The Noose

Item from The Dollars Trilogy by Sergio Leone / United Artists

The recurring instrument of Tuco's near-executions — the rope around his neck that Blondie shoots through to free him, until the last time when Blondie leaves him standing on a grave marker with his hands tied.

Also known as: The Noose, The Rope

What They Know

• Blondie shoots through it every time — until the final scene, where the timing is much longer than necessary
• The recurring execution-rescue scheme is how Blondie and Tuco fund their travels through the war
• The final noose is on a grave marker in Sad Hill Cemetery, with the gold already recovered
• Tuco standing in a noose is the image the film keeps returning to whenever it wants to state the power dynamic plainly
