Product Description
From 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

4.0 out of 5 stars
Thoughtfully and very detailed,
By Christian (North Bay, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Name Is Nobody (Widescreen) (DVD)
You might say "How can he be rating this movie when he doesn't own the DVD? Well I have the movie on VHS and it's a great one. Almost every old cowboy movie is slow paced, "My name is Nobody" isn't any different but it's thoughtfully and very detailed. The story is great and has a great ending. The movie is both funny and serious.. mostly serious. Of course the soundtrack of this movie is, to my opinion still unmatched by Ennio Morricone.. very moving stuff which really ties into the old west era. Enjoy the movie!

My Favorite Westen Comedy of All Time,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Name Is Nobody (VHS Tape)
This movie is far better than even Blazing Saddles. The best part is that despite the comedy it has a certain real feel to it. Terence Hill playes a young up-and-coming gun slinger who is determined to make Jack Beauregard, played by Henry Fonda, a legend. Unfortunately all Jack wants to do is retire and move to Europe. The two eventually become friends as Nobody follows Jack across the west tring to get him to take on the Wild Bunch. Anyone who has seen a Terence Hill movie knows that they will leave you rolling on the floor laughing. Well this one is the best. Its also in enough tast that you would have no problem letting the entire family watch this one(which is rare indeed).

Cool Classic,
By
This review is from: My Name Is Nobody (VHS Tape)
My favorite movie bar none! I'm not a fan of typical westerns but this isn't a typical western. Terence Hill plays the up and coming gun slinger. He also plays the part of a guardian angle insuring Henry Fondas safe retirement from his gun fighting career. To bad Hollywood never recognized Terence Hill and put him in any other movies worthy of his ability. Thanks "Mike", my sisters boyfriend 20 years ago, for tapping thisfor me.
