** Juan Miranda and his band of outlaws from Leone's ''[[A Fistful of Dynamite|A Fistful Of Dynamite]]'' are also worth a mention.

** El Indio of ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' takes the sterotypical bandito [[Up to Eleven]]. A drug-addicted [[Large Ham]] who stalks women, murders families, rigs duels, and takes trophies from his victims, he spends most of the film in an oppium-induced haze, while plotting to use [[Anti-Hero|Monco]] and [[Best Served Cold|Colonel Mortimer]] to do his dirty work, wiping out his gang and leaving all the money from his robberies for him.

** The Rojo brothers of ''[[A ~~Fistfulof~~ Dollars]]'' are banditos-turned-bootleggers, who sell alcohol on both sides of the border, and have an ugly rivalry with the Baxters, a family of white-collar American gunrunners. While two of the brothers are absolutely stereotypical, Ramon subverts it somewhat by being totally evil, but [[Evil Genius|very bright]].
