A Fistful of Dynamite, also known as Duck, You Sucker, is also pretty good.

Not strictly speaking a Western - it's set during a Mexican revolution - but Rod Steiger and James Coburn make a good pairing as a Mexican bandit turned revolutionary and the ex-IRA bomb-maker who reluctantly helps him.

I'm certain I read somewhere that Coburn was first choice to play The Man With No Name but was too expensive and had already signed to star in Our Man Flint.

Leone looked around for someone available and cheaper, signed an unknown called Eastwood and the rest is history.
