Product Description:
YOUNG, AMBITIOUS GUNMAN 'NOBODY' SETS HIS EYES UPON HIS IDOL, GUNSLINGER JACK BEAUREGARD, WHO'S INTENT ON SAILING OFF INTO RETIREMENT. DECIDING HIS HERO SHOULD GO OUT WITH GUNS BLAZING, NOBODY SETS HIM UP FOR A SHOWDOWN WITH A PACK OF THE DEADLIEST BAD GUYS IN THE WEST.
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

- My Name is Nobody
This is a great spaghetti western and shouldn't be missed.There is some crude language in parts and a crude gesture at the end that might surprise others who, like myself, saw this on television 20 or more years ago.The t.v. version had been "cleaned up" a bit it seems.For me the language and gesture spoiled what had been a whole-hearted enjoyment but it is still worth seeing.You might want to watch it without younger kids first so you can decide how you feel about the above items.

- "Nobody" should miss this movie!
I have not seen this movie in over 20 years when it was on television so I decided to order a copy. This brings back a lot of good memories. Terence Hill certainly made this western worth watching. Entertaining all the way along with Henry Fonda. Of course I can't forget the Wild Bunch riding in the movie. My Name is Nobody...good fun movie!
Rating: - "My Name Is Nobody" starring Terrence Hill & Bud Spencer
I love this movie.My husband loves it too.I have had a hard time finding it, so was real glad to find it on Amazon.It is a western movie with Terrence & Bud as brothers.There is a lot of slapstick comedy & fighting.It is just overall funny.
