Rico says that some movies are worth watching more than once, and Sergio Leone's Duck, You Sucker (also known as A Fistful of Dynamite) is one. Starring the ever-handsome (and Rico's long-time friend Tex Tyner look-alike) James Coburn (as an Irishman fleeing their Revolution) and Rod Steiger (as a Mexican bandit in the midst of their Revolution), it's a combination buddy-movie, war movie, and historical education (who, besides Rico, even remembers either revolution?).
There are, of course, a few glitches; the WW2 German MG-42 machine gun was pretty obvious, but most of it is well done. And where else are you going to see a Bakunin book used as a plot device?
