Thereās also Mill Creek box that has got the same print as WE
And the St. Clair Vision box has a widescreen copy without the English title card, not sure if there are any other differences
I didnāt like parts of the music as well. There are some funny saloon piano music parts. Same shit as in Bad Manās Riverā¦
It doesnāt really match the movie, for GD is a rather serious flick.
The main theme is not bad but some of the other music is not so good like you say.
God dang. I just cannot get this one. It has a reallygood beginning but then with the ho down chase scene and uneven focus from stagecoach to Vermeer and so on, it really loses momentum. And that talk from the Saxons about talking Washington DC by stomr! Give me a break. And the White House?! Thats what Acombar said and we know whathappened to him. Just to unrealisitc in the thought process.
[quote=āCol. Douglas Mortimer, post:32, topic:199ā]Good movie. Only thing wrong with this film is that the relationship between Phillip and Adamās ex fiance could have been developed better. They hardly said a word to each other the whole movie, yet at the end they were kissing. That was wierd.
Also, does anybody know why Philliip shot off Cleefās hat during the final duel? Was it throw off the 3 brothers since they were all planning on shooting at the same time?[/quote][quote=āCol. Douglas Mortimer, post:35, topic:199ā]He didnāt catch it with his teeth. He had it in his mouth the whole time. Phillip shot a blank. That was another wierd part of the movie. The girl claims that she doesnāt think Phillip is a murderer because he doesnāt look like one. But didnāt she just witness phillip attempt to shoot Van Cleef?
Perhaps she was just smittened by blind love. In a way this movie sends out the wrong message. That murderers have to ālookā like murderers in order to be one.
You guys ever heard of Lombrosoās āAtavistic Criminalā?[/quote]
Just quoting my posts from a couple years ago when first joined the forum and the Grand duel was one of the first SW"s I ever saw.
One thing I didnāt mention although it is extraordinarily spectacular and unique in SW history:
Horst Frank as old Saxon wears the most unbelievable beard ever seen in a SW!!!

LOL thanks for the info I didnāt even realize that was him!
I really liked this one. It does have two different styles to it but I like it - LVC is solid in it and the Saxon clan are a great bunch of creeps.
Then take another careful look at the black and white retro-scenes. Itās worth it!!!
Yea I think I noticed that as well. Itās pretty goofy.
They should have played the silly saloon music in that scene 
Has anyone on the forum ever managed to see a complete version of this?
I was hopeful the new UK release would come through but not only is it listed at only just over 89min, it has been further cut to remove a horsefall 
I wonder if there have ever been a longer English version than what is on the Wild East disc?
I have a German version which is almost 5Ā½ minutes longer than the WE disc, but the WE disc has about 20 seconds of footage that is not present in the German version. Plus theres maybe one or two places where a few seconds of footage are used at different times.
I donāt know if the German TV version (shown several times in Germany) is complete or not, as I only own the original Toppic VHS release.
No, there are about 2 min missing to the Italian.
A bed scene, which is missing, and the closing credits run longer.
Donāt want to beat a dead horse but I honestly couldnātgive a shit if there was an extended version. Itās poorly made enough. Quite possibly beyond repair. Good opening but downhill from there. Thatās what happens when you mix Leone Stylization and spaghetti action
Cāmon korano, itās still a good movie. Surely a top 40 flick for me.
But not for me, 
Maybe Iām just glad to see LvC in a SWā¦ Iāve just seen GD once. Back then I regarded it better than Beyond the Law.
Seems like it`s time for a double featureā¦
Should be merged with [url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/forum/index.php/topic,199.0.html[/url] where āIl Grande Duelloā should be added to the topic title to make it easier to find.
