Talk:Duck, You Sucker!

message: This section contains a reference to Sony "purchasing" MGM.  That has never happened.  MGM licensed their catalog to Sony around that time for DVD distribution in the US (that agreement has since lapsed, and 20th Century Fox currently distributes MGM's DVD's).  If a purchase of MGM by Sony has happened, the author of this section needs to cite a reference or the sentence will be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srxt81 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

* A Fistful of Dynamite, in Portuguese, reads like a film review. -- Jmabel 06:04, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
<end moved text>
* I translated a little, skimmed the rest; not very encyclopedic; it's been over 2 weeks and no one's taken up the translation. Worthy topic, useless article. Delete.
*Change to a stub - i.e. just keep the first line "A Fistful of Dynamite is a film by Sergio Leone." --Jll 11:46, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I specially watched that particular scene again. The governor was shot with a Browning HP. Although they bear a resemblance, Browning HP and Colt M1911 are not identical. Being a handgun afficionado, I know very well how these models look, and I could not mistake a M1911 for a Browning HP. Or an Obregon.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fillosaurus (talk • contribs) 12:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Giu la testa 01.jpg

message: Did this scene take place in Ireland, as in the article, or in London?  The two police officers accompanying Sean's friend are dressed as English "bobbies", I do not know if these type of uniforms were used in Ireland during the Troubles.  I suspect that Sean was part of an IRA cell that conducted a series of bombing campaigns in London... hence I think the flashback was to London, not Ireland.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.34.162 (talk) 02:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Sean's Flashback Bar Scene

message: Does the film really "delve[s] deep into the class differences that shaped Mexico during its bloody revolution."? For sure it sides with the revolutionaries, but I dont think it shows much of mexico or what life in mexico was like at the time, which must be an extremely important part of "delving" into the class differences. it is an action movie with if not a political agenda then at least with clear values and sympathies, but it is pretty bad as a documentary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.231.250.215 (talk) 01:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Analysis

message: Everybody seems to think that the title was A Fistful of Dynamite. I have to admit that it's a cooler title then Duck, You Sucker, but why not use that title. I'm pretty sure that it was known as Duck You Sucker in it's theatrical run, and no one has cited that it was called A Fistful of Dynamite at any point, except as a nickname.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MwNNrules (talk • contribs) 02:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Title

message: When the motorbike is unpacked an IRA flag, or piece of cloth with IRA stitched on it, is uncovered. This is impossible, as the film is set in the 1913 Mexican Revolution, whereas the IRA was only formed in 1917. (correction: 1919)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.92.58.216 (talk) 22:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the use of the term 'Irish Republican Army' dates back to Fenian days in the late 19th Century. There's even an image of a similar flag used in the Fenian Raids. Jmccormac (talk) 14:34, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  IRA + Film 

message: I believe the reference to Duck, You Sucker! being "the second part of a trilogy of epic Leone films including the previous Once Upon a Time in the West and the subsequent Once Upon a Time in America," is misleading or incorrect. There is no connection whatsoever between the story arc and settings of the three above mentioned films, apart from the director and some of the cast. This information is referenced by IMDB, or any other online or published aggregator of movie information and reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Latriplette (talk • contribs) 21:26, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Films don't have to have parts of the same setting to be considered parts of the same trilogy. In fact, referring it to as a trilogy in this instance just means "3 of Sergio Leone's films".  MisterShiney ✉  21:36, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Is the character played by Antoine Saint-John called 'Colonel  Günther Reza' or 'Colonel Günther Ruiz'? He is called the former in this article's 'Plot' section but the latter in the 'Cast' section. Meanwhile (to add to the confusion), IMDB lists the character as 'Gutierez/Col. Günther Reza'. In the film's dialogue, it certainly sounds as if they are saying, 'Ruiz'. 2.31.195.147 (talk) 11:02, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name confusion 

message: A Fistful of Dynamite is by far the more common title of this film in English speaking countries. The vast majority of releases in the west use this title and it's actually quite difficult to find a release with Duck, You Sucker! as the title. My logic is that people who purchase or hear about the film and want to find the subsequent Wikipedia page may have trouble finding it as the Wikipedia page uses the far lesser known title of the film which is no longer used in English releases. By all means a note can be added in the article summary stating it's not the original title but it is the current title. Something along the lines of "Originally released as Duck, You Sucker!."
