===Film=== * [[Mad Max]], in [[Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome]] 1985 is introduced into the fighting ring as the man with no name * [[Boba Fett]], an antagonist from [[George Lucas]]' ''[[Star Wars]]'' film series, was based on the Man with No Name, according to [[Jeremy Bulloch]], the actor who portrayed him, from his mannerisms to his green-on-white armor that has the same colour scheme as the Man's poncho.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Young|first1=Bryan|title=THE CINEMA BEHIND STAR WARS: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY|url=https://www.starwars.com/news/the-cinema-behind-star-wars-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly|website=StarWars.com|date=18 December 2012|access-date=18 May 2016}}</ref> * [[Vincent Canby]] described [[Fred Williamson]]'s character in the [[blaxploitation]] film ''[[Boss Nigger]]'' as "an immensely self-assured parody" of the Man with No Name character.<ref name="canby19750227">{{Cite news |url=http://movies2.nytimes.com/mem/movies/review.html?res=9C05E7DA143CE034BC4F51DFB466838E669EDE |title='Boss Nigger,' Black Western, Proves a Surprise |last=Canby |first=Vincent |date=27 February 1975 |work=The New York Times |access-date=26 January 2018 |archive-date=10 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210073757/http://movies2.nytimes.com/mem/movies/review.html?res=9C05E7DA143CE034BC4F51DFB466838E669EDE |url-status=dead }}</ref> * The 2011 animated Western film ''[[Rango (2011 film)|Rango]]'' mentions multiple times a character named "the Spirit of the West", a mythical figure among the inhabitants of the town of Dirt, who conducts an "alabaster carriage", protected by "golden guardians". Near the end of the film, the titular character meets the Spirit (voiced by [[Timothy Olyphant]]) who appears to him as what is implied to be an elderly version of either Eastwood or the Man with No Name (although that is not explicitly stated, except for Rango mentioning that was once the Spirit's appearance's moniker), with the carriage being a [[golf cart]] and the guardians being [[Academy Awards]]-like statuettes.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/article/2011/03/06/the-top-six-rango-riffs-on-classic-movies/ |title=Johnny Depp's 'Rango': Its top six riffs on classic movies |last=Breznican |first=Anthony |date=6 March 2011 |magazine= Entertainment Weekly |access-date=6 November 2018}}</ref> * The movie ''[[Willy's Wonderland]]'' features the Man with No Name as a drifter, played by [[Nicolas Cage]], who is coerced into a dangerous situation requiring heroic and violent action. * The movie ''[[Back to the Future Part II]]'' portrays a scene where the character Biff is watching a scene from ''A Fistful of Dollars''. Michael J. Fox's character, Marty McFly, would later emulate that same scene Biff was watching in ''[[Back to the Future Part III]]''.
