In this movie Leone uses a range of characters such as priests, mercenary’s, Confederate and Union soldiers, bandits, storekeepers, bounty hunters and wealthy lawmen making up some of the cast though these roles are what takes a majority of scenes. However Leone is able to separate these roles from small changes to the outfits with the drunk Captain Clinton who wears his uniform differently to other Union soldiers showing his type of character or comparing Tuco who dresses messy compared to Angel Eyes who dresses in smart dark clothes. This is done to make it clearer to the audience who these characters are compared to something like Star Trek where everyone wears the same costume and at first its hard to distinguish who is who in their roles. The costume of Clint Eastwood worn has become iconic in both movies in general and the western genre. Boba Fett’s character from Star Wars was based of the Man with no name in mannerisms and his look is slightly based off his signature poncho look what has the same colour scheme as his armor.
