Quotes from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly:

[Tuco has captured Blondie and is planning to hang him]
Tuco: Get on that stool and put the rope around your neck. I have a different system, my friend; I don't shoot the rope, I shoot the legs from under the stool.
[Sound of distant rumbling]
Tuco: Even when Judas hanged himself there was thunder.
Blondie: That might be cannon fire.
Tuco: Thunder or cannon fire, it's all the same to you. Adios, Blondie.

[surveying some Civil War carnage]
Blondie: I've never seen so many men wasted so badly.

Tuco: I'll kill you.
Blondie: If you do that... you'll always be poor... just like the greasy rat you are.

Tuco: [shouting] Hey, Blond! You know what you are? Just a dirty son-of-a-b-!

Tuco: I like big fat men like you. When they fall they make more noise. And sometimes they don't get up.

Facts from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The film was budgeted at an expensive (for the time) $1.6 million.

Although Clint Eastwood is usually top-billed in this film's credits, Eli Wallach has the most screen-time.

The three principal actors are the only ones who speak actual English in the film: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach, with the exceptions of Al Mulock (the one-armed man) and John Bartha (the sheriff). Everyone else in the film is really speaking their native language, mostly Italian and Spanish, and was later dubbed into English.

In the scene where Blondie brings a tied-up Tuco into town to claim the bounty on him, Tuco spits out a cigar and yells out something in Spanish. Translated to English, he is yelling out "Son of a bitch that gave birth to you!"

Shot in the deserts of Spain with 1,500 Spanish soldiers as extras.
