ANALYSISThe scene is made up of shots of Blondie (Clint Eastwood), Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef), and Tuco (Eli WAllach) sizing each other up, deciding who to shoot. Theres shots of their hands by their guns, their faces, and eventually just their eyes. The speed and frequency of the shots ramps up in time with the music, leading to the inevitable final moment. But one thing that Tohline points out that Id never stopped to consider is who gets the most screen time during this sequence.

ANALYSISIn the movie as a whole, Van Cleefs character, The Bad,gets the least amount of time onscreen. Even though he propels the plot in his search for the buried Union gold, he sits out huge swaths of the back half of the movie while Eastwood and Wallach and their uneasy alliance have to contend with blowing up a bridge and running in and out of the Civil War. But during the final showdown, Van Cleefs is the face and hand we see the most. he gets almost 1.5 times more focus thanthe other two.

analyssThis is because Angel Eyes is really the only character with a decision to make. Tuco is probably going to shoot Angel Eyes, but hes a wildcard, so maybe hell shoot Blondie to get the money all for himself. Blondie knows that Tucos gun is emptywhich Tuco, and we at home,dont find out until the end of the sequenceand also knows that Angel Eyes is very likely going to shoot at him. But Angel Eyes knows nothing other than Blondie and Tuco have had the uneasy partnership and that both men have reason to take aim at him. So who is the one to take out first? He looks nervous. Far more than Tuco does.
