If the atmosphere of the movie is as great as in this trailer, then I have to watch this. 
Would like to see a 2.35 english audio version to this one. Have the 1.85 Uk dvd and a fan dvd which is in 2.35 for a bit then drops to 1.85 again.
Recently this one was shown on Italian TV in its correct aspect ratio
Image quality looks great.
I have the British release too, it’s not too bad, but like most SWs it should be watched in its correct AR
One of the better SWs with Indians (not the strongest point of the genre)
this one seems to get mixed opinions. i quite liked it although as Phil Sid it’s nothing spectacular, it is never anything less than watchable. 6/10
Phil Sid, a very nice fellow indeed, I’d give him at least 8/10

Back in spaghetti corner but too little spag for too much western,and not the good one. I don’t know if it was after or at the same time, but I start to believe that Soldier Blue was a more influential film than I thought it was.
Well first things first, didn’t like it much
1- SW with Indians are was always a coolicated thing, and we can see why, the Indians apart from the girl were never main characters, and they all looked (were) chinese, giving a a Shaw brothers feeling tothe film;
2-Doc character is fine, Steffen Zacharian gives a nice performance but is totally out of context with the film, there’s no comic relief that can safe Leonard’s Mann straight face scene after scene;
3- Rassimov and Kinski characters aren’t well explored, they are too interesting bad guys, that coud have made some a cool nasty duo but no, not even close;
4- Never liked that much those psychedelic westerns, not much scenes here of the kind, but the few ones I didn’t liked them, most of the times just looked like a poor’s man Parollini;
5- Finally the story has potencial but never delivers;
In the end some fine scenes but that’s all, we say that Steffen was wooden, but Mann is beyond wooden is petrified.
Underdog section for me

Says guy who calls himself El Topo 
That’s very strange. I thought you like Jodorowsky… :o
Well yes I like Jodorowsky, I was saying the psychedelic stuff but in the sense of stuff like Matalo, or the hippies in The Specialist, I see the point, but apart from Django shoots… with Millian, that stuff not really my cup of tea.
Jodorowsky El Topo goes beyond that, its an enigmatic film that in my opinion doesn’t feel dated, it can´t even be classified in terms of style
Hilarious anecdote (also reported in Marco Giusti’s book) about the curious behavior of Kinski and the director’s reaction.
From 2:15 to 3:20:

Indeed, watching it at natural speed the scene involving Squitieri appears to be rather chaotic and frantic… ;D
There’s some good scenes in the film. I liked the beginning where Mann fights the indians in the desert and the scenes with the girl when there’s no any talking. Girl getting whipped is always a pleasure and Kinski makes a great cameo of course. Otherwise i don’t like the film that much, it gets too boring towards the end.
My rating: 5/10
How does the UK dvd compare to the Brazilian one?
I got this film as a Christmas or birthday present. I can’t remember when but I think it was round about the time the C’est La Vie DVDs first came out. I enjoyed it back then but I tried to re-watch it not too long ago and couldn’t really get into it. There’s definitely some good bits but it’s not a brilliant one. Pity C’est La Vie disappeared. They had planned to bring back a lot of forgotten spaghetti westerns. Mutiny at Fort Sharp was on their “coming soon” list, for example.

I agree. I enjoyed the first 40 minutes the last time I watched it and then got bored. The fight scene with the Indians at the beginning was probably the best in the whole film.
Is there a list of their releases? All I can find in the DB is this, Acquasanta Joe, and Sartana in the Valley of Death. Did they do any more than those?
They also released Vengeance Trail and Some Dollars for Django.
They only released Vengeance Trail, Acquasanta Joe, Some Dollars for Django and Sartana and the Valley of Death. I have them all with the exception of the latter.
