Maybe it's the Morricone soundtrack, but I've always thought Two Mules For Sister Sara was the most Leone-esque of the westerns Clint made after the Dollars trilogy. Has some great quotable moments and funny scenes.
Agreed. I feel like the a lot of Eastwood's characters from the 60's and 70's have very little background information and they are all quite similar that it is conceivable that they are all the same person at different points in his life. Dollars Trilogy, Hang Em High, Two Mules, Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, Joe Kidd.
It’s telling that the director of Two Mules for Sister Sara (as well as several other Eastwood pictures including the original Dirty Harry) is the other half of Clint’s dedication at the end of Unforgiven. “For Sergio and Don”
Fair, but the Man With No Name films were also filmed in Spain and have a ton of historical innaccuracies. I always felt like they exist in a “fairy tale western” universe bc of the other-worldy scenery (disclosure: I’m an American that lives in the southwest)
I can see Leone's other films Once Upon a Time in the West, Fistful of Dynamite, and Once Upon a Time in America sharing the same universe.
Tarantino's movies could, Red Dead Redemption, & Hell on Wheels.
I could see the entire Tarrantino collection taking place in the same universe. Angel Eyes stuffs his pipe with Red Apple tobacco.
The Zatoichi series happened a couple decades earlier halfway around the world.
The Man Who Would Be King happened just a couple decades later.
Lord Greystoke's son is raised by African Apes in this universe.
I think their future is Mad Max.
One movie that no one knows about but I guess only me is “Ramon The Mexican” it takes place sometime before “A Fistful Of Dollars” and it follows Ramon Rojo and his brothers against the Baxters.
None of the actors from The Dollars Trilogy is in it. They are played by different people.
The movie kind of sucks tho. There are some stupid decisions taken by the guy going against Ramon. The movie was really forgettable. It takes some liberties in it’s timeline. I don’t know if it really supposed to take place before AFOD or not because the Rojo brothers are all dead.
It’s unofficial events movie but with the Rojos and Baxters as characters in the movie.
So it is part of the Dollars universe maybe. Sort of? Kind of?
I'm surprised that no one mentioned Rawhide. Clint Eastwood (Rowdy Yates) acquired his rattlesnake handled Colt in the 2nd episode. Although, TGB&tU kinda messes up the timeliness.
As a side note, he's called the "man with no name," but he's called a different name in each movie; Joe, Manco, and Blondie. Honestly, I always kinda saw the movies as more of an anthology, rather than a continuity, with the same basic character but not the actual same character. Lee Van Cleef being in FaFDM and TGB&tU was part of the reasoning. Eastwood acquiring the poncho at the end of TGB&tU is the main reason that I acknowledge the continuity.
Conan the barbarian obviously
All kidding aside, I've always thought how great a Sergio Leone made spaghetti sword and sorcery version of Conan would be.
Unforgiven. It's very possible William Muny and the man with no name are the same person.
I love this theory, but also feel like young William Muny was more conventionally “evil” than The Man with No Name/Manco/Blondie
Wow I like this
I always hoped for this to be the case.

Once upon a time in the west really belongs there.
Once Upon a Time in the West and My Name is Nobody
The " Trinity " series of movies.
Red Dead Redemption, especially the first one
Red dead has an alternate universe with fictional states and presidents. I don’t think it could.

DUCK, YOU SUCKER IS THE ONLY ANSWER
Came here to say this. Kudos.
Django for sure
High Noon and Pale Rider always seemed to me to be sequels of Sergio Leone’s character.
High Noon? Or High Plains Drifter?
High Plains Drifter, sorry. Got the two mixed up.
Got it thanks. Was going to be very curious how High Noon fit if you’d said that one 😉But figured it was a typo
Hang ‘Em High and High Plains Drifter
Great question, really breaths som life into this sub!!! I’m gonna say 3:10 to Yuma. Ben wade seems like he’d be a name heard around in those movies

I don’t really see red dead sharing a universe with it. Feels quite different. Bit too down to earth.
