I Just Bought … (the SW Shopping Diary)

I have to admit, it was curiosity that drove my purchase. I’ve seen a majority of the Karl May based films so I wanted to check out what they were doing on the other side of the wall and I fully expect to find the propaganda in the films amusing. I just read that somewhere else about the aspect ratio but, as in the case with many Euro-Westerns, sometimes you have to watch what is available.

I have that set and have quite enjoyed the films.
I never really saw too much overt socialist content but then I’m a lifetime leftie so maybe less sensitive to it. The main thrust I saw was the good guys are the Indians and the bad guys are the land grabbing white men which I suppose is an anti-imperialist stance but then the soviets were good at talking the anti-imperialist talk while building an empire that covered half of Europe. :wink:

Just arrived. Can’t wait to throw my Bandidos DVD out the window like a fuckin’ grenade.

can you check the spine artwork, reportedly there’s something wrong with these

What website did you order from?

Yes mine has the printing error, I checked as soon as I opened it. Gave me a good chuckle.

Amazon. It was actually meant to arrive yesterday but they lied.

It has the same issue on the reverse slipcovers, just with the other Pecos image instead

I wonder if they’ll do a replacement program like they do with faulty discs

Doesn’t really bother me. Kinda like when the German Black Jack blu-ray said DANGO instead of DJANGO.

Absolutely. :+1: As long as they’re not all the same film when I stick them on, I couldn’t care less. They’re rare and collectible now! Maybe. Or not.
