For A Few Dollars More
Eastwood is a keen-eyed, quick-witted bounty hunter on the bloody trail of Indio, the territory's most treacherous bandit. But his ruthless rival, Colonel Mortimer, is determined to bring Indio in first...dead or alive! Failing to capture their prey--or eliminate each other--the two are left with only one option: team up, or face certain death at the hands of Indio and his band of murderous outlaws.

This sequel to A Fistfull of Dollars shows some great improvement upon its minimalist predecessor. The story is more elaborate, the characters are developed a little better with more motivations for their actions and the production value doesn't look so cheap. You can see that Sergio Leone was honing his craft through this Man-with-no-name trilogy. I found this particular title hard to get into at first, but it grew on me after a while.Intriguing - Bogart
It is hard to say whether A Fistful of Dollars or For A Few Dollars More is the better movie. What is remarkable about this movie is the motivation and actions of Van Cleef's character. Although his name is front and center for credits on the cover, Eastwood's character isn't necessarily the main protagonist of this movie.
Note that this version of the movie was widescreen but not anamorphic. That means the DVD contains a 4:3 image with black bars on top and bottom, which will look widescreen on an ordinary standard definition television, but is postmarked on an HDTV. Postmarked means that it has a widescreen aspect and appearance, but it has bars on all four sides (because the TV is receiving a 4:3 image). Rather annoying until you know why that happens. Some older DVDs are like that.Another classic spaghetti western - Opinheimer
This is not really a sequel to A Fistful Of Dollars, despite the fact that once again Sergio Leone directed the same 3 actors from the previous film (Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Gian Maria Volonte) in essentially the same setting. There is no hint of continuity in the plot, and despite the similarity, the 3 actors do not play the same characters as in the previous film (especially Volonte, for obvious reasons if you've seen A Fistful Of Dollars).
Eastwood and Van Cleef both play ruthless bounty hunters who find themselves both pursuing the same vicious outlaw and his band of men for very different reasons, and they reluctantly join forces.
This film became another instant classic and further cemented the notion that Hollywood was out of touch. Imaginative, distinctive direction, countless memorable scenes, an exotic, unforgettable music score by Ennio Morricone (that has become a staple of pop culture) and the pairing of two of the best actors of the genre make for a film that is stunning to experience.
