You are right, korano!
Dan van Husen has confirmed that Fulci had nothing to do with this film.
This also reminds me of the situation on FIVE MAN ARMY which people constantly say was really directed by Dario Argento. When Tom Betts, Donald Bruce, and I met up with Peter Graves he adamantly swore that Argento had absolutely nothing to do with directing that film. He said that the script he was given had Argento as a story contributor (not even a full-fledged writing credit!); but, that the film was directed by Don Taylor with producer Italo Zingarelli on hand to handle some minor shots.
Things like this are, as you said korano, frustrating.
As for BULLET FOR SANDOVALāI really like this one; but, the US DVD version that is available just doesnāt hold up to very many repeated viewings, as far as I am concerned. The uncut version is much better.
Silenceā¦
Annabella appeared in a sub-plot sequence which makes up a large portion of the middle of the film in its original version. All of this sub-plot ended up being cut for the US theatrical release (for some ridiculous reason, I am sure). Thus, that sequence is missing from the VCI disc, too.
However, her credit always appears on all US press materials for this film!
Another frustrating situation.
I am hoping that one day the full version of this movie appears on DVD. I have a really badā¦and getting worseā¦third generation VHS of an Israeli pre-record of the uncut version and it is much better than the US version.
The uncut version would definitely hold up to repeated viewingsā¦but, my tape is so bad that I canāt bring myself to look at it very often.
But one reason that things are so frustrating is that there are so many different staements and memories:
āDario Argento has said that Taylor was the director just like credited, but on the other hand actress Daniela Giordano remembers Taylor only being there on the first day of shooting before Zingarelli took over.ā
I have to correct me. Excellent is a bit exaggerated but itās pretty good. Itās is a DVD-R from a Swedish (so I think) VHS. 2,35:1 in good colors. There is also a version already cut together with the VCI disc. The difference to the weaker VHS parts is visible , but not too much as the colors are nearly identical.
But I donāt know if it is somewhere to buy. You surely can trade the VHS copy.
I already own the vci dvd, donāt care much about the picture quality of the dvd-r unless itās really horrible, but Iād love to see those missing scenes anyway, itās one my favourite spagies. Have to make a more thorough search to find the uncut version I guess.

saw this last night and this is a spaghetti western done the way i like them,sombre, tough, no punches pulled. I really like this one, and was hooked right from the beginning. Everything about this is good, the acting, the music, the climax.straight in to my top 20.
I havenāt been able to locate a DVDR copy of the uncut version yet and I want to rewatch it badly. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A DVDR shop, an email, a torrent or anything like that?
Iāve seen this one recently and found it very dramatic too (at least in the first half), a outsider in the genre.
Thereās a very fucked-up scene in which Hilton kills a man by drowning it in a milk basket. Beautiful.
