1971 Zapata Western film directed by Sergio Leone

Duck, You Sucker! (Italian: Giù la testa, lit. "Duck Your Head", "Get Down"), also known as A Fistful of Dynamite and Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution, is a 1971 epic Zapata Western film directed and co-written by Sergio Leone and starring Rod Steiger, James Coburn, and Romolo Valli.

Set during the Mexican Revolution of the 1910s, the film tells the story of Juan Miranda, a Mexican outlaw, and John Mallory, a former member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Irish Volunteer Army. After they accidentally meet under less-than-friendly circumstances, Juan and John involuntarily become heroes of the revolution, despite being forced to make heavy sacrifices.

It is the second film of Leone's unofficial Once Upon a Time Trilogy, following Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) and preceding Once Upon a Time in America (1984). The last Western directed by Leone, some critics consider it among his most overlooked films.
