The Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood) calls himself Manco in this film. "Manco" is Spanish for "lame of one hand", "one handed" or "one armed", which is pretty appropriate considering his habit of fighting, drinking, etc with his left hand only. His right hand always remains on his gun underneath his trademark poncho. (The assertion that his name is Monco is baseless, as that Italian word has nothing to do in Spanish-speaking towns of the South West of America.)

The safe that Indio robs with his gang in El Paso contains Confederate dollar notes.

The title of the film reportedly originated out of spite towards Jolly Films, the producers of A Fistful of Dollars, with whom 'Sergio Leone' had a bitter falling out.

Total kill count: 30. (Two of the kills were heard, but not shown.)
