While I don’t know for sure (I can ask Uli), I would highly assume that they’re either from the previous disc, or improvements upon those. As far as I know, EM does not have the financial firepower to buy goodies from other companies
Arrived yesterday - number 600 and something. I’m looking forward to watching this uncut in English with good quality image and audio - then I can decide if I prefer the English dubbing (to hear Milian) or the Italian dubbing (to hear Volonte). I used to have the Japanese SPO disc which this should easily surpass.
The international cut of Faccia a faccia on the Explosive Media BR extended verison disk runs for a little more than 111 min, 4 min longer than the Koch Media Sollima box release. I guess that is because of the PAL effect again? The Italian dub is by far superior to the English, in my opinion. What a great film this is and what a superb release. I found no 24 pages’ booklet along with the BRs though. However, there is a long interview with Sollima (“Spaghetti Western memories”) on the theatrical version disk.
“Yes” is too simplistic an answer. There is no PAL or NTSC in BluRay so to me the jury’s out whether an upscaling from a PAL source will actually mean more or less of running time on the eventual HD material. Plus, whether you’re dealing with a minute more or less (really not much time), all depends where you start and stop counting and how much “black screen” your see before your disc jumps back to the menu…
