[Geek Tragedy]

This please...

with a less cliche and ugly font.

Classic western from Leone & Eastwood

"Every gun makes its own tune"

 

[paulboland]

This would be good

But will most likely be this without Special edition

YESSS!

 

[ABjerg]

Finally. Been waiting for forever

 

[Apinamakina]

If they would re-restore it I would be up for it. The already existing blu-ray of this movie looks bad.

I hope they dont use the same cover from the special edition dvd... that would be boring and effortless! This is a big, classic film i hope they make it special!!

 

[sanjeebdeb]

[NinjaFeetz]

Awesome. And not a Zavvi exclusive, even more awesome.

And you can bet your bottom dollar this will be that disc re packaged in a piece if tin with ****** art work and more than a tenner. No thanks.

This has been on my radar for the longest time. Good old steelbooks, the perfect excuse to pick it up real soon. XD

Do I need to see the other 2 films to really understand the story and/or appreciate it?

 

[Hella]

Hmmm, I'd buy a 3-discer of the entire MWNN trilogy to replace my existing set, not unlike the classy German Spider-Man steel. But this by itself with no guarantee of the other two? Ehhh...

 

[taher]

I have the Ozzie Digibook but will definitely get this!!!

Not being funny but why do you come into a steelbook forum at all? Everything about them seems to upset you

 

[Shanester]

No. Even though Eastwood plays the same character in all three films the stories aren't really connected like say The Godfather.

The trilogy is associated more because of Leone's unique directing style which became known as "spaghetti westerns"

Which version is this?

Versions:
- The original English export versions ran for c.161 mins.
- The Italian theatrical version ran for c.174 mins.
- An early preview version, shown in Italy, included the fabled 'grotto scene'.
- The 2003 restoration (running c.178 mins) rebuilds the film, using the Italian theatrical version as its basis and reinstating the grotto scene deleted after early preview screenings. This version includes new dubbing by Wallach and Eastwood (and a Lee Van Cleef soundalike) for scenes that were never originally dubbed into English, and a new foley track.
