Woody Strode just strode across my TV screen with a Mare's Leg on his hip & thigh. Who did the Holster for it in this Film. Good Movie. On AMC.

    Very good movie

    Not many know that Alfred Mulock Rogers committed suicide while filming the movie. He was a bad guy in several Westerns, he was in the GBU as the bounty hunter after Tuco and he was one of the gunman Bronson kills at the beginning of this movie.

    He jumped out of his hotel window.

    Mulock committed suicide by jumping from his hotel room in Guadix, Granada, Spain in May 1968, while filming for Once Upon a Time in the West. He was wearing his cowboy-style costume at the time of his fall. Mickey Knox, screenwriter for the film, and production manager Claudio Mancini witnessed Mulock's suicide as his body passed their hotel window near the end of the shoot. Mulock survived the fall, but suffered a pierced lung from a broken rib during the bumpy ride to the hospital. Before being taken away in the ambulance, director Sergio Leone shouted, "Get the costume, we need the costume."

    The reasons for his suicide, as well as for his choice of killing himself while wearing his costume, are unknown. Though they had been separated for some time before her death, his wife had died the year before of cervical cancer. Mickey Knox also claimed in his book, The Good, the Bad and the Dolce Vita, that Mulock was a drug addict, and committed suicide out of desperation, as he was unable to acquire drugs in Guadix

    Woody Strode played football at UCLA and with the Rams. He was a gifted athlete and one of my favorite character actors.

    OOOOOBA DOOOOOBA to that pic of Claudia!

    This was the first movie that really scared me, as Henry Fonda always was a father figure to me growing up!

    To witness him shooting a little boy gave me nightmares!

    Although Claudia is uber HAWT, the story and fate of Mulock is most encompassing and interesting! Thanks!!
