Still waiting for my Mediabook. Pre-ordered and paid in April. Hope I did not get scammed. It was my first order at Platinum Cult.
I also ordered there for the first time and, like you, in April. Maybe they dispatch in the order in which the orders are received? Paid with PayPal (buyer protection)? The mediabook will still arrive!
Gonna skip this one. No subtitles, no sale
Yeah, mine arrived as well, and I’m in England. First time order for me too. You should be fine hopefully. I should have skipped this one too in hindsight, great picture and quality mediabook, but as Seb said, no subs is pretty rubbish. Will be looking to sell.
Has anyone heard any news or, as a German customer, already received their Mediabook? I don’t get any answers to my mails…
Did you order it? The only area where it is better than the Kino disc is the Italian audio, but it has no subtitles, so I see precious little reasons to buy it.
I have ordered and paid back in April, so I would just like to know if it will be delivered or if I should get my money back via Paypal. Unfortunately, as mentioned, I have not received a reply to my inquiries to PlatinumCult.
Something went wrong , it has been taking far too long .
Already get mine in July …
Try to contact them again .

Thanks for the information. I have now opened a case with PayPal, otherwise the deadline would have expired tomorrow.
I still really like this one, but after a rewatch I think it might drop out of my top 20. Frankly, Mann sucks in the lead role; completely wooden and unconvincing. Don’t even get me started on the “NOOOO” zoom in right before the last flashback at the end.
Speaking of the end, I think the final twist is handled pretty poorly. The final shootout is awesome, but the brother doesn’t have nearly enough screen time or characterization to make the final revelation have a real impact. Woody Strode is also underutilized, although he certainly makes the most of his screen time.
But there’s still a lot of really good stuff here. The aforementioned final shootout is downright awesome, one of the best if you ask me, and the deaths manage to make an impact despite some of the characters being underdeveloped.
I think this is Eastman’s best performance in a spag, and Martell is perfectly cast.
The soundtrack is controversial but I love it, including the theme tune. To be honest, I’m not eloquent enough to articulate what I think Ortolani was going for exactly, but I feel like it was deliberately at odds with the dark tone of the movie overall. That being said, it’s definitely a bit overplayed, and if you don’t find the tune catchy to being with I can understand how it would be aggravating.
to me first view I was badly surprised but I watched until the end and the script was pretty bad but I don’t know Leonard Mann was not good… I think the script was not good, I’m a fan of Leonard Mann. and I adore many actors but not everyone like the sames and it’s normal you have had a bad opinion about Leonard Mann, sorry that you didn’t like this western… but there was worse than this to me
Oh I still like the movie quite a bit! It’s just not top 20 for me anymore.
I understand
Have a nice day Joshua
