Yes the “comedy version” is a) not as long as the uncut version and b) featuring a funny redub. There is no English equivalent to it. This is mostly for German nostalgics who grew up with this one on television. The dubbing actors do have a cult following and this stuff can be rather funny for 80s style humor 
Got my Koch Media blu-ray of the Guiliano Gemma and Mario Adorf flik Amigos yesterday, less than £12 through Amazon… Might not reach the heights of Death Rides a Horse, but Petroni’s direction is excellent… Really enjoyed it

Happy Birthday!!! Happy spaghetti shopping as well
Thanks for the information.
Another step closer to completing the Wild East collection. Bought it in a lot of six spaghetti westerns which included a couple of other Wild East I have, that I will either trade or sell, and the Japanese release of The Price of Power.

Hey all, haven’t been here for a while but I’ve bought these since then.
Edit: I forgot I bought this one as well. Be good to give it another go through what is hopefully a good print.

I’d always been jealous that these were only available in the US but it turns out I’m stupid because I had no idea they were region free. Got both for £26 + £2.40 shipping from the arrow US site (I guess they still ship from the UK even for the US site?). Really looking forward to checking out the Italian track and Nero interview on Django.

Also picked up this as it had a huge price drop on Amazon:

Found at a yard sale today for 25 cents. Being that I collect every spag title I can find, I am actually shocked that it has taken me this long to add this one. Maybe I was just waiting for what I thought was the appropriate price. Regardless, I can now say that my Lee Van Cleef/Leif Garrett collection is now complete.

And the last thing I heard is that it isn’t a spaghetti western at all but an American-Israeli co-production.

Really? I was just going by the SWDB site which lists it as Italy/Israel and Kevin Grant’s Any Gun Can Play which lists it as Italy/Israel/U.S. Even if it isn’t, I don’t think the quarter that I spent will kill me and it still completes my Lee Van Cleef/Leif Garrett collection, so I have that going for me.

Have you ever considered in investing in a Region Free/Multi-Region Blu Ray player amico? I know not everyone believes in them, and it really does depend on your taste in genres, but I’ve always felt serious film buffs should consider getting one as there are so many films only available in certain areas and are often A or B locked. I’ve never regretted investing in them as I was finally able to get the German editions of so many good SWs, the Arrow UK editions of Bava’s films before they went out of print, and so many other items. from the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and even Japan. The choice is totally up to you in the end, but I do hope you do consider it.

Yeah definitely. The main thing thats stopped me is that I’m still a student so I don’t have a tonne of expendable income, so I would much rather buy blu-rays that I want than invest £150 in a region-free player. I’ve always said I’ll invest in a 4K region free player if we ever end up getting a 4K TV. Me and my dad keep trying to hint at my mum that we should upgrade but that isn’t exactly a priority . I do own a PS3 and I have jailbroken it to play all regions although its fans are very loud so I’ve only used it once for the standard blu from the Kino GBU 4K. Not to mention, it would astronomically expand the amount of blu rays I would want to buy which would completely suck dry my bank account - especially with the extra shipping fees and such for US releases. Between the UK companies of Arrow, 88 Films and Eureka - I have basically all I want to fit my preference of films. Especially now with all these awesome kung-fu, Italian and cult films that are getting released. Not to mention that Germany, who release loads of spaghetti and eurocrimes, are region B so I have access to them too. I only got into collecting around a year or two ago so there’s still lots of old releases I’d like to get too. And finally I also torrent a lot of films that are either too hard to find for a good price on blu-ray or if I’m not sure whether I would like the film enough to justify a blu-ray purchase.

Actually, it’s an Italian-Israeli co-production directed and co-written by Frank Kramer (Gianfranco Parolini), of “Sabata”, “Adios, Sabata” (actually, "Indio Black, I Say To You, You Are A Great Son Of A…), and “The Return of Sabata”. Speaking of this last title, what do you gentlemen think of its inclusion in the Medved Brothers’ classic 1978 book, “The Fifty Worst Films Of All Time…And How They Got That Way”? Does anyone know how the film’s star, Lee Van Cleef, regarded it–and the Medveds’ inclusion in their comic work?
If there is one SW which must be watched in Italian, this is it.
But I’m guessing other countries didn’t butcher the dialogue as badly as the English dub.

I prefer to watch Spags in English if possible cause I think it usually fits better and the dubs are usually well done. But Nero’s voice in the English track for Django is…very poor.

Funny enough, I tend to prefer the Italian language original cause I think most of the English dubs feel like phone ins, that the voice actors were just doing the bare minimum to get a paycheck. The Italian language I think fits the script and director’s original intent as well, the English dub losing a little something in translation.
