Originally titled
Giù la Testa,
Duck, You Sucker! is a Mexican-revolution yarn, filmed in Italy by
spaghetti Western maven
Sergio Leone.
James Coburn is top-billed as
John H. Mallory, an Irish soldier of fortune with a penchant for explosives.
Rod Steiger plays
Juan Miranda, another mercenary who wants to utilize
Mallory's specialty to blast into a bank. Despite his avaricious intentions,
Miranda becomes a hero when the hole he blows in the bank wall frees dozens of political prisoners.
Duck, You Sucker originally ran 150 minutes, with U.S. release prints heavily trimmed. Taking into consideration the previous "Man With No Name" films masterminded by
Leone, the distributors of
Duck, You Sucker! reissued the film as
A Fistful of Dynamite.
