Germany:
Colosseo Film will release BLACK JACK on blu ray in January 2019
New 4K Scan from negative.
Thatās great. Hopefully theyāll follow that up with El Puro next.
Thatās quite unexpected, great news.
Shortly before the bank robbery Billy - played by the fight arranger Fredy Unger - gets a room (number seven, of course) using the aliasā¦ George Harrison!
I support your request: new 4K scan from the original 120 minutes negative.
I just watched the Collosseo Bluray with Black Jack for the first time, and it was probably slightly better than my expectations.
It is not so extremely horrible, grim, dark etc as I had expected. It is a well staged revenge story and tragedy that reminds me a bit of both Cemetery Without Crosses and especially of Death Sentence, one of the revenge episodes during a poker game, some of the music is very similar in spite of different composers. The music was mostly not so SW-like but not annoying.
The Israeli outdoor scenes were good, but I assume some scenes with a lot of green vegatation were from Italy (not included on the IMDb web site).
I like Robert Woods from the two Pecos movies and his character had to die as well as the main character in Cemetery Without Crosses, because both had commited a serious crime. So these SWs are also typical of the classic Hollywood code
So I donāt find this SW especially extreme.
I think my āverdictā in the future will be a weak 7 out of 10 but not reaching my Top 20, if not a solid 6/10.
Just revisited this masterpiece through the amazing Colosseo release and had to question myself how this is not in my 20. I think I swapped it out for El Puro at some pointā¦ Might have felt that E.P was gonna be my main Robert Woods contender for the list but now Iām puzzledā¦ An equally nice BluRay of E.P would make the choice easier perhaps. Please Koch or Arrow - Make that happenā¦
Iām ashamed to say that I have never heard of this film. Could you fill me in on it and why you think it is a masterpiece?
- It has a ghost town
- Itās very violent
- Itās very bleak
- It has a catchy theme tune
- Robert Woods is fantastic
Iām sold on it Dean!!
Ghost Towns are my thing, it worked in Django, Keoma and many others.
They really resonate with me.
California, Four of the Apocalypse, Cemetery without Crosses to name a few more.
Not seen California but other wise I concur.
Just watched Black Jack, great film, so entertaining!! Is there a sequel?
No, but that would be cool.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tragic that. Robert Woods should have had a a few Black Jackās.
Very cool. If Black Jack didnāt deserve a sequel then he should have a had a comic book!!
Bit tricky making a sequel when he dies in the end ?
Opps! I guess beer and spaghetti westerns donāt mix! To beer honest I was drowsy at the torture bit. Then the credits rolled. So I plan on watching it from that point again.
Caught again, your patheticā¦Sequel coming up soon!!!
