Description:
Young, ambitious gunman Nobody (Terence Hill) sets his eye on his idol, gunslinger Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda), who's intent on sailing off into retirement.
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - Nobody Does It Better
Jack Beauregard is a legendary gunslinger who's hanging up his pistols and sailing to Europe to live out the rest of his days in peace. That's until Nobody shows up and begins stalking him. Jack can't figure out why Nobody is constantly around and becomes increasingly frustrated with him, unsure if he's friend or foe. Nobody is probably the fastest gun alive, but a total buffoon and a klutz.....or is he? He may be a goof, but Nobody has a plan and he's determined to see it through. He's idolized ... Read More
Rating: - Classic Spaghetti Western
If you like Sergio Leoni Spaghetti Westerns, This is a classic. They even used the "Slap Scene" in a recent TV commercial because it is so classic. And Henry Fonda is very classic and cool. You'll love this one.
Rating: - There is only hundred but, they ride like a Thousand
Henry Fonda's show down with the Wild Bunch is fantasic. I am a huge fan of Westerns and I know you will love this one. It has comedy but, lives up to the style of a Fonda film.
Rating:  - Terence Hill Destroys The Film
Whenever I find myself in such strong disagreement with others at Amazon, it really makes me wonder...."Is is me?".
Maybe so, but if Henry Fonda wasn't in this feature I would not even have been able to sit through the film at all.
The film starts promisingly enough with Henry Fonda as a tough as nails but aging gunfighter. He's very slick.
But even he can't save this mess as Terence Hill plays a silly character nearly always grinning like the proverbial village ... Read More
