What made Fist Full of Dollars different from the other movies?

I can't explain this one quickly and easily, but I'll do my best. Fistful of Dollars is a remake of the Japanese movie Yojimbo, directed by Akira Kurosawa. It is about a wandering samurai who comes between two warring families, and he plays them against each other ruthlessly for his own benefit. The same story was later told in a gangster movie called Last Man Standing. Other films have been remade from Kurosawa movies, including Star Wars and The Magnificent Seven, so the connection to Kurosawa does not make Fistful of Dollars unique. Fistful of Dollars was an Italian movie filmed in Spain and directed by Sergio Leone, but it was not the first "Spaghetti Western," although it did popularize the genre in the US. Leone wanted Henry Fonda to play the main character, but Fonda was too expensive, and Charles Bronson was committed to another film, so Clint Eastwood got the part as third choice. [A few years later, Leone made Once Upon a Time in the West starring Fonda as the bad guy and Bronson as the good guy.] Sergio Leone (whom Robert Aldrich had recently fired as second unit director on Sodom and Gomorrah) wanted to make a Western as close to a Hollywood Western as possible, and he was constantly asking Eastwood for advice. However, Eastwood had seen Yojimbo, and he wanted to make an anti-Western in which the good guy is not so good, so he lied to Leone in order to make the movie as different from a Hollywood Western as possible. In conclusion, Fistful of Dollars was not different from previous movies, but it was different from many previous Westerns. Hardcore Western fans were incensed, and Eastwood got an angry phone call from John Wayne, but the movie was a hit and it paved the way for one of America's greatest movie stars and one of Italy's greatest movie directors.

Sergio also directed 'Once Upon a Time in the West'.
