In Leone's ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]'' there is still the scheme of a pair of heroes vs. a villain but it is somewhat relaxed, as here all three parties were driven by a money motive. In subsequent films such as ''[[Any Gun Can Play]]'' (whose Italian title, "''Vado... l'ammazzo e torno''", is itself a quote from Leone's film), ''[[One Dollar Too Many]]'', and ''[[Kill Them All and Come Back Alone]]'' several main characters repeatedly form alliances and betray each other for monetary gain.<ref>Frayling (2000), pp. 201–47. Fridlund, pp. 204–217.</ref>

''[[Sabata (film)|Sabata]]'' and ''[[If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death]]'', directed by [[Gianfranco Parolini]], introduce into similar betrayal environments a type of hero molded on the Mortimer character from ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'', only without any vengeance motive and with more outrageous trick weapons. Fittingly enough Sabata is portrayed by [[Lee Van Cleef]] himself, while [[Gianni Garko|John Garko]] plays the very similar [[Sartana]] protagonist. Parolini made some more Sabata movies, while [[Giuliano Carnimeo]] made a whole series of Sartana films with Garko.<ref>Fridlund, pp. 217–230.</ref>
