 review of A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE
Leone is not shy about communicating alternative perspectives on the nature of government and revolution, and how revolutions become governments that are very rarely less despotic than the previous establishment.
Intimacy is not an unmanly condition and the heroes in Dynamite (and all of Leone's works) certainly come to love and respect each other deeply.
This love and respect is primarily translated through the eyes: the dominant of Leone's two obsessions, the eyes and the mouth.

 A Fistful of Dynamite/Duck, You Sucker/Giù la testa
Certainly, choosing to make an extra-chunky “spaghetti Western” like A Fistful of Dynamite at this time in his career did little to help him regain the reputation of an inspired master director – rather it helped to pigeon-hole him as a genre auteur.

 Sergio Leone: A Fistful-of-Leone!
A Fistful of Dollars created the spaghetti western genre which encompassed more than 200 films, sharing the features of being created in Italy, frequently being filmed in Spain, featuring self-assured killers with no names, scores either by Ennio Morricone, or in his style, and, of course, the shootout.
Leone's style grew from imitating Kurasawa to his own style, which uses editing in combination with Morricone's scores to create incredible emotional peaks, dramatic camera movements, and, his trademark, the extreme close-up of the eyes of the characters.
The genre is called a "Zapata Western", and although Leone did not create it, A Fistful of Dynamite is one of the genre's most memorable films.

 "Duck, You Sucker!" vs. "Fistful of Dynamite"
I am John Kirk, the person at MGM who has supervised the recent restoration of "Fistful of Dollars" and the extended English language version of "GBU" (both remixed into 5.1 Dolby Digital).
So Leone was not at all interested in demeaning the movie by making it seem like a companion piece to Fistful of Dollars, or as part of a Once upon a time trilogy as the French seemed to want.
My opinion is that the title is referred to the explosions, for dynamite is a central element in the movie.
