Thatās it so far I think
It looks like we will have to pay an extra ā¬3 per DVD package from the UK or US now. I understand taxing all the Temu junk, but itās not like you can just find a special edition spaghetti western where ever you want⦠maybe some local Amazonās might be able to get around this if they are bringing in bulk and selling onwards.
This week I bought Radianceās Confessions of A Police Captain via Amazon.ie for example.
79 Hey Amigo, Youāre Dead/Hey Amigo ! A Toast To Your Death/Killer Amigo (Paolo Bianchini) music Carlo Savina 1970
80 Django Shoots first (Alberto De Martino) 1966
81 If You want to Liveā¦Shoot (Sergio Garrone) 1968
82 The Hills Run Red (Carlo Lizzani) Ennio Moricone 1966
Not bad, not bad at all, but near the bottom of my 6/10 rated SWs.
I bid 500 Euro for an uncut Bluray, no extras needed, either Italian original with ,English subtitles or totally English/American but still uncut.
x22 Blood River/Ten White Men and One Little Indian (Gianfranco Baldanello) music Piero Umiliani 1974
what are you talking about
Kino may also bring a 4K of this so⦠Caution
Sounds exciting before I realised I misunderstoodā¦
My wish with Rosalba Neri et al should be a best seller with the right PRā¦
The cover looks fantastic but I hope it has a reversible cover ![]()
I am on team āoriginal poster artā. this one does look fantastic, but the original poster art would still be preferrable in my opinion
The German poster designed by Hans-Georg Kredewahn is also available in a very attractive A0 format. Unfortunately, itās probably not very suitable for a standard portrait-oriented cover.
Italian friends please pre-order
How does it compare to the StudioCanal edition?

Picture Quality: Both use the same 4K restoration from the original camera negative, so the image is essentially identical
Well just because the same restoratiion is used doesnāt necessarily mean the image is the same, labels such as Arrow are know to sometimes put their own finishing touches on material received from the rights holder (e.g. color correction). But yeah I would assume itās quite similar. As for the extras etc it will come down to what folks deem more valuable for their money
Looks like Arrow has done a bit of extra colour grading for their 4K of Red Sun. Looks a lot less drab!
@Max Yep, Arrow have done it again. Much better color grade compared to the Studio Canal 4K/Blu. ![]()
Now Iām wondering which of the two the German release is closer to ![]()
