You will not regret this decision

 

[Kai Zas]

If these movies are even half as good as OUATITW is, I'm happy. Considering GBU rates higher on IMDB, I guess I won't regret it.

(Time to upgrade my dated R2 copy of Unforgiven too, I noticed.)

It's nice to (re)discover a genre.

I also recently bought the set from best buy. But at only 30 bucks, I won't cry too much double dippin for some upgraged sets. Especially to hear the soundtrack in much better sound

 

[Stephen_J_H]

Here's hoping that MGM will treat this restored version with the same loving care Paramount lavished on OUATITW, one of my favourite discs of last year.

 

[Ruz-El]

OUATINW was the first Leon western I saw, and I can't wait to get my habds on this trilogy, and wait I well for the better quality PQ and SQ!

I thought they were remastering the other 2 at the same time? A new 35 print of fistful recently played in town. (I missed it though :frowning: )

 

[oscar_merkx]

I am particularly interested in the 4 easter eggs

 

[Ryan_TD]

Region 1 release date??

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

Does anyone know if this will be a 2-disc set or if the rest of the trilogy will recieve the same Special Edition treatment?

If this is the only film that is being re-done, than I'd hope it comes out as a single-disc so that I can fit it into my current box-set and just replace the old disc.

 

[John Hodson]

Is there a drooling smiley?

 

[Eric Estrada]

Here are the disc details and cover art!

I can't wait!!!

 

[Ray H]

Very cool.

 

[Mark_TS]

my god, the cover/box is TOO cool!

 

[Justin Bauer]

This is my MUST HAVE DVD of the year so far.

That packaging and disc art look amazing.

 

[Edwin-S]

I think the box art is boring. Why didn't they use the image that is on the top postcard shown in photo 2. It is one case where the "floating head" approach works and it was a piece of original poster art to boot. It sure looks a lot better than what they are going to use. After all, there were three main characters in this film, and I'm only seeing one of them depicted.

Added:

I notice that the postcard image has the original Italian Title. It would have been a neat extra if they had put this art on the disc case as a reversible cover. The original Italian on one side and English on the other.

 

[Jim_K]

Great news.

If they would've included the original US cut also this set would be perfect.

I'm not complaining though.

 

[Gordon McMurphy]

The region 2 edition is up for pre-order at PLAY.COM, fellow Limeys.

Great, great film.

 

[oscar_merkx]

this is awesome news indeed.

This will likely be the second year that a Sergio Leone film on dvd will become DVD of the Year



Anybody have any idea about A Fistfull of Dollars & For a Few More Dollars SE ?

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

I'm holding out in hopes that all 3 films will be redone and packaged together in a box-set.
