A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS: Clint Eastwood’s career and Hollywood heroes would never be the same

, the first film release in the “Dollars Trilogy,” famous for Sergio Leone’s

While Clint Eastwood became a superstar when these films arrived in America, fans seems to underestimate the excellence of this film.

opens with Eastwood’s “Man with No Name” riding into a seemingly deserted Mexican town to find two rival factions: one running booze, The Rojos, and the other running guns, The Baxters. Soon, the mysterious man confronts the men who laughed and shot at him queuing up the tone of the film: “My mistake, four coffins.”

One impressive, somewhat forgotten element is inspiration on the Indiana Jones character, the ultimate fallible hero. Eastwood’s sacrifice in the film, saving a family, getting beaten and literally crawling away at one point to later rise up and win – it should be easy to see why fans love this film and franchise so much.
