The Man With No Name (nicknamed "Monco" or "Manco", respectively Italian and Spanish slang for "missing one hand", because he does nearly everything with his left hand in order to keep his right hand free to draw and fire) and Colonel Mortimer, a skillful [[Bounty Hunter]], are both hunting the famed gang leader El Indio. The Man With No Name is motivated by money; the Colonel is motivated by [[Revenge]]. After the two bounty hunters [[Let's You and Him Fight|clash]], they put aside their differences and team up to capture Indio. As part of their plan, Manco infiltrates Indio's gang by busting one of Indio's friends out of prison. However, the plan does not work out as hoped.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Col. Mortimer's Buntline Special. Its longer barrel gives Mortimer an edge in distance, meaning he can wait out of a pistol's normal range and line up shots, but that same long barrel also prevents him from quickdrawing it, a disadvantage in some of the situations he finds himself in. He carries a derringer up his sleeve for such emergencies.

** It was somewhat practical for those who preferred a pistol grip as opposed to the lever action.

* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: Lets face it, this film's more about Col. Mortimer and his quest for vengeance than Manco.

* [[Defiled Forever]]: {{spoiler|Colonel Mortimer's sister}}, whose reaction doubles as a [[Stupid Sacrifice]].

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Indio does this a lot.

* [[Freudian Trio]]: Manco's the Ego, Mortimer the Superego, and El Indio a very crazed Id.

** He also likes to place whoever he's facing at a disadvantage, such as surrounding them with goons or removing their guns from easy access. It's only when {{spoiler|Manco steps in at the end}} that he actually has to fight fairly.

*** Also, Indio's heard the song a thousands times while his opponents have no clue when the music might end. This of course puts him on equal terms with Col. Mortimer.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv0b9TxAtG4 And totally badass.]

* [[You Look Familiar]]: [[Lee Van Cleef]] played the Bounty Hunter Colonel Douglas Mortimer, who worked as the protagonist's ally. Van Cleef later plays the villain Angel Eyes in ''The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly''.

** El Indio's actor, Gian Volonte, also played Ramon, the villain in ''[[A Fistful of Dollars]]''. It can be somewhat jarring if you watch the two movies back to back.
