A blu-ray version would be nice though!
Explosive Media will release one in Germany. Iām sure it will have English audio
I wonāt buy it.
I changed my mind.
Iāve always liked DEATH RIDES A HORSE, but now I like it more than I used to when I voted on it.
I want to change my vote.
I want to vote one star higher up.
How do I do that?
You canāt unless the topic starter changes the options of the poll. Sonofsven was last active 6 years ago though. Maybe admins can do it?
Maybe Seb can.
I know I sure as hell canāt.
Sebās the only one who can.
i voted the movie years ago 5 stars, now i want to give it 4 and maybe 3
Whoās the foreman around here?

Thought this one was top notch, with the only thing keeping it from a ā5ā rating is John Phillip Law. The opening scenes where his father is killed and his mom and sister raped and murdered was not easy to watch (particularly knowing that home invasions like that actually happen) and the scene after Ryan rescues Bill where the little boy is sitting under the wagon, in shock and near tears, as his home burns was heartbreaking. The running gunfight in the dust storm was taut and made it believable that two men could take out so many armed bad guys. The final scene where Ryan shows Bill that he didnāt load his pistol and was willing to die rather than kill his young friend was great.
Despite not being the best actor in the world, Law does a decent job - heās just over shadowed by several really good performers, particularly Lee Van Cleef who really owns this movie. Van Cleefās Ryan is calculating, cunning, deadly but shows a level of humanity that a lot of characters in SWs donāt show - thereās more to him than simple greed or vengeance.
Part of me hopes that some of the men from the village got away at the end - I thought their failure to keep the bad guys from over running the village again made for an interesting contrast with ending of The Magnificent Seven.
I saw this on Blu ray yesterday
was a nice movie also better than day of anger.
Much better
I concur.
DAY OF ANGER is good in its own right, but itās certainly no DEATH RIDES A HORSE.
Been a very long time since I saw this last and wasnāt sure if it would stack up to my memories of it. In fact, it exceeded them. Iād forgotten how solid a film this is. And a perfect example, if one were needed, as to the power of a great music score. Still very much a Top 20 Spag for me.
Now Iām not sure whether itās your mind thatās going or mine, and I know a few or more beers were involved, but didnāt we watch this on the big screen less than a year ago at the Luton Spaghetti Cinema weekend. I could have sworn it was you that held my hand in the stormy-scary bitsā¦ ;D
Not guilty your honour. I slipped out to the bar during this one.
Fuck! I mustāve been holding Yodās hand then. 
How shocking 
.
I gave it 4 stars. My first impression of DRAH wasā¦āwhy the Hell hadnāt I heard of this awesome film until now??ā Everyone around the globe knows the Leone Trilogy, but fewer have heard of or seen DRAH. I think that the grainy film quality and the distorted soundtrack have held this film back a bitā¦as far as appealing to a wider audience. Iād easily include it in my top 5 SWās though.
Great film. One of the my favorite spaghetti westerns. ;D
