* ''[[Once Upon a Time in the West]]'', [[Sergio Leone]]'s second-to-last spaghetti western, features as its bad guy a child-murdering psychopath.

** Also by Leone - [[Lee Van Cleef]] had played a romantic character in ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' who developed a father-son relationship with [[Clint Eastwood]]'s Monco. In ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly|The Good the Bad And The Ugly]]'', Leone had him play a desperately evil mercenary torturer (the eponymous "Bad") who [[Clint Eastwood]]'s Blondie eventually shoots dead.
