The gun store scene (Eli Wallach as Tuco) was copied from Zane Grey Theater (1956) season one, episode eighteen, "Backtrail", in which Dick Powell played a retired gunfighter outlaw who is forced to take up the gun again. He visits a store and takes pieces and hones down a perfect gun. Sergio Leone was a big fan of the show. Sergio Leone was able to extend the scene much more, since he had a movie feature length at his disposal. In the Zane Grey Theater (1956) version, Dick Powell paid the gun store owner; in 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', Eli Wallach as Tuco robbed him blind. Sergio Leone wanted to take away the politeness found in American westerns.
