Okay I just watched this movie and it has been like 10 years since I have seen it. My question is, at the end, the little midget guy says, "you never told me your name." Then Eastwood say, "you already know it"

Does this mean he was related to the Marshall that got killed in the town when nobody would help him?

Why did he have them paint the town red?

cool movie BTW

I also bought the DVD boxed set of the "Nameless man trilogy"

Fist Full of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the ugly

I could be high as a clown, but I always assumed that that meant he WAS the Marshall that got killed and came back from beyond the grave to have his revenge. I like to think of it that way anyway, so I hope I'm right. The red town? Im not sure, But it could have been metaphoric of his spilled blood from when no one helped him. That would seem to be the obvious choice. Just guesses though.

OH!!! That makes sense to me.

I recently watched this. Awesome movie. Yeah schutd, he definitely was the Marshall. I think he had them paint the town red because he was turning it into hell before he got his revenge.

There are some great lines in this.

I took the painting of the town red to be symbolic of the blood on their hands.

That movie is in my top ten favorites of all time.

Yep..... I agree.


And he definitely WAS the marshall.

The Stranger: I'm not your brother.
Preacher: We are all brothers in the eyes of God.
The Stranger: All these people, are they your sisters and brothers?
Preacher: They most certainly are.
The Stranger: ...Then you won't mind if they come over and stay at your place, will ya?



Definitely in my top 10.
