A Fistful of Dynamite

A Fistful of Dynamite is a 1971 film by Sergio Leone, which is centred on two individuals, a poor Mexican bandit (played by Rod Steiger) and an ex-IRA revolutionary (James Coburn), who meet during the turbulent Mexican Revolution. The movie was written by Luciano Vincenzoni, Sergio Donati, and Sergio Leone. Peter Bogdanovich was the intended director, but the role ended up in Leone's hands. Because of this switch, some fans of the film contest that A Fistful of Dynamite is actually two films in one (the first part dealing with Mesa Verde whereas the second deals with the revolution).
