Some random thoughts from watching the new release:
-
Still seems a shame thereās no interviews in the extras.
-
Think I prefer the colours in the alternate intro to the one they used.
-
Some scenes can be incredibly bright white like when theyāre outside in the village early on.
-
I like the little character moment of Cuchillo putting the coin back after winning the bet, makes him quite simpatico early on. Also love the way he quietly mumbles excuses whenever heās caught or arrested lol.
-
Linda Veras is pretty Not too sure about that english dub they gave her thoughā¦
-
There really are a lot of charactersā¦ and was John Ireland being paid by the minute lol? He shows up once then is done! Also Jose Torres is nearly 100 now and still seems to be appearing in occasional films; thatās pretty amazing.
In the end it was pretty much an enjoyable 2 hour adventure that flew by, makes me curious what they ended up cutting out for the theatrical release. Iām also kind of amazed they still made (or hadnāt lost?) an English dub for the full uncut movie but not for Gundown?
I guess the only downside is Milianās humming of the theme is now stuck in my head.
