The Good, the Bad and the Ugly / Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (Sergio Leone, 1966)

The standalone US BD of the 4K remaster does include the original mono (accept for the reinstated scenes).

OK, cool. Iā€™d been wondering what colour Tucoā€™s jacket actually was in the final scene? Was it brown, or reddish brown?

I know.

It would be necessary to make a better dub for the new scenes. It is possible to alter the voices so that they sound closer to the original.
In the early 90s German TV did this to the long version of Viscontiā€™s Ludwig, and it was nearly perfect.

Chaps! Those ā€œflaresā€ are called chaps.

Aww, I love that! Iā€™ve been inspired to wear a belt and suspenders thanks to this movie.

Whatā€™s that thing hanging around Eliā€™s neck? Not the choker, the other thing. I wonder what that thing is?

I find I only love FFD more after I watch GBU, i like the fanboy in me transition that happens from the end of GBU to the beginning of FFD when the man with no name rides into town, us knowing all he just went thru lol

Is there anyway we can get a petition to have the 161 min ver preserved on hd?

Iā€™ve heard that the picture quality on the Italian DVDs is closer to the original. Can anyone verify this? Also, isnā€™t there any fandubs with the English mono audio available? If there is, someone please help me get one!

New footage found! A must read blog post and video analysis

Those photos are an artistā€™s gold mine.

And in my opinion, Iā€™m glad the ā€˜Story of a Soldierā€™ scene was cut by a couple of minutes. I think it went on just long enough, to keep the audience interested and not cause apathy.

I actually like the idea of Tuco showing a little kindness towards the Mexican peones being enlisted as Confederatesā€¦ while trying to kill Blondie.

Interesting stuff

Wow ! Talk about research or what.

Where can I find this capture of the Tele 5 TV broadcast?

Can anyone send me a DVD-R of the fan edit? I really want to see the Italian cut with the original English mono audio.
