Itās a DVD though, not a Blu Ray or HD (now defunct) release 
Well, now I donāt need to fork over $25+ for that image entertainment dvd! ;D
sorry, wrong thread
Wrong thread or notā¦thanks for the heads up! This is great newsā¦one of my favorite Spaghettiās. I never really could justify buying a $30 used copy of the Image DVD so this is great.
Put up an extra announcement, please share

itās gonna be awesome
Whats this italian directors cut of the film? Whats the difference between that and the regular edition?
so this new american release is better than the german release?
I am trying to dig up the info where the differences was, it just a slight difference.
this one looks like it is gonna beat the German release in a few aspects, but I wonder if it is worth switching if you already own itā¦

Probably not.
The new release will feature 2 versions.
The complete Italian version (same as on the German Blu) with subs, and a longer English dubbed version, longer than usual, but not a complete one compared to the Italian one. They found somewhere some more dubbed scenes which werenāt released so far with the English versions. So it will be the known English version + 3 additional scenes.
what I am wondering is if the source of the material is the same for both releases? and if the remastering process for the Grindhouse Releasing version might in any way be superior to what Uli had at his disposalā¦
If they have done it right (and judging from their other releases they will have) it should be better than the Explosive Media disc.
The shorter restored English print from Sony is beautiful (I believe the French disc used it but it suffers from some mild filtering in my opinion) and there is absolutely no contest on which (short Sony print vs longer Explosive Media) looks better. (Unless you prefer the colors on the EM disc, because the difference is big).
The longer Italian version should also be better (but not as good as the short one) if they used the same source as the French did but without filtering. The Italian version on the French disc suffers even more from some filtering than the short version does which is why I would hesitate to recommend one over the other (talking about the French and Explosive Media discs. And the French disc does not have English subs or audio for the long version soā¦).
I donāt know if the French and EM discs had the same source material for the longer version but they both have some problems, just different ones. Like I said, the French appears to be filtered, maybe some DNR maybe something elseā¦ looks a bit too smooth and waxy and whatever (but probably wonāt bother most, Iām just veryā¦ me), but otherwise better if my memory is correct. The EM disc on the other hand looksā¦ old? I mean older scan. Harsh grainā¦? and looks a bit too sharpened (and it might look there is more detail when there arenāt) and edge enhancement is visible.
Has there been any mention on what the language options will be on the longer version on the Grindhouse Releasing release? If the GR discs has only subtitles for that version then I would keep the EM disc as well (well personally Iām keeping it anywaysā¦ 
) for the English audio+subs mix that is available there(?).
Is this disc going to be locked to Region1/A or is it Euro friendly?
from what I have heard it might be region free actually. but if youāre in EU, you can also get the Explosive Media disc, unless youāre after all the extras
this one looks like it is gonna beat the German release in a few aspects, but I wonder if it is worth switching if you already own itā¦<
For one youāll get to actually hear Lee Van Cleef talking and not some German guy 
I wish they wouldāve just put out a single disc for a better price though. I donāt really need DVD and Blu Ray and CD etcā¦
the German release has Italian and English audio tracks as well
I thought the Koch Media DVD didnt have Englishā¦At least it didnt when I saw it at MediaMarkt 
Iāve been out of the loop for a while. I guess there was another release, sorry about that!
both the Koch and the Explosive Media have English audio
The Koch release which is part of the rainbow series (DVD) does not have English audio
I didnt believe u, so I put in the discā¦ and you are right
Wow I didnāt even realize it got releases in the rainbow series by Kockā¦I thought it was just in their Segio Sollima Box Set and that was it. Actually maybe I remember seeing the single versionā¦oh idk ???
