6’Il Grotto' - 36 Minutes In
Tuco’s Criminal Backstory Explored
Perhaps the most underwhelming of the deleted scene is also the Extended Edition ’s first . Colloquially referred to as ' Il Grotto ' , this scene was absentminded from both the original Italian and US cuts of The Good , the Bad and the Ugly . It depicts a very disgruntled Tuco entering the cave hideout of his former gang , melodramatically lamenting about his current situation . Tuco is evidently talking to himself , stating that " I ’m rich , but I ’m lonesome " , and mentioning a blond man ( Blondie ) with $ 4000 before his three former gang fellow member reveal themselves to him .
As the next scene in the flick depicts Tuco ’s gang still-hunt Blondie , it can be assume that Il Grotto ’s sole purpose was to show how Tuco recruited the three world . While this ( and the rather uninspiring cinematography on display in the cave ) has invoke questions about the necessity of the scene itself , Il Grotto reveal something very interesting about Tuco ’s character . So far , Tuco has been portrayed as a bumbling , scruffy character . However , Il Grottoshifts the perception of Tuco into a very intelligent manwho is easily able-bodied to manipulate his former friend into assist him take down Blondie .
