Sergio Leone’s (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) out-there 1971 Western A Fistful of Dynamite a.k.a. Duck, You Sucker starring Rod Steiger (Doctor Zhivago), James Coburn (The Great Escape) and Romolo Valli (Boccaccio ’70) receives the special edition treatment in March courtesy of Kino Lorber.

Steiger is Juan Miranda, a cigar-chomping, salt-of-the-earth peasant with a Robin Hood heart; James Coburn is John Mallory, a dynamite-tossing Irish revolutionary who has fled to Mexico to practice his skills. Together, they prove to be a volatile mix of anti-establishment philosophies and violent tendencies as they attempt to do right for the political prisoners and their compatriots against a steaming Mexican backdrop.

The film features a rousing score by Leone’s go-to composer, the great Ennio Morricone (Once Upon a Time in America, Navajo Joe).
