Summary
Sergio Leone's follow-up to A Fistful of Dollars turns two bounty hunters loose in the same dusty border country. Clint Eastwood's Monco and Colonel Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef), an older marksman carrying a case of custom rifles, are both tracking El Indio, a bandit broken out of prison by his gang and now planning to take the bank at El Paso. Rather than shoot each other over the reward, they split the job: one rides undercover with Indio's men while the other waits outside. Mortimer's stake in the hunt, hinted at by a chiming pocket watch, has little to do with money.
Released in 1965, For a Few Dollars More is a drama and western film. The runtime is 132 minutes. It is rated R. Its listed language is Italian.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 1960s films — 1,929 of them. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,537 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 354 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 363 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where For a Few Dollars More lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1960s (1,929 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 354.
