Another deleted scene from this part of the film had
Villega visiting some sick man in a rebel safe house when he gets arrested by
Colonel Reza's soldiers, who take him to Reza who then tortures Villega in what
was said to be very violent scene. While this is going on, John and Juan go to
the same man Villega was visiting when he got arrested where they find out what
happened and Juan goes back to caves to warn others, while John goes to try and
find Villega. This is originally where the scene where John sees Villega in the
truck with Reza when his soldiers kill other revolutionaries took place, and
right after that one next scene was him going back to the caves where he and
Juan find all the other revolutionaries and his children dead. This is another
deleted scene that was also shown on lobby cards and stills.
That scene was later deleted as Sergio Leone found it too violent to be shown in theaters but if you are lucky you might just catch the film in its entirety on YouTube if you can find it. He did, however, keep the scene of the revolutionaries and the dead children of Juan Miranda but that happened offscreen.
