  Well accomplished Western comedy, My Name is Nobody is a fine parody of the Spaghetti Western genre of film that was made famous by Executive producer Sergio Leone. This is an enjoyable film that will surely please genre fans, and with a great cast at hand, director Tonino Valerii crafts a terrific film that is among the best Western comedies ever filmed. Although it lacks in some areas, there's more than plenty of good things going on, on screen to make this worth seeing. Along with Blazing Saddles, this is the best comedy in this genre of film and it's very entertaining from start to finish. This is a fun film in the genre, and it is entertaining from start to finish because of such a great cast of talented actors and there are also plenty of effective gags to make this one memorable, amusing film to watch. If you loved all the classic 1960's Westerns films, well you're sure going to like this one. This film along with Blazing Saddles are the best films in this subgenre of the Western, and each brings something unique to the screen. As a whole, this is a flawed film, but works well enough to make it enjoyable from start to finish. This is among the last great Spaghetti Westerns and it's a fine satire of Westerns of the 60's. With a great cast that deliver on-screen, this is a must see picture for fans of the genre. This is a memorable silly ride from start to finish and is also one of the defining classics of the genre. A fun, entertaining ride that should please fans of cinema as much as genre fans. Simply put, My Name is Nobody is a memorable comedy worth watching.

  My Name is Nobody has been often referred, incorrectly, as a spoof of the western genre. This isn't really the case, it is funny and a little tongue in cheek with nods to more famous Westerns, Western directors and even composers but it's no spoof. The gags aren't slapstick, the script is not full of double entendre and it's not in the least bit surreal. Leslie Nelson isn't in it. It is however, a pretty good Western in its own right. The character of Nobody, played brilliantly by Terence Hill is far more interesting than 'The man with no name' or any other Western character. He is playful, dangerous, mysterious and a little quirky, no doubt this is Sergio Leone being influenced by more Eastern characters, Zatoichi springs to mind in regards to the humour. Hill definitely steals the show though, makes you feel bad for Henry Fonda. A great film, worth catching if you haven't already - the bar scene is worth watching it for alone!

  Not as high on my list of favorites as it used to be. Tonino Valerii's tongue-in-cheek Spaghetti-Western has taken a beating at the hands of father time, though the homage to Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah is still undeniably apparent.

  A good premise, but there's hardly much to see or follow. No story or interesting characters, just a series of sketches to showcase Hill's charisma. Lots of faceless enemies for him and Fonda to take down. If you only want to pay tribute to something sometimes the best… More
  A good premise, but there's hardly much to see or follow. No story or interesting characters, just a series of sketches to showcase Hill's charisma. Lots of faceless enemies for him and Fonda to take down. If you only want to pay tribute to something sometimes the best approach is to say nothing at all.

  An enjoyable light hearted western that shows how foley artists really used to love their jobs in the 70's.

  Tonino Valerii gets the credit of directing this great western comedy, however some credit is also due to Sergio Leone for providing the idea.<p>The story is a good one, despite the fact that it drags a little in the middle. The first 10 minutes of this hour 50 minute picture starts off on the right foot, with very little dialogue, good suspense, and a quick shootout. Just like that, the main character, Jack Beauregard, has a moderate amount of buildup. From here on out, the film continues to entertain.</p><p>There are a number of slapstick comedic elements in this movie. So yes this is a comedy, but at the same time, there is a serious tone that still makes this a distinguished western.</p><p>There is no question that Terence Hill and Henry Fonda are the ones that make this film as enjoyable as it is. Terence Hill's character is fun to watch and he is a good counter to the seriousness of Henry Fonda.</p><p>Ennio Morricone's playful soundtrack is also worthy of note. Very catchy and memorable.</p><p><i>My Name is Nobody</i> comes highly recommended for fans of spaghetti westerns.

  As a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s having a Terence Hill (often with Bud Spencer as well) movie on TV was always a highlight of the weekend. While most of those movies didn't age very gracefully, this one stands out and is still very enjoyable after all these years. Although it does contain the same kind of slapstick scenes Hill is known for and is probably his funniest movie (at least in the hilariously dubbed German version), it is also a deeply melancholic and serious Western. The story, after an idea by Spaghetti-Western-maestro Sergio Leone whose style is clearly visible, tells of an ambitious young gunmen following his idol, gunslinger legend Henry Fonda to take over his crown and make sure he is remembered as a hero. It's their faces that last long after the movie ended: Hill's optimistic, mischievous blinking and Fonda's sad yet merciless smile. How "Nobody" gets his hero to go out with a bang, taking on the Wild Bunch of 150 riders is just awesome. What binds the movie together is Ennio Morricone's most beautiful and catchy soundtrack score.

  Weird Western Comedy with Italian star Terence Hill teaming up with American star Henry Fonda. This unlikely pair exchange their own wisdom. The dialogue and action is very well done. The musical score is a real joy to hear. The Sergio Leone direction and cinematography is not to be missed. Don't expect anything serious though, "Nobody" (played by Terence Hill) is the clown of the Spaghetti West, who will take the baddies by surprise and teach them a thing or two about good manners. Hilarious. I loved it.

  "My Name is Nobody" is a stylish and beautifully filmed western that explores the mythos of the old west and why it may not be such a good idea to meet one's heroes. Other movies have covered similar thematic ground like "The Man who Shot Liberty Valance" and "The Gunfighter," but this is still a lot of fun with some wickedly wondrous set pieces. The thin story concerns Jack Beauregard(Henry Fonda), an aging gunman who is still the fastest gun around in 1899.(Fonda is perfect for the role, being a Hollywood icon himself.) He has one score left to settle with Sullivan(Jean Martin) before he catches a boat out of New Orleans in about two weeks' time. Sullivan is fronting a scheme for the Wild Bunch and is ordered to either kill Beauregard or pay him off.(In case you're wondering, Sam Peckinpah is buried somewhere around here.) At the same time, Beauregard is being followed around everywhere by Nobody(Terence Hill), a young man who may be even faster than he is but lacks the taste for lethality. He has also not yet proven himself, so has not earned a name to be recorded in history books or dime novels.

  With an instantly recognisable soundtrack, I'm sure I watched this as a kid and now I'm all grown up it's as good fun as I remembered. A swansong to old, ready for retirement gunslingers and the young upstarts ready to take their place with some very silly set pieces and a twinkle in Terence Hill's eye throughout. Happy memories http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BXy1W7R13g&feature=related
