Leone provided that, primarily through stylistic devices. One of the things I like about Leone's Westerns is that he'll spend a very long time on the preliminaries to a gunfight. But then, once they exchange shots, it's very quick, much quicker than the typical walk-down in an American Western. All of that preparation is fabulous. It's kind of funny, and it's very suspenseful.
