For a Few Dollars More

The story focuses on masculine camaraderie and male relationships without any indication of queer subtext. It assumes everyone is straight or cisgender.

Female characters are limited to minor roles in saloon settings. They have little control over the story and are overshadowed by male dominance.

Despite being set in Mexico, the main characters are mostly white. Ethnic characters are portrayed using conventional period clichés without much nuance.

The film challenges the traditional 'righteous pioneer' by presenting morally ambiguous mercenaries instead of heroes. It questions institutional authority through a lens of moral relativism.

The film does not feature characters with visible or invisible disabilities as central narrative elements.
