Would explain why Arrow couldnāt get the rights to Django here wouldnāt it.
Hopefully a good remastering of all 3 titles (Django, Keoma and Bullet for the General). The last one of those in particular would be very welcome here.
Iāve just decided to buy the Blackjack Blu and while I know my experience with it wonāt clear up the audio issue for good Iāll still let you all know if there is an issue on my player or not.
Yes, I ordered as soon as pre-order was available on Amazonā¦
Will be released in two weeks.

Based on the posts at Blu-ray com it seems the FAFDM disc is once again the cut version. In that case Iād rather just watch the German disc even if it is considerably worse looking.
I wish some other company had gotten the rights for the Leones. Oh well.

Me three. I guess thatās one I can take off the shopping list.
What a bummer
Kino do a fantastic job with horror and silent films, but they are really out of their depth with westerns.

Pedantic nitpicking, perhaps ! LOL
After years of watching the retail VHS pan nā scan version ā¦ dreaming of a widescreen release etc ā¦ Iām bemused with all the quibbling over a few frames missing here or there ā¦ or higher bit rate, colour saturation, grain level and so forth.
None of the technical info regarding the integral version was available during the video cassette age ā¦ You were just damned happy to get to see the film.

True, blissful and dark age at the same time

They probably do good job on some other titles because the materials for those donāt have as much issues as the spaghetti westerns. So when you donāt really care, it is easier to make good releases out of something that doesnāt really require you to careā¦ 
Well, at least with the GBU they tried to fix the issues (but failed). FAFDM they cared enough to make a new scan (good) but thenā¦
Itās justā¦ old, I guess. 
Coarse grain. Looks oversharpened. If Kino did a good job with their new 4K(?) scan (which I assume they did based on the hometheaterforum post) it will be much better than the German disc.
Just like the RHV scan of Fistful is much better than the old MGM master.
The 4K scan of GBU also totally destroys (except for the colors which are shit on bothā¦ ) the old MGM master which already was a little bit worse than the other two films I think.
But like I said, I would still rather watch FAFDM uncut from the German disc instead of the cut (if it indeed is) Kino disc.
Thereās no release date on Amazon anymore. I hope itās not bad news, because Iām looking forward to buying this.

So I guess Iām out of the loop here on FAFDM being cut. What exactly is missing? Iāve always been under the assumption the MGM releases were uncut (the few mili-seconds of boob when Indio pulls the blanket away from LVCās sister, various headshots and other bloody scenes). So what am I missing thatās in the German version?
