Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez is a Mexican bandit and the protagonist of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly .A wanted man in the American Old West, with a price on his head of $2,000, this Mexican desperado's wanted poster is not completely unfurled by the gang ambushing him at the beginning of the film, so we cannot be sure for all of what he was wanted (at least by them).However, a partial account of Tuco's other known crimes is transcribed below as best known discerned from the dialog of the court officials during a careful viewing of the classic film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in which he is just about to be hanged (twice); only to be rescued by 'The Man with No Name'* (called Blondie by Tuco) using his miraculous sharpshooting with a Henry repeating rifle (which also miraculously fires in terrific rapid-fire to affect the 'redemption' of Tuco):Tuco's Crimes Stated During the First Hanging : Tuco was wanted in 14 counties of this state, the condemned is found guilty of the crimes of murder; armed robbery of citizens, state banks and post offices; the theft of sacred objects; arson in a state prison; perjury; bigamy; deserting his wife and children; inciting prostitution; kidnapping; extortion; receiving stolen goods; selling stolen goods; passing counterfeit money; and contrary to the laws of this state the condemned is guilty of using marked cards ... (inaudible due to other dialog) ... Therefore, according to the powers vested in us we sentence the accused here before us Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez and any other aliases he might have to hang by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on his soul. Proceed. ( Blondie starts delivering his miracle shots cutting the rope, dusting off the hats of the official and lookers-on, etc.)The Second Hanging : Tuco was also wanted in 15 counties of this state, the condemned standing before us - sitting before us - Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez has been for guilty by the Third District Circuit Court of the following crimes: murder; assaulting a Justice of the Peace; raping a virgin of the White race, and statuatory rape of a minor of the Black race; of derailing of trains in order to rob the passengers; ... (again portions are inaudible due to other characters talking) ... robbery; highway robbery; robbing an unknown number of post offices; breaking out of a ... and the condemned is associated ... ... marked cards and loaded dice ... ... catching and selling fugitive slaves ... thereby ... in a high place of authority ... in the Sheriff's Office in Sonora ... setting fire to a wagon train; ... statement in advance ... a hundred rounds to a Souix Indian ... the condemnded is also guilty of ... supplying Indians ... and mis-representing himself as a Mexican general ... salary and allowance from the Union Army. Of all these crimes the accused made made a full, spontaneous confession. Therefore we condemn him to be hung (sic) by the neck until dead. May the Lord have mercy on his soul. Proceed. (The shooting starts again, and Tuco is one again 'redeemed', but since it's getting harder , Blondie dissolves the partnership (it's untied ). He rides off with the money and generously - albeit smart-assedly - tells Tuco that you remain tied and can keep the rope .)The two re-form their 'partnership' to battle Angel Eyes ( Sentenza as masterfully played by Lee van Cleef) and have memorable good times tracking down the $200,000 in gold - Sentenza ('The Bad') being not allowed to partake, naturally.Exactly why Blondie doesn't dispatch Tuco and divide the loot with him at the end of the movie for his evidently nefarious life of crime is unknown (except, of course, because Blondie is 'The Good'), yet we, the audience liken to the hapless Tuco and invest a passing interest in his well-being, general health and good spirits. And even though Blondie executes three possibly obstensively innocent men (the 3 bounty hunters) just to get him for himself for the hanging/rope cutting partnership, we get to like Tuco at least enough to not want to see him killed, even at the famous and story-tidy - yet marvelously high-tension - Last Hanging of Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez at the end of the film.(And it's made obvious to Tuco that anybody as capable as Blondie would not appreciate being followed to obscond with his 'cut' of the take.)* In For a Fist Full of Dollars Clint Eastwood's character is referred to as 'Manco' by a sheriff, but since each trilogy is considered as a separate story with different characters, we never know his real name in the film.
