Hmm, as I said it was some 20 years ago.
But I have checked 2 books which are describing the film, and I couldnât spot any similarities between the films. Neither for the plot nor for the character of the leads.
Nethier Silience nor murrphy will shot first
or maybe its the klaus charecter that doesnât shot first, cant remember but I watched them both close together and they felt like the same movie⌠granted before you all tell me what an idiot I am, the scripts and scenes are different, it the character that is the same. and yes I know know there is nothing new under the sun
I bought the italian DVD by Medusa Entertainment in Rome.

ALTERNATIVE ENDING
Beautiful picture quality.
Thanks for the screenshots !
But one question: You write of two alternative endings.
How are these ends. Or do you mean the normal end and the known alternate ending (Happy End).
Ending Nr.1 is the âhappy endingâ.
Ending Nr.2: A bounty killer shoots at Silenzios hands, then Kinski and the bounty hunters leave (without killing anybody)âŚdoesnât make any sense to meâŚ

Iâve heard of âHappy Endingâ, but neve of No. 2. It sounds intriging - are both endings in Italian audio with (optional) English subtitles?
Both endings have Italian Audio and (optional) Italian subtitles. No english language options.
Looks really good!
I have the Italian audio on the French disc (has no Italian subs, though, only French)
Kinski has been given a rather high, shrill voice. Suits the character fine, but isnât like Kinskiâs own voice.
Seems like Medusa used the same master as the French. Watch the second screenshot, with the people standing in the snow. I donât know what has caused this effect (looks like a net in front of the camera), but itâs the same on the French disc, and it appears only in the first minutes of the movie. The AR also looks the same, 1,85:1
This effect also appears on the german disc by KinoweltâŚ
They probably used some kind of effect lense to get some foggy feel to the picture but it doesnât look that good. It has always annoyed me a bit.
Thanks for the screens dicfish. That other ending sounds like its just a cut version of the unhappy ending. Is it?
Aside from a few different camera angles itâs just a cut version of the original ending.
Would be interesting to hear about the background to this shorter happy ending 
The ending of the trailer has Silence talking! Happy ever after ending ???
That weird pattern effect is on the latest Japanese Imagica release and the recent UK Digital Classics release (excellent quality) so as Bill san Antonio says it must have been filmed like that.
I remember, but I donât remember it exactly nor where I have read it, that there was something wrong with the lens of the camera.
They probably put some sort of gel on it because of the freeze, which led to the picture damage. As far as I remember it is therefore on the original negative.
Actually now that you mention it Stanton that rings a bell with me too. Also this would explain why some outdoor scenes in the movie look like you are watching them through a slightly dirty window (dirt doesnât move when the camera does).

Thank you for the information! Every time I see the film I ask my self why is this âdirty curtainâ on the screen
Friend of mine burned me a DVR of thisâŚI havenât yet seen it, so Iâm pretty excited! Iâll give you guys a rundown when I do.
