UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - A Fistful of Dollars & For a Few Dollars More -- in 4k UHD (1 Viewer)

[Capt D McMars]

Great theme for the last of the trilogy.I like the little vocal interjections.Very catchy.

the amazing Morricone, he invented that st yle of soundtrack music, with Leones visuals, the perfect pair!!

I hope this means a 4K remastered edition of "Once Upon a Time in the West"

YES!

Kino Lorber has a deal with Paramount, so anything is possible.

On the other hand, it would be a Paramount master. So. . . We'd have to hope for the best on that score.

Be careful what you wish for. Such a release would come from Paramount, and unlike Sony and Warner, their record isn't particularly shiny.

Well, Hell. As long as we're sharing.

Nice one Kent!!

I went to one of those live symphony concerts where they score a movie live for Pirates of the Caribbean and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I would have MAD respect for anyone that tackled a Morricone-scored western that way. My personal favorite of his is Death Rides a Horse, but I would certainly take either Dollars movie, too.

Alright, as long as we're going down that road. . . I mean, it's vaguely on topic, right?

 

[David Norman]

Could someone tell me if the included Blu-ray is identical to the one in the previous Kino release?

Was this ever confirmed for these 2 new 4K titles?

I keep looking and can't seem to find a clean answer

The description "-Over 24 Hours of extensive shot-by-shot color grading of the logarithmic restored 4K files provided by L’Immagine Ritrovata" and "The Complete Restored Edit of FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE with Extensive Shot-by-Shot Color Grading " vs the last discs description "-Brand New 4K Restoration" seems to suggest Kino tweaked something, but if they did was it anything significant

Got 4K Touch of Evil from Your_treasurehunter for $16.25 + shipping, ordered on 5/16 and it arrived on 5/19. I was suspicious as well, as I've heard tales of bad actors ripping off retailers and selling their wares on amazon for major discounts. In this case, their merchant page seems to almost exclusively be made up of Kino-affiliated labels (735 products listed). Lots of good prices, so hopefully they're on the up-and-up: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=merchant-items&me=AJXWTYZ9LKL6T

I picked up Gambit for $11.99 from this seller a few weeks ago. Fast ship. Perfect product.

Very nice to see that there are no crushed blacks this time!

 

[dpippel]

I'd be very hesitant about judging black levels based on a few compressed JPEG screenshots.

But wouldn’t JPEG compression make crushed blacks worse, if anything?
