"Need Help IDing Clint Eastwood Movie" Topic

I think it is a Western.

If I recall the scene correctly:

Eastwood walks into a room and joins a poker game. He sits down and puts his gun on the table. Someone asks him what he wants to wager and he responds, "Your lives." Then he proceeds to shoot everyone at the table.

Anyone know the movie?

For a few dollars more:

'Baby' Red Cavanaugh: I didn't hear what the bet was.
Monco: Your life.

Look at 5:58 into this clip:

Let me see if I've got this straight.

It only took CC 7 minutes to come upon this newly minted post, know the answer, provide the quote, snag the movie clip, play it, note that the spot the questioner wanted was 5:58 seconds in, and post the response and the link.

CC … you DO have a life, don't you?

That is ONE impressive turn-around time, my man. Barkeep … I'd like to buy that man a drink.

LOL.

It happened that I had taken my work break around that time and could not pass up the challenge.

I have never heard "Joe" referred to as "Monco". Wiki says that he's also referred to by that name, but does not say *specifically* how or where. My best guess is that the name might be used in the original Italian or possibly a Spanish dubbed version. Can anyone here that has seen either an Italian or Spanish language version of either "A Fistful of Dollars" or "For a Few Dollars More" confirm this?

I can't confirm it but I have read that Monco was his marketed name in Italy or Spain. It was a variant of the Italian word for "one-armed man" I believe. The name arose from the fact that Eastwood performs almost every action in the movie with his left hand so his right hand is always free to draw (much like the samurai in Yojimbo which inspired his character). I believe that when Mortimer asks about him he is told Eastwood is a man "they call Monco" but it has been a while since I saw the movie so I could be wrong. For one reason or another the two leads both had names in Italy but in America were marketed as "The Man with No Name" and "The Man in Black". So the nameless men really had names. They just weren't used very much.

Right Gamer. I've always known that he was named "Joe" in "A Fistful of Dollars" as he's called that in the film. So of course he's really not "the man with no name". Previous releases of the English language versions of "For A Few Dollars More" deleted the line where the sheriff refers to Eastwood as "Monco" to maintain the "man with no name" advertising, but I just found out that the line has been restored in the latest DVD version. Damn. Now I have to go and check my copy to see if it's the uncut version. LOL

AMC ran the uncut version I believe. He is also called Blondie in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of course. So he really is the man with three names!

I have the VHS version where he is referred to as Monco.
