My Name is Nobody is a spoof of spaghetti Westerns, but it's also a legitimate, highly regarded entry in the genre. Its pedigree is purebred, as it was executive produced by the maestro of spaghetti Westerns, Sergio Leone, as a personal farewell to the genre that he helped to create. It's a transitional film, cheekily acknowledging the impact of The Wild Bunch and Sam Peckinpah (whose name is seen on a gravestone in one scene) and the popularity of Terence Hill, whose comedic "Trinity" films represented the last gasp of the once-glorious spaghetti Western. All of these elements are beautifully combined in the amusing tale of Nobody (Hill), an ambitious young gunman in 1899 who idolizes a legendary gunslinger Jack Beauregard, played by Henry Fonda in his final Western (and his second for Leone, after the classic Once Upon a Time in the West). Before Beauregard can retire in peace, Nobody sets up a final showdown of epic proportions, and the great Ennio Morricone enhances the abundance of memorable scenes with one of his most playfully inventive scores (including a comical use of Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"). Tonino Valerii fully deserved his director's credit, but Leone also made significant contributions (including the opening scene), and the result is a delightful and surprisingly resonant film that Steven Spielberg later called his favorite Leone production. It's easy to see why: Like many of Spielberg's films, My Name is Nobody qualifies as both art and entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

Amusing.......2007-07-03

I found this movie to be kind of amusing. If you're not a fan of cowboy movies you'll probably think the movie is kind of stupid. The parts where they show how quick Trinity is supposed to be is obvious. If you are a fan, you will get a kick out of the movie and the many jabs at other westerns. Good (not great) movie that I'm glad I added to my collection.

Wow !!!.......2007-06-27

All I can say is WOW!!!
Terence Hill surely has to be labelled as the fastest draw from the West. If you're crazy about western movies, then you really have to get your hands on this one. In particular, I liked the opening scene when Henry Fonda was at the saloon having a shave and all of a sudden all hell breaks loose and Henry delivers a fast draw and leaves and the Barber's son tell his father "wow, did you see that? Can anyone be faster than him"? and his father replies "NOBODY"......Nobody happens to be Terence Hill.

A tremendous movie.......2007-06-09

Easily one of the best of the Trinity series. Barring the lack of Bud Spencer, it can hold it's own against even the great Blazing Saddles as far as I am concerned.

Best Leone Western That He Didn't Direct.......2007-05-25

For sure "My Name is Nobody" is a parody of Leone but like the best satires it works as a homage. It doesn't hurt that the master produced and formulated the basic premise of the film. That said Tonino Valerii does a masterful job as Leone's surrogate. Terence Hill is simply wonderful in his comic variation of Clint's man with no name. It's too bad that he wasn't utilized properly in American films. "Mr Billion" and "Super Fuzz", please. Henry Fonda is at his iconic best as the retiring gunslinger. The polar styles of Hill and Fonda work fabulously. If the film can be faulted it's for length and story lapses. There were times I thought the narrative a little incoherent. Lastly, Ennio Morricone contributes a fantastic score. Morricone not only references previous Leone ventures, most prominently "Once Upon A Time in the West", but also cleverly incorporates Wagner. A qualified success but a success nonetheless.

The best of all Terrence Hill Movies.......2007-03-30

This a great western movie.

I think is the best western movie with Terrence Hill and the Master Henry Fonda. No wonder Peter Fonda is a great actor.

Product Description

Australia released, PAL/Region 4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. Languages: English (Mono) Synopsis: Spaghetti-Western star Terence Hill achieved international fame with 1974's My Name Is Nobody. A soldier of fortune, Nobody (Hill) is hired to gun down veteran outlaw Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda). Before long, however, Nobody and Beauregard are bosom companions. When Beauregard announces his retirement, Nobody insists that the old man go out in one last, glorious shooting spree and tries to arrange for this to happen. Though excessively violent, My Name Is Nobody is also a lot of fun, especially when one compares the overanxious overacting of Terence Hill to the laid-back professionalism of Henry Fonda. One of the biggest hits of Sergio Leone's career, My Name Is Nobody brings together two Western icons: Henry Fonda and 70s Italian superstar Terence Hill. Fonda plays ageing gunslinger Jack Beauregard, and nobody is faster than Beauregard - until he meets a man called Nobody (Hill) who has been hired to kill him. However, Beauregard was Nobody's childhood hero, and the wily young gun starts planning a way that Jack can go down in the history books.
