That’s also not a rare one. DVD-Rs with English audio are easy to get.
Hows about the William Shatner western White Comanche, has anyone ever seen a good print of it? Thats got to be a rare one, if it’s even out there.

Filmed in Panoramico, which is most likely 1,66:1. So even if it is not open matte it is very close to the original aspect ratio.
They sell White Comanche all over in the U.S. It’s even sold in the thrift stores and is not rare at all.
I’ve got it on several compilation dvds but they all look and sound like shit. I’ve never seen a good quality version of the movie so I’ve only watched like the first 5 minutes. Would like to see a good print. Capt. Kirk in SW. Lol :

No one else has, either…because there isn’t one! 
I know what you are saying, though, amigo. And I understand.
However, in my humble opinion, WHITE COMANCHE is probably one of the worst Spaghetti Westerns ever made. It really doesn’t have much of an Italian Western feel to save it, either. A nice print wouldn’t help improve it one bit.
You know, sometimes us old geezers that have been involved in the realm of Spaghetti Western fandom for a long, long time need to step back and recognize that some folks that are just getting into these movies may not know all the good sources for some of these films.
KILL JOHNNY RINGO is available from just about every “Gray Market” seller out there (like ETC Video, etc.).
Search the ol’ internet and you are likely to be surprised at just what films are available out there.
Now, an uncut…quality print of RAMON THE MEXICAN…that is one of the rarest of the rare in my book!
Haven’t located one of those, yet…and I have been looking for about 10 years, now.
Ramon the Mexican, sounds like a good one.
But I think the Surf Video copy is uncut, albeit in horrible quality. It runs 89 min in Pal (= 93 min in cinema).
And there are better prints without english audio, but I don’t know about their runtime. So a Fan Edit is possible.
Yes, the Surf Video copy is supposedly uncut…but, it is as you said HORRIBLE quality. And here in the States the only way it shows up is in an extremely poor PAL to NTSC conversion that makes it entirely unwatchable.
I used to have a decent VHS copy of this film in Italian (recorded from TV, if I recall correctly); but, the tape was destroyed by a bad VCR many years ago. Haven’t been able to find that version ever since.
At any rate…RAMON THE MEXICAN is still one I wish I could find a watchable copy of!!
Up to now, are these five SWs and the Eurowestern directed by José Luis Madrid Wer kennt Johnny R.?/La balada de Johnny Ringo (1966) really unavailable in any language?
Vamos a matar Sartana (1971) Mario Pinzauti
Crisantemi per un branco di carogne/Chrysanthemums for a Bunch of Swine (1968) Sergio Pastore
Sette pistole per El Gringo/Rio Maldito (1966) Juan Xiol
Un dollaro di fuoco/Un dolar de fuego (1966) Nick Nostro
I fantasmi di Omah-Ri (1971, never released theatrically) Amasi Damiani
Several times on German TV a few years ago. It is mainly a German western and so Wer kennt Johnny R.? is the original title.
I have: 1. Un dollaro di fuoco/Un dolar de fuego (One Dollar of Fire) in French
2. Sette pistole per El Gringo/Rio Maldito - in Spanish/Italian
and: 3. Wer kennt Johnny R.?/La balada de Johnny Ringo in Gernman and the Spanish DVD.
There is a great, I think Spanish or Italian TV Version avaiable in 2,35:1, and runtime is 93 minutes, I think I’ve reed, thats the runtime.
I don’t have this Version, but here are Screenshots:

And the Link, where I have this Screenshots is a Downloadlink, I think. But I#m not sure. I do not know if I should post the link here because I do not know if the site is legal or illigal. If anyone wants the Link, than simply a PN on me.
And a french Version is also avaiable:
Now I have an OK version of this one. It’s maybe a fandub from an Italian VHS in 2,35:1 with OK VHS Quality. Not perfect but much better than the surf video vhs.
Runtime is around 87 minutes in PAL.

I have a rather shitty looking print of Ramon the Mexican, but i watched it anyway. It was a bad movie, nothing to recommend here.
“I fantasmi di Omah-Ri” seems unavailable anywhere. Only some daily shots are knwn to exist. Nobody has seen the full movie and even the director, Amasi Damiani, isn’t clear about it
"Una forca per un bastardo" is another rare movie…according to the director, Amasi Damiani as usual, there were only 5 copies printed: 3 went to Germany and never came back and the remaining 2 are lost. It is said that a tv copy was screened once in the early 80’s
"Tara Poki" is available in italian language on an ultra rare vhs made in Australia in the early 80…but it’s a cut version, apparentely
"Crisantemi per un branco di carogne" is another impossible to find SW…nobody has seen it since its theatrical release
there are a lot more…I am just trying to remember those titles that nobody has seen even in Italy
There is a German VHS, see here
yes, I know…probably it comes from those 3 copies sent to UFA laboratories at the time and never returned back. In Italy nobody has seen it except Ettore Manni who immediately phoned the director Damiani to turn on the tv (friom an interview with the director Amasi Damiani)…it was at the beginning of the 80’s…since then nobody has seen it anymore, at least on italian tv’s.
This vhs should be the only version available nowadays of the movie assuming that the italian version went lost. It was supposed to be 1 copy left of the original italian printing in Italy but neither the director knows where is it…
And what about Porno erotico western? Has anyone seen it?
