Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • The movie features, for the most part, fairly standard western/warfare violence (lots of people are shot with bloody results). The most graphic/potentially upsetting scenes are the following: 1) Tuco is about to be hanged with a rope around his neck several times but is rescued at the last moment by Blondie, who shoots the rope - in one of these occasions Blondie initially misses the shot and Tuco nearly chokes to death; 2) Tuco forces Blondie, who is dying of thirst, to crawl through the desert at gunpoint as a revenge for his previous betrayal; 3) Tuco is beaten up by one of Angel Eyes' henchmen during a brutal interrogation.
  • Tuco throws a guard off the moving train and repeatedly hits the back of his head on a rock.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A scene, with a bleeding man, who asks Tuco and Blondie to blow up a bridge, that is fought by two parties of soldiers, is rather emotional and includes many sad and touching moments.
  • In one scene, Blondie and Tuco come to a place where there is what remains of a structure with numerous dead soldiers inside of it. As Blondie goes to check it out, he finds a soldier who is not only still alive, but also very young (early 20s). In a kind of mercy-type way, Blondie let's the young man take a couple of puffs from his cigar and even takes off his coat and trades it for a poncho to put on the young man like a blanket before he does eventually die. This can be a mildly sad scene for some as it depicts the realism of war and just who can suffer from it.
  • At many points in the film, scenes show wounded and dead soldiers with bloody injuries. These sequences could be intense and sad for younger viewers.
  • Angel Eyes is a complete ruthless and sociopathic hitman in this movie. He uses people for his own selfish gains. It should also be noted that he his the main antagonist of the movie. Completely different person from For A Few Dollars More (1965)
