Movie Reviews of My Name Is Nobody

Movie Review: Nobody Does It Better
Summary: 4 Stars

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 Jack all his life and can't accept Jack simply going out with a whimper. He wants to make Jack a legend by having him do something extraordinary. His plan(part of it anyway) is to have Jack face off with a gang of 150 outlaws. Most of the film is Nobody's attempts to lure Jack into this situation, as well as getting into a few misadventures of his own. Naturally, Jack doesn't share this enthusiasm and spends most of the film trying to elude that situation. Through this series of events a strange and almost heartwarming friendship develops.
This is a great comedy spaghetti western. Yes, the comedy is a bit hit and miss. Some of it's dead on while other parts are downright silly(I personally don't care for the sped up camera technique when Nobody slaps people around or draws his gun). Regardless of how funny you think the movie is, it's a very good story and a good movie all around. Fonda's wonderful as the aging gunfighter, almost as good as his villain role in Once Upon A Time In The West. Terence Hill, best known for the Trinity films(and don't forget Superfuzz!!), is kind of a comedic version of Franco Nero(he certainly looks like him). He's good with facial expressions and physical comedy, yet you can also buy him as a gunfighter. Sergio Leone produces and provided the story, and his presence is definitely felt even though he didn't direct. Morricone's excellent soundtrack solidifies this. If you dig the spaghetti westerns, don't pass this up.

Summary of My Name Is Nobody

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
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.
