Just finished viewing the full version and its interesting how so many of the short cuts add up to a more serious and darker toned film. This is one that really deserves a proper uncut release. Its also interesting just to observe where some of the small cuts are made- its quickly apparent that they were done in order to make the film more āniceā
This was really the first time I have watched the movie from start to finish and I liked it more than I thought I would. A very unique plot for a spaghetti.

Iād be interested to hear if anyone experiences any problems with the uncut disc. Its a hybrid source disc with mixed Film/NTSC video and it plays fine for me, but Iām unsure if it will cause any problems in other players.
Just downloaded the DViX version and burned it to a disc; watched a couple of minutes on my PC, seemed to play fine.
Iāll watch the movie tomorrow or the day after. Iāve had a busy day and itās already rather late overhere.
Updated the DVD info in the DB to reflect the correct MGM runtime of 98mins. It did show 118 min, which is the uncut runtime. Amazon has it listed incorrectly also as 118min.
I watched Autephexās work of art yesterday night
That was quite a job, Autephex.
Above all, the new material seems to change the mood of the film. It never felt like an upbeat movie, but i only now realized how sad, how downbeat it all is.
Iāll be writing a review over the next few days, and I will ask you to add some comments on your work, what material you used, how you did, all the technical stuff. Can you do that?
PM me the text, Iāll check if I understand - more or less - whatās being said.
If thereās a part I donāt understand at all, we can always try to rewrite it. But thereās no need to be simplistic, we might have readers who are interested in all the technical details.
This really made an impression on me, because its kind of strange how much effect such short cuts have. I had to watch it a second time just to see if I still had the same take on it, and again these scenes really seem to somehow add a depth to everything. I almost feel silly for saying it because its not a lot of really dramatic cuts. Perhaps it is partially because I find it very interesting to see how a studio went about altering a film in order to change its entire message/character. These editors were almost surgical with their precision, in regards to cutting very little for big effect. Iām afraid maybe Iām talking it up a bit too much though, donāt want to create hard to meet expectations for anyone
Yeah, probably not the best idea for either site. I wasnāt really sure how much it should even be mentioned really. However Iād like to take a note from the Bible, and refer you to Matthew 7:7http://bible.cc/matthew/7-7.htm
this year I also cut an almost uncut version of A minute to pray a second to die.
I used the German TV version of the film, the french version and the MGM version.
The movie running time of my version is now about 126 minutes and 20 seconds.
The end credits are not complete and end suddenly. So my question: How long do the end credits run on the japapanes version?
I also suggest that at the beginning of the film is missing part of the scene when Mc Cord and Fred where ambushed by the bounty hunters in the ruin. This scene ends in my version when Mc Cord
fake shots with his pistol on the bandit and walks away. Then you can see the next scene when Mc Cord and Fred sits on the ground/sleep. So my question: Is the scene with the bounty hunters longer or is there a third scene between?
My last question: Is there a scene existing where you can see the killing of Fred by the two bounty hunters?
