Speaking previously with Bill Maher on his Club Random podcast, Tarantino said: “I think there’s only one trilogy that completely and utterly works to the Nth degree and that’s A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” He claimed it was Leone’s “one director vision” that made this possible.
The director continued: “It does what no other trilogy has ever been quite able to do.The first movie is terrific, but the second movie is so great and takes the whole idea to such a bigger canvas that it obliterates the first one. And then the third one does the same thing to the second one, and that’s kind of what never happens. You’ll see this big jump from the first to the second and they don’t really land the third one.”
A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly leave Amazon Prime at the end of July.
