It seems that the new German Blu of FaFDM presents the film for the first time on DVD or Blu completely uncut:
I thought the slightly extended beating scene had been released before on DVD?
No, only nearly. The Italian DVD had still 1 sec missing. Bloody nearly ā¦
a lot of it had been reinstated on the German Paramount discs, but as alwaysā¦ there is always more
But the Paramount DVD and the MGM DVD had apart from the beating scene 4 additional short cuts.
:
I canāt even begin to imagine why they didnāt have the extra second inā¦
Iām not an expect, but having seen screen caps from various releases with differing colour tones, do you think this release is accurate to the original cinema release?
I have no idea how the original colors could have been, and I often ask myself how even an āexpertā can know how they looked back then. I wouldnāt even trust the original DoP for such a question for a film of that age.
I assume the truth is what one feels what the truth should be.
I only know (or assume that I know) that the theatrical version of OuTW, which I have seen at least 15 times, has very different brown tones than the Paramount or the Mondo Home DVD. Which both look very different.
in which respect? one thing to look for is black levels. are blacks really black or almost blueish gray? also, watch for things that are supposed to be green, like leaves of a tree, or grassā¦ and the other thing is watch for whites and redsā¦
It simply has a different color palette as far as I remember it. Looks much more brownish.
My old VHS copy form a TV broadcast (taken form a German 35 mm copy) seems to have this colors.
I donāt know how they are supposed to look but personally I think I prefer the look of the Italian discs of Leone movies (and some others) over the ones by MGM (or Paramount).
And yeah Stanton, I wouldnāt trust the DPs either anymoreā¦ or directors (damn you Cameronā¦).
So anyways which do you trust more, the Italian companies or the big ones like MGM. 
These kind of differences seem to be quite common:
Top Mondo, Bottom Paramount
Top France, middle Italy (and pretty much everything else I think), bottom Paramount Germany
Top Italy, bottom MGM
There are from Blu-Rays, Top RHV Italy, bottom MGM
For OuTW I prefer the Paramount to the Mondo Home.
I have often read that the Mondo Home should have better colors, but I really donāt like its colors. Especially the flesh tones look wrongā¦
But Paramount is just soā¦ normal. 
Dull. 
I think the Blu-Ray is different from both the DVDs though? But is it correctā¦
About the flesh tonesā¦ are they supposed to look right? How easily was color and such manipulated back in those days, I have no idea. Nowadays everything is filtered with a few buttons and just because something look right doesnāt mean it is the way the director or whoever wants it to be. Or does anything actually look real anymoreā¦ everything is now teal, even old movies.
Whats better, the BU Django or Argent Django?
From everything I have read and seen, frame captures-wise, it looks like Blue Undergroundās is superior compared to the Argentās release.
Blue Underground by far, but neither is actually great.
Iāve looked at screen capture comparisons and it looks like there was some DNR done to the Argent release because thereās far less grain. Is this true? Howās the Nero interview on the Argent?
Wanted is coming out on Blu in Italy. Italian language but apparently will have English subtitles.
Out in May (or is it August?, Iām not sure what way round they have it in Italy) 08/05/2013

Cheers Seb, same as here then, is it the same around Europe? Something Iāve not really thought about till now, I only know that the States is definitely the other way round.
honestly I think there is no way to generalize. but the page said it will be available shortly, and it wouldnt be listed if it was in augustā¦
