5. "The Good" Is Actually The Most Violent Of The Trio

Clint Eastwood's Blondie may have been labelled "The Good" for the film, his character is seen killing more people on-screen than both Angel Eyes (The Bad) and Tuco (The Ugly) put together. This isn't necessarily down to screen-time either, as Blondie and Tuco both feature more or less equally - though Angel Eyes only crops up here and there.

Blondie is seen killing 11 characters during the film's runtime, while Tuco kills 6 and Angel Eyes - the villain of the piece, I might add - only kills 3.

It is worth nothing, however, that while protagonists Blondie and Tuco kill exclusively bandits, bounty hunters and corrupt military officials, Angel Eyes kills a former soldier, his young son and a bed-ridden invalid, cementing his villainous nature.
