A Fistful of Dynamite (also known as Duck You Sucker) is a sprawling "Spaghetti Western" directed by the master of the genre, Sergio Leone. The story is of the Mexican revolution and a peasant thief (Rod Steiger) who teams up with an explosives expert (James Coburn). Astonishing action sequences coupled with Leone's dry wit and Ennio Morricone's offbeat score. Restored version with 20 minutes of new footage, Dolby Digital Sound and a brand new 35mm print.

Part of The Astor's Tribute to Sergio Leone.

Rating: ***1/2
