Good afternoon amigos, I ordered A Fistful of Dollars (Arrow 4k UHD) again from another seller on Amazon. Customer services assured me this was the 4K UHD version and it wasn’t so they collected this yesterday under a return.
(See picture below)
I’ve ordered it again from HMVs eBay store and I finally have the correct version in hand now! I’ll crack it open and have a viewing later. I’ve got the Kino Blu-ray versions of all 3 movies and haven’t even watched them yet.
Cool you’ve already got your copy of FAFDM from HMV. My preorder from Amazon UK is arriving on 1 June!
Same here…got my copy today.
As with their excellent release ‘Fistful of Dollars’, ‘Arrow’ appears to have once again delivered the goods…with hours of extras, audio commentaries, plus exceptional picture and audio quality on the standard BD. The opening titles are a bit iffy, but everything then picks up in terms of clarity.
Of course, one of the gripes from fans (which I can understand), is that no Italian audio track is included.
If you bought the Italian BD (see below) a few years ago, you can listen to the original Italian language, but there are no English subtitles. If you know the lines of dialogue inside out, then this should not be a problem…
Roll on June, and the release of ‘GBU’…
I’ve just watched one extra so far…Alex Cox re-discovering the ‘FAFDM’ locations. Alex is passionate, but breathless for most of the doc…I can’t blame him… I was fu…ed when I last went there, in 2009, running around with a camera in 35 degree temperatures…
Alex also makes a mistake regarding one of the locations, but corrects himself. All in all, a beautiful extra, presented by a gentleman who loves the genre…
I’ve just started listening to the Tim Lucas AC…if it’s as good as it was for ‘Fistful’, I’ll be more than happy…
I’m looking forward to discovering the other treasures hidden in the latest ‘Dollars’ BD release…
Afterthought:
I need to dig out my Joe Millard paperback of ‘FAFDM’, to see how it differs from the film…I’ve not read it for years now.
Is this actually the uncut version with the 25s of Indio stopping the fight put back in and also Indio’s proper giggle at the end of the prison break sequence among other things?
I used to own Millard’s book but stupidly got rid of it. IIRC it follows the film very closely but I think it removes the more stylistic elements and the gunfights become very bland and dealt with in a sentence or two.
I assume its a rights issue preventing the release of the Italian soundtracks (both this and TGTBTU made by PEA). TGTBTU Italian version is on You Tube - I watched a little of it and the soundtrack background noises are noticeably different in the scene between Angel Eyes and Stevens.
There was a fella on the BR.com forums I need to quote on this… Let me dig it up
My most recent purchases have been
Death Rides a Horse (Blu-ray)
and some Koch Media releases
Train for Durango (Steffen rules!))
Django The Last Killer
My Arrow blu ray of Keoma arrived today, excited to give it a rewatch. If only there was alternate soundtrack available without the vocals…
Today arrived the two Trinity movies from german label retrogold63:
The cover is an extravagant artwork (padded mediabook). The edition has 250 copies.
maybe you can help me fix the description/specs for both releases in the database, it is currently copied together from all the confusing and contradictory Facebook stuff the label has published over the last few months… we need to simplify: versions, video, audio, subtitles, runtimes, extras
Of course.
I’ll try to do it at the weekend!
jealous!
Arrow continues to let their direct customers come second so mine wasn’t sent until today 
Amazon apparently will be in 2 weeks here
One more try with this one, a 7/10 favorite - last time the order payment was cancelled after some time.
The payment was accepted so far today…
Italian audio is very much OK I think nowadays.
