A Fistful Of Dollars introduced Clint Eastwood's amoral Man with No Name to audiences, but an ABC TV edit tried to make the character a hero.
When A Fistful Of Dollars first aired on ABC, an exclusive prologue was added to set up the story - but ruined the mystique of Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name in the process. During the heyday of the Western genre, audiences wanted uncomplicated tales of good vs evil led by heroic figures such as John Wayne. There were exceptions of course - such as Wayne's own The Searchers - but on the whole, there was little in the way of moral murkiness to the heroes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fronted by Eastwood's Man with No Name, those violent spaghetti Westerns took place in a world without traditional good guys. The Man with No Name might be cool, but he's also an opportunistic killer. The success of the trilogy not only launched Eastwood's movie career but also inspired later movies to focus on anti-hero protagonists.
Fistful Of Dollars' TV Prologue Misunderstands Eastwood's Character Fistful Of Dollars is an unofficial Yojimbo remake and loosely follows the structure of Akira Kurosawa's samurai classic. Eastwood's gunslinger isn't totally without a conscience or sense of right and wrong, but his main motivator is to make money and move on.
ABC Fistful Of Dollars prologue reportedly only aired once and sees a body double standing in for Eastwood. The character is taken from a cell to the office of Stanton's Warden, who offers him a period in exchange for going to San Miguel and clearing out the warring gangs. The Man with No Name doesn't speak, while ill-fitting close-ups of Eastwood's eyes are used to make it seem like he's actually there.
Why Eastwood Didn't Appear In Fistful Of Dollars' TV Intro It's obvious that neither Leone nor Eastwood was involved with ABC's Fistful Of Dollars prologue scene. Even though the rest of the story plays out the same way, the new opening just serves to undermine Eastwood's "Joe." By the time this version of A Fistful Of Dollars aired, Eastwood was already a major star thanks to the Dollars trilogy and the first two Dirty Harrys.
