just picked this up tonight… wasn’t expecting a lot, considering 5 of the 10 movies in this set are not even westerns…
but there are a few rarer titles, which were mentioned in a previous thread here…
what i’m wondering is, is if Viva Django is cut at all
i currently own the Denmark release of Viva Django and it runs at 1 hour 28 mins.
Viva Django on this US release runs 1 hour 27 mins… the Denmark release is PAL, so it as I understand it, the US release should have a shorter runtime than a PAL release. If its only shorter by a minute, I’m guessing its either the same, or includes more footage. I know the German release is completely uncut, but I’m not sure of its runtime at the moment… anyone else have this release or possibly able to help shed some light on if this new US release is cut?
The picture is actually pretty decent. The colors are quite a bit more vibrant than the Denmark disc… however, the audio is screwed… the audio comes out of the right channel ONLY for Viva Django… ugghhh… enough to make me want to rip it off, correct the audio and burn my own disc for it.
the other westerns i bought this release for are absolute crap in terms of quality, but we’ve all learned to deal with that by now…
all in all, a pretty shoddy release… but at least i have a couple more spaghettis i did not previously own…
And as a side… this is NOT a Grindhouse Releasing release… its just some shoddy company trying to cash in on the Grindhouse name…
