A Fistful of Dollars quotes

  • Silvanito: I'm alive, and I want to remain with the living, understand? And when I'm dead, I want to remain with the dead. And I would be unhappy if somebody living forces me to remain with the living.

  • Joe: [He's hiding in an empty coffin outside the coffin-maker's shop] Come here.

    Piripero: I can't see anybody.

    Joe: Come here!

    Piripero: [Goes over to a coffin on a wagon; Joe is inside] Dios mio!... What are you doing in there?

    Joe: Never mind. Get me out of here.

    Piripero: But, you're not dead yet.

    Joe: I will be, if you don't get me out of here, quick. Get that lid down!
