Just watching this now, to my untrained eye it does look remastered, but if it isn't I'm still glad I got it, this is a truly exceptional movie, the the word classic gets thrown around a lot but this is one film that deserves it, if you haven't got it, get it
They've definitely remastered the picture. The colour timing has been tweaked also. You can see it on the opening credits. The bright outside scenes are very very good. Inside scenes though a bit hit and miss but overall, i'm happy with it. Will have to find the old version and do a proper compare. I'm still a bit unconvinced with the 5.1 track. Just wish the 1.0 mono track was uncompressed.
I think this is the information from the old disc.
According to the information from www.caps-a-holic.com, the following is the audio and subtitle of the new UK disc.
AUDIO:
English DTS-HD MA 5.1
English Dolby Digital 1.0
Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1
French DTS 5.1
German DTS-HD MA 1.0
Portuguese Dolby Digital 5.1
SUBTITLES:
English, Spanish, French, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, German, Norwegian, Portuguese, Swedish
How does Amazon pack their steelbooks these days?
Last one I got was in a big package with lots of air space (frustrations free packaging?) and the steelbook had a huge dent on the front
Complained and was told to keep it + refund. I threw it out. Couldn't salvage the remnants of the damned thing (Oblivion steelie).
I've had a recent delivery for this steelbook in a horrible A1 card mailer, as mentioned earliar, easy to dent and get scratches. The frustration free deliveries I have had were all secure and no problems, maybe you were unlucky.

My steelbook was A1and more importantly the picture and sound is awesome.The picture is a quantum leap above any other copy I've ever owned.
An 18 rated film with "moderate violence", weird the BBFC has this film recorded on their site with different content advisory so seems they made a printing error
BBFC rating is 18
Classified date 24/04/2014
The BBFC Website has this version and previous extended versions by WARNER/MGM/FOX as 18 Cert
Some Previous versions were 15 cert and they have not updated the Cert description to describe its 18
Reason for 18 Cert is extended content and new extras content making it an 18 Cert
It is an 18 Cert
Note the DVD was also 18 Cert when released in 2004
IFCO rating (Rep of Ireland) is 15 Cert

How can it be an 18 for moderate violence? There are plenty of 15 rated films with strong violence.
I agree compared to some modern films which is only 15 Cert some of them the subject matter has more violence and adult content etc
than The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
But they have continued to give this Cert of 18 except for 2 previous releases they gave a 15 cert
The Extras are often the reason for a cert of 18 as it can discuss subject matter that is considered 18 cert
There are some DVD/Blu-ray releases of some films were the film itself is 12 or 15 but the extras make it an 18 Cert
There is one scene in the film and some other content they consider to be not suitable for under 18 but its a major part of the film and to remove it would be not feasible to continuity of the film
The Steelbook itself is nice but it could have been a lot better with different Artwork Design
What's ironic is 'For a Few Dollars More' is a 15 I think for "strong violence". I personally don't think any of these films would disturb anyone over the age of 12 like say The Dark Knight would.
I agree with you i was surprised how different it looked compared to the pictures of it but i am really happy with the whole release, the transfer and the steelbook. A review is up now on br.com and its a damn good review and i agree with it all the way.

I know it's not exactly steelbook related.
But R.I.P. Eli Wallach who passed away today at the age of 98. What an age!

Watched this last night,the word Masterpiece can get easily bandied about but it's not until you see something like this that you realise just how good it is.
It's the best I've seen it look at home and wished my Grandad was still with me ,he'd have loved watching it.
A soldiers story still one of the most moving and heartfelt tunes to ever grace celluloid and this Steelbook should be in everybody's collection,understated and the inside artwork a reminder of just how brilliantly edited that scene was.
