It would have been fun if it had had original Lee Van Cleefâs voice⌠:â( Canât stand this shitty dubbing.
I like this one also. Come on guys, give LVCâs cheesier efforts some love
The only thing wrong with Godâs Gun is that Richard Boone sounds like Paul Lynde at times. Besides Godâs Gun was one the very first Spaghettiâs I was introduced to.
The only LVC western I havenât liked was Kid Vengeance, which I hated. It is the worst spaghetti Iâve ever tasted.
Kid Vengeance is the worst of the lot out of the ones mentioned for me.
And here I was thinking that I was an anomaly for despising Kid Vengeance.
weeel, may not be fightinâ words, but I remember finding a few things to like about it.
Well above my bottom 20.
grand duel blue underground 94 minutes, is the original uncut finaly??
The longest version runs 100 minutes, so itâs still slightly cut. But itâs nice that blue underground is releasing itâŚ
10K Bullets has a review for the Blue Underground release, Amigos.

I have watched this 5-6 years before and the only thing I remember is that I tried with patience to watch it all.
A bad time for Lee in my opinion but I understand that other members like it.I donât think I can give it a second chance.
Re visited this one tonight via the Mill Creek Blu Ray. Nice print have to say. More even in style the film this time around I thought. The title of âThe Big Showdownâ comes up on the Mill Creek print, and is the title I most associate with the film as used to have an old vhs with this title years ago. Never noticed before that the beast (Salvatore Baccaro) from the video nasty âThe Beast In Heatâ has a small role in this. Excellent use of flashbacks in the film, and this is still my favourite Van Cleef western of the 70âs.[size=2][/size]

damn!!! i want the uncut version!! :o
I have more of an interest to listen to the soundtrack than to watch the film, I have to sayâŚ
Can anyone give some info on the quality of the Blue Underground DVD vs the Mill Creek Blu Ray? This review ([url]Examiner is back - Examiner.com) says âBlue Underground edition which serves as the best showing of the film yet on home videoâ. Does the DVD really look better than the Blu ray? I know there were some audio sync issues with the Blu Ray which are probably fixed now but Iâd be surprised if the DVD looks better.
Also I was wondering if the DVD and Blu ray are the same length or if anything is missing from either.
Thanks! I think Iâm gonna stick with the Mill Creek Blu Ray.
I finally watched The Grand Duel a couple of weeks ago, and it was a beauty. A couple of less-than-necessary tit-shots aside it really felt nothing like many of the 70âs spags Iâve seen, felt much more traditional. When Lee Van Cleef is doing his Mortimer thing heâs pretty unstoppable, and itâs what gravitates me I think towards films like this, Death Rides a Horse, Day of Anger and obviously For a Few Dollars More. Peter OâBrien was enjoyable enough in a somewhat acrobatic role and Horst Frank almost steals the show as David, the villainous âNewâ patriarch of the nasty old Saxon family (NOTE: Oh! He played the âOldâ patriarch in the flashback scenes too! Didnât realise that). Suitably slimy-yet-dangerous. But: what was up with the younger Saxon brotherâs face? The foppish, gay one in the white gloves (he was bloody good too, btw)? Did he just have bad skin or was he supposed to be exhibiting signs of the plague, or some sort of buckshot scar or something?
In this one we have entire tribe of timid hippies blown to pieces by man (men) in white suits. Which brings me to important question: was there ever a gay character in a spaghetti western that wasnât sadistic maniac?
(later we can discuss how many SWs have naked kids appearing in them 
)
Just finished this and loved but 2 scenes confused me.
When Lee Van Cleef is supposedly âshotâ and has a bullet in his mouth, but earlier heâs talking like he already has the bullet in his mouth. He put a blank in the gun? or he caught the bullet?
And the other thing, whats with the shoe clapping, when Adam Saxon kills the old man?
