Fans and enthusiasts have been on a mission to track down the iconic cannon used by Clint Eastwood in the 1966 film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, for several years. The Manchester-made cannon was previously unknown to the public, but its discovery is set to be celebrated with the film's 60th anniversary approaching. According to reports, the cannon was used by Eastwood to fell a fleeing Eli Wallach in a pivotal scene from the film, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest Westerns of all time.
The discovery was made by a group of enthusiasts who have been working tirelessly to track down the cannon. They have confirmed that the cannon will be displayed in a Spanish museum, where it will be available for the public to view. The exact location of the museum has not been confirmed, but fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see the treasure up close.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a classic film that has stood the test of time, and the rediscovery of the cannon is a testament to the enduring popularity of the movie. The film has been recognised with numerous awards, including two BAFTA nominations and a Brit Award nomination. It has also been selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
The film is available to stream on major platforms, including Amazon Prime Video and Sky Cinema. It is also available to purchase on DVD and Blu-ray discs. Fans of the film can also catch it on BBC Four, where it is occasionally screened as part of their classic movie schedule.
