For a Few Dollars More is a 1965 film directed by Sergio Leone & starring Clint Eastwood & Lee Van Cleef. German actor Klaus Kinski has a supporting role. The film was released in the United States in 1966 as part of the Leone/Eastwood Spaghetti western trilogy. Eastwood & Van Cleef portray bounty killers in pursuit of El Indio, one of the most wanted fugitives in the western territories & his gang. Van Cleefs character also has a personal motive for his actions - his sister was raped & murdered by El Indio - while Eastwood is, as in the other Man with No Name films, entirely motivated by money.

I bought the original release last year. At the same time I bought the brilliant re-mastered Once Upon a Time in America & The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. I would encourage anyone to upgrade. The film is beautifully restored to the same standard as the others, & you see the movie in a new light. The extra material is very interesting, especially the Christopher Frayling part. In any case it is one of the best Westerns ever made.

Clint Eastwood is Gorillaz debut single, released off their self-titled album Gorillaz in March 2001. It peaked at the #4 in the UK & #57 in the US. The song is strangely reggae -ish hip-hop with melodic guitar & cheesy horror-film sounds, based on a sample of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. The verses are rapped by Del tha Funkee Homosapien, portrayed as a blue phantom in the video, while the chorus is sung as a haunting melody by 2-D. Directed by Jamie Hewlett & Pete Candeland. The video is animated. Every dead body that is not exterminated, gets up & kills. The people it kills, get up & kill in English & Japanese. This phrase was deemed offensive in some countries & a censored video was produced that omits this intro. The band is seen performing the song in what appears to be a white room, or at the very least some sort of room depicting a digital television screen in the backdrop. Then something weird happens to Russel & his hat begins to rise up on its own. The ghost of Del appears & starts to rap the song, all the while leaving the Gorillaz dumbfounded.
