  • Not westerns: Hard Times and Hell Is for Heroes are confirmed as non-westerns.
  • Bite the Bullet: he was third-billed, behind Hackman and Candice Bergen.
  • Draw!: it’s a 1984 TV film with Coburn as Sam Starret. The page doesn’t confirm the Kirk Douglas co-star, so check that separately.
  • Duck, You Sucker!: the page says it was less regarded than Leone’s earlier four westerns but hugely popular in Europe, especially France. “Underrated” is fair, but “emotionally powerful” is my opinion, not the record.

What I missed

  • A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die (1973): released in the US as Massacre at Fort Holman, an Italian western with Coburn as Colonel Pembroke. It belongs on the list, probably in the lower half. I can’t judge its quality from this source.
  • Possible extras: the page also lists The Man from Galveston (1963 TV pilot for Temple Hou
