The subject of the most attention out of all “The Good,
the Bad and the Ugly” deleted scenes, the Socorro sequence saw Tuco extorting
money from a small town in Confederate-held territory, with his rival Blondie
hatching a successful plot to steal back the money for himself with the aid of
a prostitute. Though official efforts were made to locate the scene, only two
brief clips from the French theatrical trailer and several promotional stills
were ever found. A description and reconstruction of the Socorro sequence are
included in MGM’s 2004 Special Edition DVD, and most subsequent home video
releases.
The location of Tuco’s preaching to the villagers as it looks today.
